disco inferno

work is going allright. my boss was pissed off at me last week, and that was less than pleasant. it took a week of being a totally innocuous, shoot-the-shit employee to smooth things over. it's not a perfect job, but it's a job, and i'd like to keep it. and i also want to ask for benefits, so i should try not to rock the boat.

my roommate is reading dante's inferno, and we were trying to think of who to cast in the film version. this is what we came up with:

director / dante: roberto benigni
virgil: umberto eco
beatrice: monica belucci
satan: tim roth/gary oldman/ralph fiennes -- for satan's three faces
count ugolino: robin williams
archbishop ruggieri: billy crystal
charon: jack nicholson
minos: brad pitt
phlegyas: christopher walken
the fallen angels at the wall: the remaining members of monty python.
the angel who lets virgil and dante through the wall: bill murray.
cerebus: benji

more black comedy than divine comedy. it would have to be an all-star cast in any case. i'll gladly take suggestions!

well, i just got out of the shower, my hair is wet, and i'm getting cold.

here's a gratuitous shot of jude law:



current music: the streets, a grand don't come for free. oh, and if you haven't heard it, you have to find johnny cash's cover of soundgarden's "rusty cage." it's sublime.
