strength of character

willowed cables entwined
confident in the bind

strait and narrow, strong
slight curve at the hilt
meeting emotion
with a halt
holding decision
above impulse
strong, wise and steady
grounded by design

Audition is a Japanese horror suspense movie about a man who holds auditions to find a new girlfriend. He ends up with a psychopath.


One of MCR's first videos uses the plot from the movie. It was Honey

I'm #1 baby

Carrie said...

Ha, Miranth, we are like totally neighbors, in the scheme of things! Cool!

ergoproxy said...

I saw an asian movie called "Dumplings"

very disturbing

ergoproxy said...

oh! that is where that video came from! I always wondered if it related to something else

thanks MJ!!

Vivienne said...

No p.s Mayo? that's a change, but a lovely entry anyway.
Hope you're well.

It's hot as hell here.

Take care everyone.

Martha - I did see that movie at the video store and wanted to rent it. I love Asian suspense films. I am sure the US version completely ruined The Eye, which was the movie that generated my interest in Asian horror.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Your welcome Ep. It was funny because it took me watching it 3 times before I realized what it was.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I loved The Eye.

For me it was Ringu.

The Mayo Gothic continues

The Direful Secret of Castle Mayo
by
Elena and Toujours


chapter 29

antonio closed his eyes, and his figure dimmed almost to invisibility. he seemed to be reaching out with his very substance. then he gasped, and his eyes flew open. he stared at arabella for a long moment, then vanished.

“Arabella, what just happened?” Paperheart asked as she reached out to touch her friend’s arm. She noticed that Arabella’s face had lost all color. “Are you all right?”
“I feel….” Arabella started to speak but suddenly the world before her eyes turned black. She fell to the floor before any of the Lovelies could reach her.

Artemus stood among the trees blanked by darkness. He closed his eyes and smiled, “She is weak now. Stupid wench gave too much of her power to that cursed ghost.” He took a step foreword “I’m feeling a bit weak myself.”
“What would you have me do, Lord?” Redrum asked awaiting the Master’s orders.
“I think it is time to let my brother taste the sweetness of one of his Lovelies.”
Redrums face showed no emotion. “Do you desire a certain one?’
Artemus contemplated the question for a moment, “Oh, such delectable choices. Does he favor one over another?”
“Lord Mayo’s favor does not fall upon certain ones. He treasures each for different reasons.”
“Fool” Artemus spat. “My brother is a fool.” His anger did not faze Redrum. “I do not care. Fetch one of them. Tell her Lord Mayo waits outside. Make whichever Lovely you chose believe it is imperative she comes alone. I shall be waiting.”
Redrum gave the slightest nod then turned to walk towards the castle.

“There is nothing more we can do now.” Martha said looking down at Arabella. “We have made her comfortable. Now we must watch over her until she regains her strength.”
The other’s who were gathered around Arabella’s bed nodded. It was Carrie who spoke, “I just wish we understood what happened. I do not believe Ghost caused Arabella to lose consciousness.”
“No, I don not believe that is what happened either.” Ergo said. “Ghost spoke to Arabella as a friend. She seemed to know him.”
“This is all too confusing.” Jen said shaking her head. “I will stay with Arabella and watch over her.”
The others agreed that every few hours they would switch Arabella’s guard. TJ offered to relieve Jen next and promised to return in two hours time. The Lovelies left the room and Jen settled in the chair by Arabella’s bed. Just an hour into her watch her eyes began to feel heavy. Her head fell to her chest as sleep claimed her.

Arabella’s eyes opened slowly as she struggled to remember what had happened. It all came back to her as she turned her head slowly and saw Antonio floating a short distance from her bed. She began to speak but he pointed to Jen asleep in the chair.
“Oh” Arabella whispered with a smile. “I shall be quiet.”
Antonio smiled, “She is very tired.”
“Your form is more distinct now.” Arabella said sitting up.
“That is, in part, thanks to you.” He said in a hushed tone.
Arabella thought back to their conversation, “Were you able to speak to Lord Mayo?”
He shook his head sadly, “I cannot reach him. I called out but I can not enter the tower.”
“It is a very sad state of affairs when an apparition can not move about feely.” She said hoping to lighten his mood.
As she had hoped Antonio smiled, “Indeed. I so wish to thank you for all you’ve done.”
“I have not done enough obviously.” Arabella said. “I will find a way for you and Lord Mayo to be together again.”
“I miss Arthur so much.” Antonio’s form began to fade.
“You are leaving?” Arabella asked. She still had much she wished to discuss.
“I must for I am, at this moment, draining your powers. They are needed for more important things than two old friends gaining the ability to be together again.” With that he completely faded.

