I went into Portland today -- the second time in a week, woohoo. Met up with liviapenn at Pioneer Square (I was fifteen minutes late), and stopped at the mall real quick so Livia could have a pretzel dog and I could pick up an extremely cute dress I've been eyeing for a few weeks. Afterwards, we walked over the theater and met some friends of hers and saw PotC again -- third time for both of us, I believe.

Okay, so the first time I saw the movie, it was all watching, everything's new, blah blah, right? And the *second* time, I'm watching for nitpicks and foreshadowing and everything I missed the first time. Number three, though? Pretty much pure squeeeeee.

Also, Jack, Will and Elizabeth each become more complex and likable each time I see it. And I still don't get Jack/Norrington.

Anyway, after the movie: a. Livia and I discussed Orlando Bloom's weird woobie-on-command eyes, which mutated into how Peter Parker is the woobie-to-end-all-woobies (because I just watched Spiderman this week); b. She, her friends and I went to some Cuban (Caribbean!) place and ate some tasty, extremely cheap food; c. I saw her friend's incredibly cool sketches and d. Livia sent me home with confusing MAX directions.

One further note, as I was reminded of this by the movie today: Swordfights or fencing? Always sexy. I have drooled over this phenomenon with both thete1 and carmarthen, and ... dude. For one thing, just swordsssss. And then the movements! And the instant sexual tension! And ... okay, I don't know why else. But mmmmmmmmmmmm.

When I was a kid, I remember seeing dueling (epee and sabre, I believe) in the Olympics. For some strange reason, they've chosen not to show such things on tv any more, and I think it's a drastic mistake! Sure, gymnastics has cute pre-pubescents, but, as you so rightly say, swordsssssssss... Maybe if we all write letters and email, they'll actually let us see some next time. Maybe the PotC phenomenon will remind them that people like watching hot men thrusting long things at each other. Maybe pigs will fly.


Le sigh....

Indeed - that's why I was so happy 4 years ago when the boything announced he was taking up fencing...

He was concerned it would be too expensive, and I'm all "No, no, it'll be fine, go right ahead" ;)

Hell yeah. Also, for me? Archery. Mmm.
