Forgive my insensitivity
but why is it that,
when faced with
failure,
financial figures choose
suicide
rather than face
a life of quiet despair
and/or
the consequences of their actions,
or inactions?

If you had to choose
between a known hell
and one that’s new,
which would it be?

It bothers me when people refer to spring as summer and fall as winter. Can we not stay in the present season and enjoy the moment– or I am too grouchy?
Werner Herzog is Truly Curious

Yesterday I saw “The Dark Knight” but perhaps since I am not a geek, er, avid fan of The Batman oeuvre, I found it a bit muddled: compelling when The Joker was on the scene, boring whenever there was what felt like extended action sequences, you know the car chases and stuff for boys.
The benefit of summertime under-employment is the afternoon movie w/ a.c., small popcorn and a diet coke so today, for the sake of contrast, I saw Werner Herzog’s new documentary about the Antarctic.
If you spend a few minutes on my blog you’ll notice that I ask a lot of questions –but Werner Herzog’s are way better. For example, he asks why chimps, with their superior intelligence, don’t use lesser animals, like the goat, for transportation.
The documentary is so filled with spectacular images and sounds and compassionate interviews that, despite his conclusion that our species is certain to cause its own extinction, you leave the theater with a feeling of joy and wonder. Unlike “The Dark Knight,” nights in Antarctica are filled with light and populated with characters who are intelligent, entertaining, and with the exception of the penguin expert, articulate and engaging storytellers.
If your summer movie money is limited, I say ditch Gotham and head for the South Pole.

Do you meet more people who could be cuckoo — or do you just have more experience?
