Piercings & Miscellaneous
I finally have ammunition to counter Paul’s persistent nagging that I should have my ears pierced. Essentially, I’ll have my ears pierced if he will have some part of himself pierced. As that will never happen, I’m quite safe.
Of course, I wouldn’t want Paul to have a piercing. I cannot stand them on men, whether they are in the ear, lip, nose, nipple, navel, tongue or genitals. I could probably just barely tolerate an eyebrow ring. But really, I’d rather he have a tattoo than a piercing.
As for me, it’s not the needle or the piercing gun that is an obstacle to me having my ears pierced. I have no desire to have any part of me run through. And then of course there’s the situation of promptly being handed earrings for every special birthday or occasion for the rest of my life. Why fill up precious gift slots with the utterly un-exciting prospect of little metallic studs? How utterly un-exciting.
In a totally unrelated vein…
In stopping in at G’s place on Saturday night to drop him off, I finally got to see the trailer for the BloodRayne movie, starring Kristanna Loken. I can’t quite decide if it will be as big a lot of crap as the Doom film, but this one has certainly missed the point as much as the id flick.
Although I haven’t played the game, to my knowledge BloodRayne was about hacking and slashing your way through assorted vampires and Nazis in World War II Germany. The BloodRayne film is set in the 1700s and seems to be going for that Eastern European gypsy tone of Van Helsing.
As a redhead, Kristanna Loken looks horribly worn. She looks more like a harried Beerfest waitress, or a 330 patron after a night of frenzied, ecstasy-induced dancing, than the curvaceous, collected, aristocratic-looking BloodRayne of the game and concept art.

I cannot understand why women seem to choose the ones that are most exploitive to their gender to idolise the main character. She didn't look aristocratic, she looked like a porn star. And she was rather tasteful compared to some of the supporting cast.
Damn but that game was bad. Got bored after 5 minutes.
You are right though. You will get earrings as birthday, christmas and anniversary presents for at least the first 3 years of you having them. Trust me on this.
The BloodRayne movie doesn't relate to the game at all. I have no idea what they were thinking, and quite frankly, it looks like it's going to be shit. No, giving that one a miss.
