Office Christmas decorations went up today. Doc was smart enough to make some appointment up and leave early leaving Lysania and yours truly with a couple of unmarked boxes (open up and find out) roll after roll of wrapping paper, golden ribbons and glass snow flakes. We also had a very dangerous can of "snow"- that thing you put on your glass door and then there is no force on earth that will leave the glass immaculate again.
The tree was the easiest part, pretty little thing with ice blue streaks and tiny wooden carved snowmen. Snowmen by the way, was the "theme" for our display this year. we thought it would be fun to cover the doors to the exam room with wrapping paper and bow so that they would look like gifts. It seemed an easy task. Two hours later some how we ended thinking about Ed Wood much more than we should have. the doors were our PLAN 9...
Sania: I think the bow is crooked
L: It's perfect
Sania: But the paper is kind of bundling up towards the end
L: It's a touch of realism... do you know anybody that can wrap a perfect box, all corners folded in?
Sania: Well there is this guy....
L: Let's leave it, Ok, people wont notice
Glass snowflakes were easy, all we had to so was stick them around and... not... break them. Let's say we started with 32 and then were forced to go for a "lesser is more approach"
Snow was fun, until we noticed that it ran into the carpet as well. In order to avoid complains from the cleaning crew it was our job to remove it. Real snow is easier, all you need is salt and a shovel. This one, well, let's say there are parts of the carpet with lots less color than when we started.
At the end none of us had a bit of Christmas spirit and were glad this shit happens only once a year.
In other, absolutely nothing to do with whatever I'm talking about news PREACHER is being developed by HBO!!!!!!
In the Christian circles when people talk about the Preacher from Texas they usually refer to Joel Osteen http://www.joelosteen.com/site/PageServer?pagename=AboutJoel
I've always had to look the other way because I actually think Reverend Jessie Custer, http://ubqtous.com/preacher.cfm
PREACHER, along with SANDMAN is one of those works that you want to see translated into another media, the thought of it brings thrills, and a lingering sense of a disappointment to come. Long time ago when a guy called Ben Affleck was a star, he was mentioned as a possible Custer. I almost died cause I knew what few didn't back then... Affleck was worth shit when it comes to depth. A while after they mentioned James Marsden and I was a little more hopeful, but still there was the trying to fit it all in 90 minutes thing...HBO though it's another story. They will give it, most of all, time for story development and probably decent uncompromised acting.
See? There's always reason to rejoice... I'll try to get back into the Christmas spirit...
