Most def!

So I’ve spent the day at a seminar on photography. From this I’ve learned two things.

1.When they key note speaker looks like the twin brother of Nathaniel Parker – aka Inspector Lynley among other things – and has a wonderful, honey voice it is extremely easy to get distracted. When he starts talking about the sensuality and the intimacy of photography this doubles.

2.Art Historical titles on books or lectures are sometimes bordering on the pompous and the absurd. Today I’ve listened to "The Death of the Death of the Photograph", "The Arbitrary Stillness of Surrendering to the Image" (no, I have no idea what that was about. At one point she talked about "the sharp intake of breath as we watch images, as a sign that time passes" Okay then... And "Sepulchre – the image in a new media age".

Fortunately the day also saw the arrival of The Wire season 3! And I’ll just add some more exclamation marks here: !!!!!! to properly highlight the occasion.

So far I’m two episodes in. I’m possibly already loving Bunny Colvin – who has just given his "paper bag for drugs" speech – and Stringer Bell with his chair meetings is beyond words.
"The chair don’t recognise your ass!" Hee. And the bit about Cheese and his dawg was absolutely wonderful.

In conclusion- if you don’t hear from me the next few days it’s because I’m hugging my The Wire dvd – or I’m silently pondering the question if it’s sane to watch Rome and The Wire at the same time.

Hee! Did the arbitrary stillness woman wear a lot of black and have severe eyeglass frames? :P

YAY FOR "THE WIRE!" EEEEE! Bunny is totally awesome. And I find the Roberts' Rules conversations completely hilarious and great. (Also, Cheese and Dawg - although I felt pretty bad for poor Dawg!)

And yes, of COURSE you can watch "Rome" and "The Wire" at the same time - who else am I going to discuss the hotness of Titus Pullo with? HUH?

Hee! She did - as well as a slightly asymmetric haircut. And help - I'm going back there tomorrow for the second day of the seminar. Hopefully they will have titles that actually makes sense to me. :P

And I felt bad for Dawg too.
That said the interrogation with Bunk, McNultey and Cheese was extremely funny. I love that "The Wire" between all the gritty realism is sometimes laugh out loud funny.

And really - how could I stay away from Titus Pullo? Especially after your picspam of sweaty muscled arms? Hee! Rome & The Wire - I just feel like a kid in a huge candy shop.

Often anything that Bunk is involved with is very funny :P (But then sometimes he is very serious too.)

I am afraid my Titus Pullo love is reaching unhealthy proportions. Oh dear me! As long as you are not going to abandon him, though, I'm totally OK with your watching Stringer Bell too (because it IS all about what I want, of course!) Hee!

Hee. Of course. ;D And really - how could I abandon Titus Pullo? Especially after the kiss in last episode? Now Stringer might be cool, and the chair does recognize his ass, but Titus wins out in the snuggling apartment. *g*

Hee! Yes, when he's not covered in the blood of others, Titus is surely VERY good at snuggling.
