trex wants cake

[threeplusfire]

Well, I am thirty. My job annoys me. My skin till breaks out in spots. But I have cake.

Watched Downfall this evening, which was tense and I think really interesting. At the time it came out, I recall there being a lot of press devoted to the question of whether or not we should attempt to "humanize" Adolph Hitler and other Nazi leaders. I can't say this portrait is terribly sympathetic of anyone. Goebbels especially, and his wife. Cold, cold, soulless creatures they seemed.

The marigolds bloomed. I was expecting them to be orange but they are yellow.

The farm share was full of strawberries and blackberries and peaches. Mmm pie time.

Also, LJ, wtf is with the changing it so I only see ten entries on my friendslist? It took me five minutes to fix, but I still find it deeply annoying and now if I go to read a community I am forced to deal with this if they haven't fixed it. Ugh. Not everyone has the attention span of a gnat.

Also, I will finally admit I find twitter far superior to facebook. At least twitter isn't pretending to be more meaningful than it is. Or perhaps I am just enjoying the BPGlobalPR guys way too much. But I would rather just have twitter than the dreadful book of faces.

MY skin still breaks out in spots and I am half again your age :)

How do you fix the ten entries thing? It's driving me nuts too!

I found the breakouts got WORSE after 30. Or maybe that just goes with the stress levels.

I really enjoyed Downfall as well. It was sobering and visceral, without a lot of the sugar-coating or even most of the vilifying that usually accompanies any WWII Nazi movie. Have you seen The Counterfeiters? Another fantastic WWII movie.

Oh my God, the Goebbelses, the scene with the children. And then at the end knowing they sugar-coated the secretaries' utterly horrific fate at the hands of the invading Russian army. I had to go back and rewatch Wings of Desire just to see Bruno Ganz playing someone sweet and kind (I have a sort of "Will you be my imaginary dad?" crush on him so Hitler was rather a change of pace).

"Also, I will finally admit I find twitter far superior to facebook."

I hate Facebook and am seriously considering deleting my account despite basically being told I "should" be over there. Twitter and Tumblr are so much more fun.

Happy happy birthday my dear. Your birthday dinner description made me drool.

I hope this year brings you peace, laughter and many delicious cakes.

Oooh, I don't think I have you listed on my twitter. We must fix that--what is your name?
