A Sparkling Weekend of TV, Nude Wrestling, Russian Art and Penis Manipulation!

When I was in college I dreamed of the time I would be free of school, out of Texas and enjoying incredible sparkling Friday nights. Well, I've been out of college for 13 years this coming December and just wanted to report that I am totally free of school, out of Texas and am spending an exciting Friday night watching TV. As Meatloaf once sang, 2 outta 3 ain't bad and I certainly am not trying to drill for oil on a city street.

I had planned on seeing Russian Ark, but I was so tired after work that I decided I just couldn't be bothered with driving to Cambridge. I do plan to try and catch it on Sunday. So, looks like I will be watching the newly released DVD version of Women In Love! This was the really the last "normal" film Ken Russell ever made. He sort of went off the deep end after this one. I much prefer his insane period to his literay moments. However, one can't beat watching Alan Bates and Oliver Reed (circa 1969) wrestling nude! Repressed bear-love at it's best!

Tomorrow night we are finally seeing Puppetry of the Penis! Am really looking forward to it. Have been waiting oh so very long! I had to convince Karl, Petie and Duncan, but I think they will enjoy it as well.

My boss will be out of the office for the next 6 business days attending a mandatory meeting with my firm's big wigs. I am probably the only person on the planet who dreads it when the boss isn't there! But I will survive! Just like Gloria Gaynor.
