Zed's dead baby

We watched “Inglourious Basterds” the other day. Brilliant, but one has to have a highly developed Tarantino-esque taste! It is not for the uninitiated or for the light at heart! I regret to say that he remained faithful to his love for violence and knives, but sculling?! What is he thinking? I suppose one could see the humour in it but one has to keep watching and not covering one’s eyes all the time!And just as I was getting interested in baseball and the Red Sox, batting just went and got a completely new dimension! And mentioning Fenway Park just doesn’t have the intended ring!C. Waltz was excellent…though! Do I hear he is on the run for the Oscar? Well…it would be very well deserved. Actually, the rest of the cast were excellent as well! Brad Pitt gets an honourable mention for his brilliantly failed attempt to speak Italian! I loved the way Tarantino used music for effect (and boy was I touched with David Bowie!). The film had a number of good one-liners but was unfortunately no match for his previous efforts, of “I love you honey bunny” fame!

Hello

So there it goes. I had been thinking about this for a very long time and now that technology is in place I decided to launch my "seemingly random thought of the day". You see, it was going to be a just "random thought of the day" but when you google this, you discover that you are neither alone in your brilliance, nor is it actually random, as the thought generated actually serves some greater, albeit not always conscious, cosmic purpose. So here we are then and my "seemingly random thought of the day" is exactly this, my blog-birth. Emulating Jeffrey Eugenides' first line from "Middlesex", I am thus born twice. And I am hoping that my digital re-birth will prove worthy of the task.

I will be experimenting with the site as well as the content, but my main purprose is to write. And it doesn't matter really what it is, so long as it just gets written. So how's that for random?