Cupcake glanced over and saw Redrum standing by the door. She smiled “Hello Redrum.”
“Cupcake I must speak with you.”
“Well, of course. Is something wrong?”
Redrum smiled, “Lord Mayo wishes to speak with you.”
“With me?” Cupcake was surprised, “Really.”
“Yes, he awaits you at the tree line. He asks that you do not tell the others. It is only you he wishes. Do you understand?”
Cupcake nodded, “Yes, I shall go to him.” She grabbed her shawl by the door and threw it around her shoulders on her way out.
“Cupcake” Redrum’s voice stopped her.
“Yes?”
“He has chosen you over the others.” With those words Redrum turned and walked away.

Lord Mayo stood looking out into the darkness. After Arabella had gone he had felt drained from divulging his secrets yet he acknowledged that a very small flicker of hope had passed through his soul. His Lovelies knew the truth, they knew the monster that was Lord Mayo and yet they still believed in him. He could not fail these women. A sudden movement on the lawn caught his eye. He watched in horror as Cupcake walked towards the shape he could now make out as being that of his brother. He closed his eyes and tried to call out to her with his thoughts but he was still too weak. Artemus, had not feed today, therefore he too was weak. With a sickening realization he knew that Artemus was about to feed. Lord Mayo recoiled in disgust; he did not want the blood of one of his Lovelies to be spilled. Yet, he was powerless. He could not even reach Arabella. He turned away from the window lost in despair.

Cupcake was almost to Lord Mayo when her steps slowed. Redrum’s words echoed in her mind. “He asks that you do not tell the others. It is only you he wishes. He has chosen you over the others” Suddenly it became clear to her. Lord Mayo would not have spoken those words. He did not single Lovelies out in that manner. Redrum had spoken the last line in warning. She stopped and began to turn back when she was roughly grabbed from behind.
“Ah, Cupcake isn’t it?” Artemus’s breath was foul. “It’s so nice to meet one of the Lovelies. I can see why my brother has collected you women.”
Cupcake’s anger overcame her fear, “Lord Mayo did not collect us. We are here of our own accord.”
Artemus laughed, “My brother has always had a way with the ladies. I believe they are attracted to his sensitive side. They are drawn like moth to the flame by his words, his poetry.”
“Let me go.” Cupcake hissed.
“Oh no, lamb. I am going to give you a very special honor. You shall truly mean something to Arthur. Your blood, given to me, will fortify him.”
“Lord Mayo would not wish such a thing.” Cupcake said trying to break Artemus’s hold.
“It matters not what he wants. It is what he shall receive.” He roughly pulled Cupcake to him and pulled her head to the side to bare her neck. Cupcake was ready. She placed her hand on the cross of silver around her neck and pulled the chain breaking the links. Once it was in her hand she threw her arm up and struck Artemus on the forehead. The cross burned into his skin. Artemus howled in pain and fell back, releasing Cupcake. She lifted her skirts and ran for the castle. Artemus readied to give chase but Redrums words stopped him.
“Dawn approaches. You must go.”
Artemus growled, “Stupid wench. I shall have her and all the Lovelies. My brother shall know the taste of their blood. He will feel the pain and fear of his Lovelies.”

elena said...

Mayo

I was away all day so I missed you when you left your post. This morning when I left I felt grounded, I felt connected. Tonight, not so much. Tonight I feel very alone. No, I’m not whining or complaining I’m just stating how I feel. I don’t like this feeling. I don’t want it to be this way. Perhaps your post is the reason.

