I don't get teary eyed often, but I am just so amazingly happy and optimistic right now! I am actually so hyped right now that my eyes are teary (though the caffeine gum that I got in the mail today can be partly responsible). I truly believe that the election of Obama tonight will send a message to the whole world that we are aware...

The day after tomorrow is Election Day (or Erection Day if you remember those "Truly Tasteless Jokes" books by Blanche Knott in the 1980s). Looks good for Obama, but I hope not so good that people figure they don't need to vote since he's gonna win anyway. That would suck. There was a small election years ago where the only vote cast was by one...

Wow, I am thirty-six years young today. Three years older than Jesus The Christ made it to and nine years longer than Kurdt Cobain.

A special "fuck you" to the creepy fifty-six year old asshole who stood about three inches away from my seat at the Juliana Hatfield show so that he could creepily hit on these two women about my age sitting in the...

NYC tomorrow to see Juliana Hatfield at some bookstore. I have a vague idea how to get to the place so hilarity will likely ensue, since I don't handle getting lost all that well.

I just ate an epic amount of sushi, more than I probably should have. Since I ate a small tomato and a smallish apple all day at work (whilst totally eschewing...

I miss bread. I don't miss cheese or candy or fried foods, but I am missing bread. But I will stay the course.

I saw Oliver Stone's W today. Josh Brolin was amazing as Bush. The whole cast was great, the film moved along well and I would say it was overall good. It does have that Oliver Stone style of dialogue where the characters...

Today is the first day of my new eating regimen. I need to carve off some weight, as I feel like I have bloated up in the last two months or so. This is a terrible time corridor of the year for weight loss, what with Halloween candy, Thanksgiving, and all of December (perhaps the worst eating month of the year), but I need to...

Starting to feel confident that right wing religious republicans may soon not be holding the world at sway. I don't want to jinx it, tho'. Keep Sarah Palin working her "shuchks soccer mom" routine and I am pretty sure it will backfire with the very people it's supposed to impress, who may be mny things, but aren't stupid. I think the Republicans, after eight years...

So, I am watching "Speed Racer" on DVD,..

Did the directors (one of whom is a known trans-interest-if-not-gendered) try to make Christina Ricci (Speed's girlfriend) look like a young Susan Sarandon (Speed's mother)?

If so, ewww..

Do Rap Dudes understand that the movie Scarface (1983 version) isn't meant to be an endorsement of the "gangster" lifestyle (I refuse to spell it so it ends in "A")? I have read many the endorsement by some dude with letters for his name saying how "Scarface like...had to anyalticize his enemies, yo. Mufuc needed to strategerize this game."

PS. Why are vegans allowed to...

Does anyone really believe that McCain in the White House would mean things will change? Or Obama for that matter? Politicians sure like to throw that C-Word around a lot...to no usual avail.

Whose idea was it in the Nineties (and now) to put out soda brand variations? Back in the eighties, you basically had coke, diet coke, pepsi, diet pepsi, 7up, sprite, and dr. pepper as the "A List" sodas (I am from NJ--we don't call it "pop"). Sure, there were B-List sodas (sort of like George Segal was to Burt Reynolds) like Nehi and RC, but...

I actually walked out of a movie yesterday. I made it thru about ten minutes of "The Clone Wars" before I physically started to feel ill. I can't imagine it got better after the opening scenes. It was noisy...VERY VERY noisy. The animation was ugly...VERY VERY ugly. There was so much being thrown at me as a viewer that it felt like my head was...
