I always like the Three Musketeers so I'm tolerating the present here. I watch She's The Man after seeing Channing Tatum in Saturday Night Live.  Time Bandits is part of my Terry Gilliam education. I will watch Groundhog Day every February 2nd.

Wordless Wednesday: Merry Leap Day

I decided to celebrate leap day today and I managed to escape to the nearby museum during lunch time.

I imagine I was travelling using elephant.

6 centuries ago China was selling us porcelain and lacquer items and jade.

The tin we had, we made them into weird looking (impractical) currency. 

Indonesia's bank notes during Japanese occupation were way more awesome than Malaysia.

Since it was raining the whole day, I had Cajun shrimp and garlic bread.


Video Wednesday:I am on my way back to where I started



Lyrics
I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of a man
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand

'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin

We do it over and over and over again
We do it over and over and over again

I know there's California, Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go

I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started

One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls
I hear your name...

I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
You saw me walkin'...

You got a sign on the door and it reads to me
Just like the grass and the sun and the...

I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started

California, Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go

So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