Really sometimes I feel so ridiculous trying to understand where you’re coming from. I guess I feel this way just because I keep hoping in some way I will be able to say something that will help you. Why? Good question. I suppose because I care about you. You have given me so much and yet I don’t believe I’ve given you anything in return. There are many here you offer you so much more than I ever can. But please just know I do try my hardest.

I’ve read your post a few times and it’s left me feeling sad. To be honest I usually read each post over and over again. This one however, leaves me with an overwhelming feeling of sadness. Your words, to me, sound so very resigned. They sound to me as if you feel things are how they have to be, not how you would like them to be. I hope I’m wrong. I hope I’m totally misinterpreting the post. I don’t want you to feel this way.

“Strength of character”, are you speaking of your own character? Are the first two lines deliberately separated from the rest because of importance? Are they the reason for the rest of the lines? Oh, how my mind can paint so many pictures. Unfortunately all are gray. They are not set in black and white. They have no color. They are bleak.

Mayo, I wish I could find the words that would mean something to you. Hell, I don’t even know if you need my words. I’m being presumptuous. It’s just that I feel like a friend has said something that’s very important and I’m just standing there wanting to answer with the words that will help but I’m at a loss. I am sorry.

Night Mayo

I did not see this until I arrived earlier, but this was you wasn't it Mayonaise? Is this verse written for yourself, or directed to someone else?

No matter, to answer the first two lines regardless of whom it is directed to:

If I could, I would. Without a doubt.

Apologies. The last couple of days I have been feeling sentimental. Despite it only being close to 2 am, I am going to go lurk on my blog and fix something, and then head off for the night.

Goodnight my little jar of Mayonaise.

Sweet and pleasant dreams to you. Remember, the future is never set in stone. You have taught me so much since I came here six months ago, and I don't believe I have thanked you for that. My sincere gratitude and thank yous to you, despite your annoying cryptic ways and constant emotional changes at times(I bet you probably think the same, but that's okay. I said a while ago that you are free to talk crap about me) Even so, I still like you just the way you are.

Be yourself. Always.

Goodnight SS, family, lurkers, anyone else. Love to you.

You're coming across as a bit stubborn in your latest post, Mr. Mayo, and sometimes that's a positive thing, but I hope you don't end up spending the rest of your life being "right" but miserable!

I'm not miserable. It's Friday.

Have a good one!

Didn't you mean STRENGTH (all strong and powerful) of character? I know you have it, no doubt! But, are you happy? I hope so Mayo. I hope you live that happiness, that glorious journey, each & every day! Your's sounds more like a journey of resignation, perhaps with a hint of indignation :( Hopefully, I am wrong.

Lucy: GREAT news about the roof!
A fond farewell to your skylight and waterbed! :p

"Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece—by thought, choice, courage and determination."

Hi everyone, how are you.

The footie result sucked big donkey bollocks.

I was sooooooo sad.

Sorry to disappoint but I haven't seen bikeys banana. While he's been enjpying the delights of London, I've been working and stuff.

I didn't get the job I was interviewed for on Tuesday. It came down to me and the woman who got it. That's was quite an achievement cos loads applied. I got great fedback from the interview which was nice.

To be honest, Getting it would have proven a problem as my heart is really in the teaching course.

I had a meeting with my benefits advisor about that course yesterday. We filled in the paperwork and she recommended it as a good idea. Now it will be passed to her manager and I just have to wait for an answer. I really really want this to happen. It's a lot of money £1,200 but I hope they will fund it.


Well, I am off now to meet my sister. I will catch you all later. Have a great day.

Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear so here is another version.

Me and Bikey met up in London and have been having rampant sex ever since, this is the first time I've been able to catch my breath.

I have to go now cos he's got the fluffy handcuffs out again.

See you later.

Mayo, it was nice of you to stop by last night. I like when things go introspective, quiet, pretty (or not so pretty sometimes). Either way, I learn a thing or two on those nights. Maybe a greater appreciation for the written word.

