What's your triumvirate?

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] gave me this idea a while ago. She mentioned that her trinity was -lipstick, yarn and shoes.

I assume that a trinity is a material possession that you feel the need to acquire, regardless of how much you actually own of the possessions in questions.


After some careful thought, I have decided that my trinity is- books (duh), moisturizer/lotions, and notebooks.

What's yours?

The robots are real!!

I'm somewhat amused by the robots in the video for the Beck song "Hell yes." The best way to see the video is go to go Beck.com, and click on the video section. Then go to the video "Hell yes."

Those robots are apparently the Sony QRio robots. They are currently available in Japan, but will not be available in North America for several years.

Oscar Project- "Patton"

Patton won the Oscar for Best picture in 1970. It's a LONG movie about General George Patton, who was a very driven general during World War 2. The movie starts with a long speech given by Patton, then heads to him leading troops into battle into Tunisia. I watched this movie over a period of three days, watching an hour at a time. I actually enjoyed it, even though I wasn't expecting to.

George C. Scott, who plays Patton, gives a good performance. I didn't necessarily like the character of Patton, but I found his pigheadedness, and his absolute love of war and battle to be engrossing. There are also some scenes which really drew me in because of their strangeness, such as a scene in which Patton prays to God for good weather, so that he can kill his enemies. I'm all about character and character studies, and I guess this is why this film worked for me.
