agenda
tomorrow, i’ll be making an appearance at the Bigger Rd Veterinary Clinic, and then it’s off to see V for Vendetta! wheeeeee!!!
installed a ton of new plugins for my WordPress. still have to get Gravatars, Ultimate Tag Warrior, and In-Series installed. those ‘uns are too heavy to lift at the moment.
Jackie Corley‘s manuscript for At the Slaughter is fantastic so far. everything that made the earlier drafts i’ve read so damn good, and more. when you see it in the bookstores, PICK IT UP. it’s so heavy, and yet such a fun read. a wonderfully tragic story about a wonderfully tragic character. i’m only a little ways through, though. must read more tomorrow, and also figure out how to get networking fixed so i can print it out and read it at work.

Brokeback Mountain fiasco
so some theatre in Utah canceled Brokeback Mountain.
i don’t even have anything to say about that. i just can’t believe that in 2006, people are STILL so uptight about sex.
we’d rather see violence and other acts of hate than acts of love, generally speaking, and the portrayal of a brave act of socially unacceptable love (remember, it’s a PERIOD piece), in a work of beautifully tragic art, is being kicked around, probably for some bulldada “moral” reason.
come on! seriously, if anyone on my friends list seriously has a problem with this film, please just go ahead and defriend me now. anyone that shitty is beyond reasoning with.

Xmas with the Crunks
for X-mas, Holly got me:
- Run Lola Run
- a wonderful, stylish German film about parallel time and choices
- Harold and Maude
- the greatest love story ever told on film; very offbeat and with masterful editing/pacing
- Do The Right Thing
- there is almost no need for any further investigation into morality and the human condition after this film
- Holly noted that the famous pivotal scene in which Mookie throws the garbage can through Sal’s shop window was an act of salvation; in doing so, he may have saved Sal’s life
- RADIO RAHEEM LIVES!!!
three of my favorite films of all time!!!
and gorgeous, sweet little teenytiny Speck, the wonderdog! part Chihuahua, part Jack Russell Terrier, and all playtime fun!
we’re going to watch Godzilla: Final Wars in a bit.
it’s a wonderful life.
