hypocricy, midwinter and christmas shit (again)

Had pizza with flatmate B, Laffe and Jen today. We sat sluggishly in the pizza joint watching some mtv on the wall, trying to discuss the small alternative non-xmas party we're having in a couple of days. Somehow we ended up talking about the danish Dogma-director Lars von Trier and what he did in one of his films, namely shooting a real live sex-scene, not with porn actors, but with the "real" actors in the film, who agreed to it. The debate in media after wards is what really annoys me. Journalists were really upset over this, and one reporter stooped to such levels that he actually wrote some crap about "seeing the shame and ambivalence reflected in the female actors eyes during and after the scene". What is that? And why don't they debate porn then. Granted porn actors are really really *bad* actors in nine out of ten cases, but if you have an inner code, ambivalent feelings and a soul-life, these things certainly are not measured by how good an actor you are or if you have gone to any acting schools. If actors want to do sex, it could get very interesting, even if it's not full penetration. Better acting, other kinds of bodies than porn bodies, probably a better plot that turns you on easier. Nothing wrong with that, as long as it's totally guided by free will, and the director is willing to take in porn body doubles (as was the fact with Triers film)according to the actors wishes.

So...It's midwinters night. I think I've gotten hold of a sleeping bag that holds off frost, and I might just venture out and spend the night on the old mounds. It's a bit of tradition during this time of year. There will probably not be much sleep, but some clearness of perception might fall down on me ::grins:: It's cold as Odins snot in Jotunheim, but also lovely, clear sky with stars and an almost full moon shining over the snow.

And for the comedy part of this entry, I talked to my mum over the phone today. She asked me what to send to me for christmas, I said "nothing", she asked again, I sad "nothing", she asked a third time, I said "socs", she got angry, and as a joke I said "oh, ok, a digital camera then.." she said "fine" in a firm tone. Of cause I took it back immediately, but I'm not sure she got that, and I worry, 'cause she probably don't know how much those things cost. Heh..I'll have to call tomorrow and try to rewind...
