On its way.... beautiful fresh, sunny morning here; walk along local river and a hearty brekkie; life can be good sometimes

Not UK over here, but I do have weird sleeping habits so I thought I'd wave.

Hey you. Hope you're doing OK. Good luck with the job application.

It seems to have rained here overnight. Might explain the sneezing this morning.

might need more coffee

I'm doing a lot better, thanks! I hope you are too. I hate my moodiness sometimes.

Thank you, thank you. I feel like Rudolph Valentino in The Sheikh, now.

I don't know who that is
but I'm hoping it's a good thing

Rudolph Valentino was a very popular silent movie actor who specialised in romantic lead roles. He was sort of the Bradley Cooper of his day

Ah gotcha

He was, like, the first super sexy film star dude. Anyway, he played this guy who was an evil sheikh and such, but was also very sexy about it.

Got to love a handsome villain.
Not in real life obviously - those guys are pricks
There's just something about the charismatic bad guy..

Right? And he really nailed down The Stare. I guess when you're in a silent film, you have to rely on The Stare a lot. However, I guess my initial point was that this bro was super romanticized because of his foreign role. Exoticism and what not. It's not better in the books it was based off, either. But Valentino was a really interesting character. And he unfortunately lived very briefly.

I'm glad that was your point and that you weren't announcing yourself as a villain.

Sounds like an interesting guy though. I don't know anything really about the silent movie era

It's one of my favorites! Theda Bara is a goddess, for instance. Valentino was bisexual at the very least, a dangerous and sexy libertine. I wish more silent films were available. A lot of them were destroyed in fires or deliberately.

But no, I'm not really a villain. Just more of a fact spouting person who came in to infodump, apparently. How are you doing?