The Bill Collector Blues

********************************
Time passes so slowly
Stuck in a 6 x 9
If only I could break out
I’d leave this all behind

Phones ringing and keys clicking
Is all I ever get to hear
Is this what I was meant for?
The answer is still unclear

Give me this
Give me that
Do what I ask
And don’t talk back

Why don’t they get it?
Is it that hard to see?
Just ask me nicely
And I’ll try to do as you please

Something for nothing
It’s just not fair
Too bad it’s not that way
In the world of healthcare

Everything has a price
Everyone has to pay
I’ll make sure of it
It’s the highlight of my day.

Do you see what I’ve become?
A bill collector gone mad!
That’s all there is to my life
and it’s pretty effin’ sad.
***********************************

I totally suck. Oh well, back to work!

The animals went in two by two.
A couple of hippos, a pair of gnu,
Two spectacled bears from Lima, Peru
And even, it's said, a push-me-pull-you.

But, right at the back of the very long queue
Stood a herd of wild young caribou.
The bouncers looked angry, 'Hey you, Yes You'
'No stag parties allowed, so off with you, SHOO!'

*nearly trampled by caribou*

Damn! Jeez! Watch where you're going!

*dusts self off*

HEY!

MissT, I knew there was some dirty birdiness in you. You got to see the seat up close and personal. O_O

As far as the outcome of your job interview, maybe it just wasn't meant for you to do that. Maybe you're supposed to be a teacher, and a damn good one you'll be.


I hope we're all doing swell!

Excellent news.

You know how sometimes when you really want something and you're looking for just the right thing, but you're not quite sure how to go about it?

Dude, that thing just fell right into my lap. Right. In. To it.

This is so fucking fantastic.

a coward is someone who post something but then deletes it because they look like an idiot...

which is what you just did...

thats ok, enough of us saw it...;)

I only deleted it because I didn't want to start unnecessary drama, considering that many of you enjoy blowing things out of proportion.

No, Magic Words, I don't agree with that.

If you want something badly enough, and work hard to get it, you will receive.

Just wanting doesn't get anyone anything.

Do you think that, if you want something badly enough you get it?

Nah, I don't think so. This, what just happened to me, was 100% luck.

But, by having it happen to me, it sets me up to make myself work harder than I ever have before, to show them that I can, and will, do this.

This instance aside, you have to be willing to work for whatever it is you want. The world doesn't know you're alive until you scream.

Hello BC,

Love your name, very theatrical and, the pleasures all mine. Mwah!

I think of you want it badly enough...combined with hard work, it comes.

Hello BC *hugs* and siobhan and magic words and Mustard! and anyone else

I am posting and running - work to do.

Anon about deleting comments - I delete comments All of the Time because I'm usu. exhausted when I post and I realize I made no sense or communicated ineffectively somehow - and over the internet its hard to get ideas across succinctly in any case. There is nothing wrong with deleting - whether BC or anyone else does it. *end rant*

Good day to you all :)

Siobhan-san, lol. Magicwords, if I could choose, I'd pretend that my punching bag is an image of Howard Stern or Jimmy Urine(MSI) I don't appreciate pieces of shit like them who degrades women, regardless if it's used for humorous or musical purposes.

I rather kick them in the balls though, but beggars can't be choosers >:)

Pixie, is anything wrong? I'm okay, just enjoying this lovely weather. Thanks.

Kat Von D is a bitch.

when she got fired from Miami ink,
she left a pic of herself for Ami James that had this written on it

"burn in hell Jewbag" xoxo Kat Von D, with a burning swastika

Chris Garver from Miami ink said Kat handed it to him to give to Ami. TLC went to a hand writing analyst and they said it was a 99%match to her hand writing.

Kat is denying all of this, but i think she's full of shit.

Anonymous said...

If that's true, that's a really shitty ass thing she did. Pathetic.

Pixie said...

what a coincidence, anon! I´m watching miamiink right now....

well bc, just the normal thoughts running through my head....

Anonymous said...

I'm not so sure about that, anon!

Kat is of German descent and many people think that all Germans have to be nazis.

It could also be that someone tricked her!

Of course, I don't mind you asking at all!

Now how do I put this....

He was the biggest hypocrite I have EVER experienced.
