Dum Vivimus, Vivamus: Well you see, there was this movie, and...oh, never mind.

Well you see, there was this movie, and...oh, never mind.

As my kids get older, they are starting to notice things...like the lyrics and meaning of songs.

Today while we were running around, the Warren Zevon classic, Werewolves of London.

My older daughter asked what the point of the song was, and I must not have done a very good job of explaining why an early 80's movie about werewolves needed a hit song.

Eventually, I gave up.

Kind of like the producers of 'Last Ship'. I SOOOOO didn't want it to suck(I mean, it has The Hero of Canton!)...15 minutes in and I am rapidly losing faith.

I am wondering where the last ship is going to refuel, those LM2500's are thirsty.

"What did I want?

I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The games' afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon.

I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be -- instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is."
-- Glory Road, Robert Heinlein

Why?
