Bodies, Madams and Stones.

cyberspiceWell it's the end of another busy day and I'm off to bed.
I've been coding away at work like a mad thing. I've been asked to perform miracles *again* but as I'm trying to get a promotion and associated good payrise I don't mind. It's actually quite easy work as I had thoroughly analysed the requirements and formed a design before being asked to write it. Scotty used to keep his reputation as a miracle worker by quadrupling time estimates and then doing it in half the time. I keep my reputation by being pretty good at guessing future requirements and having thought about them before being asked to think about them and so be a head of the game.
I had a request played on TotalRock radio today and it's not the first. I listen to it at my desk at work. Today's request was actually a short list of some of my favourite songs and they played more than one. The one dedicated to me was Temple of Love (1992) by, of course, Sisters of Mercy.
I had my usual forensics fix tonight. CSI-Crime Scene Investigation. I love that program. I find it fascinating and forensics would have been an interesting alternative career. I know it's not as glamourous as that really and can involve hours in the cold, damp and rain literally looking for a needle in a haystack but still I think I would enjoy it. Tonight's episode had one of the leads involved with a Mistress at an S and M house. I hope that story line continues but I don't think it will as it's too "risky" for US networks.
Most Mistresses I know are well educated, civilised individuals. Other similar programs I enjoy are the Cold Case Squad staring "Shoestring" (The actor's name has, anoyingly just popped out of my poor little brain) and Silent Witness. I also like to read Patricia Cornwell novels.
Speaking of reading I'm off to read Children of the Stones which is actually a children's book. In the 70's it was made in to a TV series and was filmed using Avebury, which, for those who don't know, is a village in Wiltshire built within a large stone circle very much like the village in the book. I recently noticed that it's been released on DVD so I may have to buy it. It was in the children's section of the local HMV but since it's not been aired in a couple of decades I would have thought all those who had last read it are now, like me, in their thirties. I really believe there ought to be a 'big kids' section in media stores for just this sort of thing.

on 2003-05-14 12:12 am (UTC)Love should be promoted and I mean love not sex. If more people loved more people there would be less hate. Society seems to want to control love and put restrictions on it. People have become property of other people and that means that all sorts of evils are released, lust, lies, jealousy and theft. It's the lies which are the worst. Adultery doesn't really exists. It takes two people to adulter and one of those must already been in a relationship. So either, they are having the relationship with their partner's consent which isn't adultery, or they are lieing to their partner in which case the lieing is the evil. Trust is the most important thing in a relationship. You must be able to talk to your partner about anything.
Sorry about the rant.
