Talking about the Sicilian is like dancing about architecture
Last night I hung out with Frank for a bit, and as always could not resist bringing up the Sicilian. Talking about an old flame is like smoking a guilty cigarette behind the building with the guys in Shipping & Receiving. I get dizzy and I swear a lot, and I try to act aloof and fierce like one of the boys. The only difference is that when I smoked with the Shipping guys, sometimes Martin would bully George into using the hot glue gun on his own hand to prove how tough he was. That kind of thing mostly doesn't happen during a simple discussion about the Sicilian.

it occurs to me to mention that dancing about architecture, despite being the industry standard for nonsense, is something that my architecture professors would have happily assigned to me given half a chance. when you start thinking that doing finely drafted architectural drawings based on four measures of "my favorite things" as played by john coltrane is a normal and comprehensible assignment, can tap-dancing in a top hat about the cathedral at chartres be far behind?

dancing about architecure....hey, is that an intended reference to playing by heart? i LOVE that movie. it's the best role angelina jolie has played too, in my opinion.

you mean better than her groundbreaking performance as the woman behind the tits in tomb raider? better than her role as part of billy bob's pantleg in pushing tin?

hey, now. easy on angelina "collagen hell" jolie. few actresses these days possess her depth of character acting. why, in her brief career she's already played a rebellious supermodel, a rebellious mental patient, a rebellious car thief, and a rebellious relic hunter, all of them well-breasted. let's see anne bancroft pull that off.

hee hee...well her tits may have broke some ground there, but i dunno about her performance.

not to mention, she also played a rebellious news anchor woman with big tits and kinda scary hair.

and let's not forget her debut performance of a rebellious roller blading hacker in, yep, Hackers.
