percivalYesterday evening, after a certain phone call, as I was bouncing around the flat to the mellow sounds of the James Bond theme tune, my husband observed: "You sure enjoyed talking to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
piperx." Oh, my darling can read me just fine :)

Alfonso Cuaron quote from the NYT:
"Harry Potter deals with class, with race, with power. I see this book as a metaphor for our times. The evil Voldemort is very similar to Saddam Hussein. Or George Bush. They're really the same. I believe George Bush and Saddam Hussein should go to a desert island together and relax. It would be a love affair, like in ''Y Tu Mamá También.'' And then there would be no war."
Even though I think Saddam is far worse than GWB, it's a fair comment with a badly needed sense of humour.
***
The German weekly Der Spiegel reports that anorexia now strikes more and more women in their 40's and 50's who want to recover their lost youth. That's a shame. Whenever I'm among older women, I'm reminded of the fact that women, especially those that have borne children, are *not* supposed to look like little girls. They are supposed to have curves, hips, a bum, a tummy, thighs, and boobs. What's wrong with looking normal?
***
I felt dizzy when I woke up today. It could be my usual cold-around-conception-time: make sure the immune system is all fired up so that we can safely reject any baby that dares to try to implant. Am leaving work early today.
