V for Vendetta is out on DVD now

V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

I am sure we will own this movie at some point, right now, we suspect that they will come out with a special edition DVD, so we are waiting for that. Hugo Weaving was marvelous. Watching the movie in the theater, I laughed, I cried, I thrilled to the horror of a government that had manipulated its people to rule them with fear. And the scary part was it wasn't a fantasy world, this wasn't someplace you've never heard of, it was set in England, in a time not too far from our own. It could be our time. It could happen here. Also, the cinematography is amazing, dark and harsh.

Figured it was time for an update. Things are a little slow at work, so I thought I'd work on this a bit. I'm excited because I'm going to a Reconstructionist event on the 13th in Warren. It's a Libation to Hermes, the Greek God of travel. Reconstructionists research the old pagan religions, like the religion of the Ancient Greeks, the Norse, the Druids, etc, and try to make their personal practice as close to those ways as possible. Gitana does a Greek Reconstructionist ritual every month in Warren. I went to the Libation to Poseidon back in October with Jamie. Everyone was very nice, and I've been wanting to go again, but since I started working weekends, it hasn't been possible. Also, when they are held on weekends Jeff and I are both off, I want to spend that time with him. Anyway, I am glad to get to spend some more time getting to know these people. I really like meeting other Wiccans and Pagans.

I really should try to get some work done now, so I'll end this here. Merry Part and Blessed Be everyone!
