Halloween After Hours: A Poem

Much had to be done on All Hallow's Eve



Leaving CatPaws alone in the dark



Roads ahead, though, was a Rubiks cube bereaved...



Oh, pizza alone on a night so stark -



Join me, Rubik's. BFF'ers we can be?



Okay, Catpaws! An adventure hitherto, follow me into the night!



Look at all we can see!











[Oh no, I spillz!]



God, where did CatPaws go? Yes, Rubik's will make this right!



We are, Cat in the Box, once more.



THE END! GOOD NIGHT

CH: Yeah, I'm kind of sick of the G-spot...
CL: Yeah, we can talk about something else...sexy...
CH: Communal babies?
Jinny: What?
CH: Like having babies, and shipping them around monthly - sharing babies, when we're like 30 - like sharing a love child.
Eve: You and I should have babies Jinny. They would be so hot.
CL: Yeah, anything mixed with asian is hot shit.

Pentheus

In the lecture on The Bacchae, Professor Banerjee compared King Pentheus, the closet Dionysus worshipper, to the Republican Senator from Iowa, Larry Craig, as a closet homosexual, which was truly amazing to hear from an old, sweet, Russian woman.

"As Dionysus seduces Pentheus, the most opposed to the Bacchants, with the curiosity of the Bacchants, we see the psychology of it all at work...ah! Very much like the tapping senator, yes? With his tapping foot? When he requests booty from the cop in the next stall. Yes. For instance, the most opposed to pornography are most interested in pornography, they say. So you see! Dionysus' method of seduction is still working among us..and humanity has not changed very much."

Darjeeling Limited

Last night, Jinny, Ceilidh, and Eve saw Darjeeling Limited



Here is what we thought:

Eve says: Overall, this movie was enjoyable to watch, but it didn't leave me feeling satisfied. I really love movies that have a solid beginning, middle, and end. Unfortunately, more and more indie movies are veering away from that classic story style. This movie, like many other up and coming indie films, appear to exist primarily to give you a snapshot into someone's life. Actually. this one was a little more than that though, because what happened in it wasn't a snapshot in the character's daily lives. What I mean by a snapshot is that there wasn't a clear beginning where you understood what was happening and why, and throughout the movie it was difficult to get particularly attached to the characters, not understanding their backgrounds. In the end, I still didn't know what the conclusion of the journey was. Basically, lots of things happened, and it was hard to get emotionally involved with no knowledge on the lives of the characters. Despite all this, the movie was very enjoyable. The characters and the plot were very comical. I love love love the three main actors: Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, and Adrien Brody! What happens in this movie IS interesting, but it would have been even more interesting to know what happened before the story, and what happens after. Of course I am sure Wes Anderson made it this way for a reason! I recommend this movie for the setting (India), the comical style of the actors (Wilson, Schwartzman, and Brody), and the hip music! :)

Jinny says: I thought it was a beautiful film. I loved all the camera angles and Wes Andersons' curt humour. I have been reading a lot about how the plot synopsis is empty, but I thought it was enough - maybe it is just the Miranda July fan in me, but I love when stories or films start at a seemingly random place, give no real explanation for the past and coming events; then, make the viewer put the puzzle together. This film is about these trio of brothers, who have a constrained relationship, all three at different points of their [love] lives - hoping to find something, or each other, in an adventure through India. The dichotomy between the Indian surroundings and the three Western men, I thought, was truly beautiful, and elegantly done. Clues to their lives and the dynamics of their relationships are gently given away in the course of the movie. I forgot to mention that it is funny. The awkward or 'what the hell?' The Office kind of funny. And finally, the soundtrack is amazing: traditional Indian music, Clair de lune, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones.

Bof Fri Fleu

There was a sign on the PVTA that gave instructions about checking signs for stroke. We thought 'bof fri flue' was pretty hilarious as an example of speech that "[sounded] strange".

-Eve! That man, he doesn't look well...Is he having a stroke?
-Excuse me sir, can you say 'bof fri flue'?
-AALKSAMALKSnaoiQMKNQWLnklsa
-Don't worry about it Jinny, he is A-OKAY!
