a film about the mussel

The mussel. Would you ever consider it to be a main character in a film? I definitely wouldn't. And still, yesterday evening I went to the premiere of one of the more intriguing documentaries I've ever seen.L'Amour des Mouleswas about exactly that: the mussel.
The mussel's shell is a blueish-black, the inside of it shines. It lives, breathes, survives, joins arms with peers against forces of nature or mankind. It is coveted, protected and adored. Today, I am still thinking about the mussel film, and about the people portrayed in it who's lives are moulded by the mussel. About the way the film was shot. The music.
A band performed after the film. A tiny, skinny girl with big hair got up on stage. She looked a little silly. You'd think she'd be shy. You'd think she'd never do a thing like get up on stage. And she couldn't sing to save her life. I don't know whether she was aware of this fact or not, but the thing is: it didn't matter. She was vibrant, laughing and confident. She gave it all she had.
I like going to festivals and performances. I am always reminded that it doesn't matter what you do or how, as long as you do it with conviction. It's this conviction that speaks to people. And sometimes this conviction leads to works of timeless beauty. To a film about the mussel.

However, it not a Tweedy or Wilco original. Rather, it his very own Tweedyrific cover version of the Black Eyed Peas Got a Feeling. I truly believe that if you got a feeling and if the one you like/love has a sense of humor AND/OR a thing for the Peas or for Tweedy then sending this video on to her is a good thing for your sex life..

It works well and it is not operated as a loss to the people of Devon. On that basis I can assure them that the council is responsible with their money.. [url=www.ukcheapshirts.com/]cheap football shirts[/url]
Stout, who is also a paramedic, trained the officers from the three agencies. The kits and the training have proven so valuable that Stout is now being called by police agencies across the country to help them set up trauma kit programs.

The last time they met was in the first leg and Madrid went down 21 but is on a good position because of the goal they got in the Allianz Arena in Munich. Now the Madridista's must win 10 and advance on the away goal, or they could win 20 but if they win 21 they will go to extra time and maybe penalties. Since real Madrid are favorites to win the match after their win against Barcelona, I will have to say that Chelsea and Barca will be a tough fight in the Camp Nou, but Barcelona are also favorites to win.
