lost in translation

I'm not sure why that's an appropriate title for this blog, it just felt right. I continue to get comments and e-mails indicating that you all are still reading this blog, and to say that I'm blown away by that.

I've always said that I never wanted to write these to be "read" and I know that is unavoidable. Of course I'm writing these to be read, but now I know for a fact that they're being read by she. That is slightly disconcerting and overwhelmingly comforting simultaneously. So if you're stealing bandwidth and reading this. . .hi. . .how are ya? I miss you.

I'm currently watching Pirates 3: At World's End. Thus far, I'm digging it. I'm watching it FAR later than I wanted to. You see, several months ago, I was positive that this third and final installment had already been released on DVD, so I added the second installment to my Blockbuster que and thought that when I finished watching it, I would simply take it to my nearest Blockbuster and get the third. That didn't so much work out for me as when I took the film to Blockbuster, I was informed that the third was at least a month away from release. So, I was dismayed that I would not be finishing the trilogy that evening. I am also dismayed now that I have discovered I have no idea what the hell is going on. It's pretty clear that they filmed the second two movies in succession (and simultaneously), but the story isn't as congruent from the second to the third as it was from the first to the second. I'm confused. Something has been lost in translation for me. Ahhhhhh. . .there it is. . .there's the rationale behind the title.

I tend to like these films, and they're a little crazy, which means I think I like them more. . .


untill then. . .i'm out,
