"And we are magic talking to itself,
noisy and alone. I am queen of all my sins
forgotten. Am I still lost?
Once I was beautiful. Now I am myself" — Anne Sexton

I am forever astounded by the things that happen as a "everyday" thing in customer service.
Yesterday housekeeping was accused of ransacking a mans room and "spying" on files on his computer. I was screamed at by a grown ass adult because he wasn't getting us to suck his cock enough over it. No one went in that part of his room... and why would he have anything we'd give two shits over in there?
This morning a man showed up to reclaim his corvette from "professional" thieves. No he didn't want to call the police. They just made a trade and went about their day....

Up in the rice terraces of the Cordillera mountain range of the Philippines live the last few tattooed women of Kalinga. Traditional tattooing is seen as archaic and painful by the younger generations of Kalingas. As an Indigenous group that has successfully fought against colonizing forces, it is losing the practice of traditional tattooing because of the changing perspective of beauty and interpretations of the practice by outside scholars.
Studies on the tradition interpreted the practice to show that men were given tattoos because of brave acts during tribal wars while the women were given tattoos just to decorate their bodies. Men who attempt to get traditional tattoos without acts of bravery are shunned by the community and are now unable to continue the practice without facing criminal charges from the government. Women are unconstrained by the same reasons but are struggling to continue the practice because of the pervasive western interpretations of aesthetics that changed the perceptions of “beauty” in Kalinga. To the women of Kalinga, the batok or the tattoo goes beyond beauty and prestige but it is symbolic of the traditional values of women’s strength and fortitude.
The traditional tattoo is an indigenous body art, an expression of the psychological dimensions of life, health, love and it defines local perceptions of existence. Sadly there is now a decline of the traditional art among indigenous women brought about by the changing perspective of the meaning of the tattoo and its stigmatized practice. It is now considered a vanishing art along with the gatekeepers of the knowledge associated with it.

not sure why, but knowing a movie is done by Quentin beforehand makes it easier for me to follow or like. watched the movie without knowing this and kinda got annoyed because i wasn't sure where it was going at times. when i saw who directed it at the end, suddenly i thought, oh well duh.
anyone ever seen sukiyaki western django or the original django? makes you lol more.
My favourite characters: Django & Doctor King Schultz. (Django)
