He walks among us, but he is not one of us
Today M**** did get a train to Manchester (girls' night out), so A****** and I got on with more house decorating. Well, A****** helped in a manner. Finally removed all the old wallpaper from the kitchen (the kitchen is probably the least decorated room of all of them, it having much exposed, bare plaster), then cleaned the walls, removing the last bits of detritus . . . then let it dry. I've applied some paint (as a test), but I guess I really should have sealed the plaster with something. Hmmmmm. Also just finished watching 'A History of Violence' which was . . . interesting. Just been reading the reviews on Amazon, which kind of hit the nail on the head - good old Aragorn was definitely fascinating to watch in this film. After that seemingly dreadful film Viggo did after Lord of the Rings with all those horses (yeah, okay, so I never actually watched it), I was worried that he would forever be famous as nothing more than Aragorn, but perhaps not after all.
The title for this entry came from a supposed translation of the tattoo on Jack's arm in Lost, the latest episode (where are we now? series 3? episode 9?). The line has a resonance about it, but I'm not sure why. It's probably the same resonance that makes you think, whilst watching, say, 'The English Patient', "He looks familiar. Isn't that Sayid?" or perhaps whilst watching Ugly Betty, "Say, isn't that Penny's dad?" or maybe you'll just be grazing through the channels and stumble upon an old episode of Taggart, "HEY! Stop! Go back! That was, erm . . . thingy, from Lost . . . erm . . . DESMOND! Yes, Desmond! That was Desmond." Still, that hobbit from Lord of the Rings looks nothing like Charlie . . . well, maybe slightly.
