make it so...
despite my picard-like title, this post has nothing to do with star trek, and everything to do with sesame street...
i have declared that this week is ernie week, and every day, you can look forward to another video featuring ernie, or bert and ernie. i adore ernie. and if i ever find that ernie counting himself to sleep clip, omg, i will be so happy, i think i'll die... and if anyone's interested, you can also find a clip of the james earl jones reading of Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain, from reading rainbow. it's awesome.
*hugs*
i'm awfully fond of all of you guys too, by the way. *smile*
i really hope y'all enjoyed this one. does anybody have preferences for next weeks sesame clips? i'm taking requests... i thinking either counting cartoons, or letter songs (like C is for cookie, and the capital I song), or maybe teeny little super guy...
what do y'all think?
in other news, i have become efficient at laundry and dish-washing, i just saw the weirdest movie ever. (odd for pairing with a sesame street vid, but i'm forging ahead anyhow.)
it's called Psychopathia Sexualis, and it's a film that is kind of a cross between movie and video rendition of psychological study. it's based on the research book on sexual deviancy published at the turn of the century (the last one, not this one) by Richard von Krafft-Ebing. it's twisted and dark, and it's guaranteed to be more than a little disturbing for some. but if you want a visual depiction of the sensuality and horror of 19th and early 20th century asylums and sexual deviancy (both the cures, and the practitioners themselves *grin*) i'd say it's worth a view. it IS an artsy type movie, and when i said to D. that i thought it would be a thinker, He said i was spot on. you need to concentrate, and view it from the proper frame of mind. it IS a film interpretation of a medical/psychological research text from a time when anything straying from the norm, from homosexuality, to bdsm, was treated as a horrible disease that must be cured, and in an era where female hysteria was a common diagnosis for women who spoke their minds... so remember that if you choose to watch it. we rented it at Movie Gallery, btw. Psychopathia sexualis. a film by bret wood.
*thinks* you know, that's a REALLY odd recommendation to make after puting up an ernie vid... meh. since when have -I- ever been normal?
