it's a man's life...pearldiving for new pics!

yes, i've got some stuff to trick and some stuff to go looking for... but i hope to back on the planet soon.

i love you all.

hot marlene

okay, i rrreaallly hope i don't get 'flagged' for this; the chick being 'full frontal' and all. i really like this playboy centerfold for a lot of reasons. first of all, i dig it because, upon first glance, she doesn't seem at ALL like my 'type.' like, she's got that wild sorta, late 70's slightly-country-rock biker vibe to her... do you know what i mean? like it looks, at first, like her favorite song might be something like 'khatmandu' by bob seger and the silver bullet band. its something about that headband and that belt that makes me think maybe she'd wear one of those leather-strip hairclips with the beads and the few feathers at the end. like, you'd get into her black pontiac firebird and she'd crank up the allman brother's band doing like, 'jessica' or 'ramblin' man,' you get the idea. but hey, first impressions are often incorrect. perhaps she digs to the sweet mellow sounds of seals and crofts doing 'summer breeze' or like, fleetwood mac doing 'tusk.' (great song, by the way.) i wish i was able to tell you this chick's whole name, but i only noted her first name: marlene. hey, the longer i look at her, the prettier she seems to get. i don't usually prefer blondes, but she's got a bright, fierce face, with bright eyes... she looks happy, and her sweet boobs, although smallish, are practically perfect, and (thank god) all natural. so, again, please nobody flag me for celebrating this lovely lady. we all like looking, don't we? so everybody should be happy.

...almaaa....!!

i love this screen capture. jean-lucien nailed it, and sent it to me quite a while ago. it didn't have the pink caption on it IN the movie; i added that myself. but the bloke in the picture IS actually saying it... in the movie, i mean. and which movie would that be? its from ken russell's masterpiece 'Mahler,' starring robert powell as composer gustav mahler, and georgina hale as mahler's wife, alma. the guy in the picture isn't robert powell though... i'm disappointed to admit that right now, as of this 'precise moment,' i can't come up with the actor's name. but, in the movie, he's got a bit of a crush of mahler's wife, and calls out her name, hurling out ivory pages of sheet music, as the train thunders on towards the horizon. and, for those of you out there, wondering if this movie had anything to do with my pen name, then you are dead-on accurate. it had a great deal to do with it. you might even say that georgina's portrayal in this movie "put the 'alma' in 'almadora.'" so dig on this gorgeous shot, and if you can ever get your hands on a copy of the movie, do yourself a favor and roll it. its not the most action-packed movie in the world... like you won't see 'trans-robo-trons' destryoing a major city, or subways blowing up, or like, pixar-talking table lamps making 'gas' jokes or anything like that, but you will see one of the most lovely, lyrical, and wildly inventive movies you've ever seen. (hey, georgina's costumes alone are more or less worth the purchase price.) oh, and god bless ken russell.

'eglantine' : unknown

ahhh, i love jean-lucien. he sends me some of the most beautiful stuff. he sent me this movie poster a little whild ago... i instantly thought it was 'desktop-worthy.' and jean-luc had the same reaction; it was already on his desktop. and as of 'now,' its on mine. i have never seen this movie... i have never heard of this movie. (mmm, imagine that.) but i think the poster is so elegant and cunning and lovely, that i just couldn't resist giving it an electronic place of honor. i love the boy and girl children in the lower foreground; the boy in official dark navy little soldier's dress, and the girl in very feminine pink ruffles, etc. it reminds me of jean-luc and i... finding our way through the woods. i'd love to say i've heard of the director jean-claude brialy, but honestly, i have not. in fact, none of the French names ring familiar. but i thought the poster was pretty enough to stand on its own. and i love that word: 'eglantine.' i have no idea what it means, but it sounds good, looks good, and feels good rolling off the tongue. so dig it, and perhaps i'll have the pleasure of screening 'eglantine' sometime in the future.

sunday night mind meld

...it IS 'meld,' isn't it? i mean, its not 'melt,' is it? so... would you believe i've just recently started paying any kind of real attention to star trek? its odd, considering almost every man i've ever been involved with has been a fan. what can i say? i tend to attract the 'star-trek-star-wars' type. i've watched several episodes of the show recently, and i dig it. its just predictable enough to make it fun. i thought kirk would've gotten on my nerves, but i dig him. he's so... so Kirk, you know? but he's not the one i enjoy most. i gotta admit the truth, i like spock. facially, he's quite lovely... and i can relate to his fact-based, logical, virgo-esque ways. so, thanks to jean-luc, here's a shot of my man, (can he really be called a 'man?') my smooth Vulcan spock, (he IS a Vulcan, isn't he...?) putting the famous 'mind meld' on a wicked chick. so, i expect i'll see more 'trek' in the future... until then... i will 'boldy go' to sleep pretty soon, before starting off the new week. (oh, and just for the record, i'm hopeless when it comes to successfully putting up the 'live long and prosper' trek hand signal. my fingers just don't naturally split that way. its pathetic.) but here's to Spock. he's super-cool.
