Yeah yeah yeah so I need to update.
Saw A Good Woman the other day with TheFuckOffGirl. Oddly enough, Lady Windermere was an American woman in Italy rather than a Victorian-era lady as per the Oscar Wilde original play, but the sscript just has so many great Wilde-isms. Fucking fantastic lines.
Today, went to buy a sandwich from a university cafe. They make sandwiches to order if you want one of them. So I'm standing there about to order and one of the women behind the counter is stomping around muttering about how "I'm leaving now, and if you want to talk about me, go right ahead, that's fine, I won't be here to listen and you can say anything you want."
The woman who was about to serve me raised her eyebrows and asked me what I wanted while the angry woman kept stomping around gathering her things.
Fuckinell. If I want temper-tantrum drama, I'll watch Big Brother. I just wanted lunch, OK? Yeesh.
Last thing: Jerry Springer on Michael Parkinson's chat show:
Jerry: It's been frayed, I think the population of Europe and of the world at what George Bush did. I personally am angry at what he did. I don't think he's an evil man, I think that is a caricature that gets put way too far. I don't think he goes to bed at night and thinks how can I screw up the world? How can I hurt America? I mean he's not like that. I think his policies sometimes have not been beneficial. I think starting the war in Iraq was the wrong thing to do. I think Sadaam Hussein was stopped the day before we started bombing Bagdhad. He was an evil man, a horrible man, did horrible things to his people. But the day before we started bombing Bagdhad Sadaam Hussein was stopped. We had the no-fly zones; we had the satellites watching his every move, there were fifteen people in the country looking just like him, running around as disguises because he was afraid to come out of the bunker; we had the inspectors; we had the whole world on our side and we had him stopped. By starting to bomb Bagdhad, it's like taking a bat to a beehive. All of a sudden all hell broke loose and what we have now is another generation of people who are just going to hate us around the world, who are gonna think it was just America trying to tell the world what to do. I think that was harmful. The motive was right but the strategy was wrong, we didn't have to start that war. Afghanistan was right, Iraq was wrong. I admire Tony Blair, even thought I don't like the position he took on the war, because I think he's a man of incredible courage to stand up in a country that clearly didn't want that to happen. So I don't have anything personal bad to say about your Prime Minister. But I think the judgement was wrong, I think the purple fingers that the people in Iraq now is wonderful but the price we paid for that, when it didn't have to be done, is a price we'll be paying for generations.

Sydni has recommended a place, but I've never been there so I'd like to check it out first before we make it your only taste of Seattle. Either way, I'll have something picked out.
