Spoilt?

With the prevalence of porn of all varieties, are we spoilt by it all?  It is so easy to locate pictures, videos and other content of a pornographic nature on the Web.  Given this mass of stuff available to us on demand, have we lost an appreciation for hidden beauty.  It is almost as if the person we see is clothed then it isn’t good enough anymore.  I was watching "Batman Begins" again on Sunday and was looking at Katie Holmes wondering if there are nude pictures of her on the Web.  Part of me was thinking that the imagery of her clothed was really just a taste of what could be obtained on the Web and for that moment I lacked an appreciation for her as she was presented on screen … clothed.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are married!

Interesting news: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are married.  They did the deed on Thursday and Garner is apparently pregnant too!  According to Yahoo! News -

After months of speculation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have tied the knot - and she is pregnant.

Representatives for both actors confirmed the marriage on Thursday. Their publicists, Ken Sunshine and Nicole King, also confirmed that Garner was pregnant with her first child.

Us Weekly reported that Affleck, 32, and Garner, 33, were wed on Wednesday at the Parrot Cay resort in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos.

The National Enquirer also released photos it claimed showed Garner arriving on the islands with her Alias co-star Victor Garber.

In stark contrast to Affleck’s much-publicised relationship with Jennifer Lopez, he and Garner have been tight-lipped about their romance. Aside from appearing at a Boston Red Sox baseball game last year, they have stayed out of the public eye.

Reports in April about an engagement were never confirmed. In May, E! News reported that Garner was pregnant and the baby was due in November, but neither star confirmed that.

This is the first marriage for Affleck and the second for Garner, who divorced actor Scott Foley in March 2004 after three-and-a-half years of marriage.

With that I am going to be like a tree and leaf …

Exhaustion

The last few weeks have been pretty intense.  Even though I have now resigned, I feel utterly exhausted and this exhaustion seems to go right through me.  It is as if all the stress and anxiety and emotional exhaustion have finally hit me now that the adrenalin rush is over.  I am looking forward to a decent break this weekend before the rush to hand my files over starts next week.
