I find this intriguing...

Oh geez... oh my.... oh god... I just watched THAT episode of Alias Season 2... if you've seen it, you know the one i'm talking about...

It aired after the Superbowl last year... the one where EVERYTHING changed... the one that just rocked my world.

GOD... how the hell have I not been watching this show first run????

If anyone wants to get me a relatively overpriced Christmas present that would make me love you forever and ever then head on over to eBay and make a bid...

I got an early Christmas present last night. My favorite band ever is Saint Etienne and they just played a couple of UK shows.

No, I didn't fly to London to see them in concert... i wish... but, they gave out cds at the show of three new Christmas songs. And thanks to the magic of the internet, I've got them now.

Lovely...

My friend Richard has suggested that we should all vote on this MarriagePoll.com in order to skew their intentionally skewed poll.

Go ye therefore...

I was just looking at my referral links and followed one back itno my archives and got a good laugh when I read this old post of mine...

I was excited because I had 3 gb of music on my harddrive...

Bwah ha ha...

Geez, I wish I could afford a 40gb iPod to replace my 30gb...

I don't have much time in my life to watch weekly TV shows, so the advent of TV on DVD has been, IMO, one of the greatest things to occur so far in the 21st Century.

The only reason that I've gotten to see 24, Sex in the City, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Alias is because they were released on DVD. Sure, I'm usually a season or two behind, but most of these shows are a hell of a lot more fun to watch in chunks of several hours. I also get to rewatch all of my favorite episodes of Angel and Buffy whenever I want, which is pretty nifty.

Currently, I'm on Episode 3 of Season 2 of Alias. Jesus Christ, I love that show! I'm renting the discs one by one. So, um... if anyone wants to simplify my life a bit by buying me a Christmas present... the box set is the first item on my Wish List.

I'm just saying, that's all....

Suspect Device by Greg Peters is absolutely brilliant this week. This whole episode really pisses me off, but I'm glad the mother has taken such a proactive reaction to the situation. I am rather annoyed that once more the world gets to see Louisianans acting like a bunch of backwoods hicks again though...

I mean, c'mon... isn't California the state we're supposed to be making fun of these days...

I have a little red monkey that lives on the top of my iMac's flatscreen. The other nite he fell off and into the drink I was having while surfing. I wrote a haiku about it...

Tiny red monkey
from flatscreen to cocktail glass.
Happy drunk monkey.

Well, I saw Return of the King this morning... the fastest three hours I've ever spent in my life.

I'm not gonna spoil one thing, but the consensus among everyone I saw it with was that it's everything you want it to be. And I may see it again next Wednesday...

Air... Talkie Walkie...

THERE'S A NEW AIR ALBUM COMING!!!!

and if you liked Moon Safari, you're gonna be oh so happy...

Life is good... I've scored not one, but two, separate passes to see Return of the King two separate times before it opens...

The first is next Wednesday. I'll let ya know how fabulous it is...

HELLBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The trailer is up, yo!

Sturtle started my day off with a nice laugh today...

Jesus Christ... when you haven't blogged in quite a while, it's really difficult to decide what you should blog about...

um... i bought a new phone this week... now if i could just figure out how to use the wireless internet features on it...

and, Thursday nite, I met another New Orleans blogger irl... the guy has some damned sexy arms... and he never seems to stop smiling... but that was probably cuz he was talking to me, right?

oh yeah... i pretty much got my heart stomped on by my now ex-boyfriend who I never told you much about... we'll get to that at some point...

WOW! Way to fucking go, Mr Gaiman! A comic book just made the New York Times bestseller lists!

Awwww... Rush Limbaugh is not having a very good day today...

I hate what our country has happened to our country in the last three years. Our current president has turned a huge budget surplus into what will soon be the largest deficit in the history of our country. He's decimated the fourth amendment. He's turned our government over to big business. He's destroyed our economy, but managed to make the wealthy even wealthier. He's gotten us into a war (and be sure it's not the last one he plans to wage) that has the rest of the world looking at us like we've gone insane. And he lies and lies and lies and we let him get away with it because we never get angry enough to rise up and stop him.

I'm not exaggerating any of this. Do some research. Use Google. Read Big Lies, The Great Unraveling, Lies... and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Bushwhacked, Shrub, Dude, Where's My Country?, and/or Thieves in High Places. Get pissed off. Our country is being run by a president who stole an election. He absolutely does not have your best interests at heart. He is THE MAN.

Until recently, I assumed that we were going to have to suffer through another four years of his presidency, because I didn't really think the Democrats would come up with a viable candidate to challenge him in 2004. I was wrong.

I first heard about General Wesley Clark a few weeks ago. I didn't pay a lot of attention. Then I read an advance copy of Michael Moore's book, Dude, Where's My Country. In the last chapter, Moore makes a powerful argument that Clark is the man who can beat Bush. Now, I tend to think that Michael Moore is a bit of a fruitcake. I love his unabashedly liberal views, but I sometimes question the way he makes his arguments. However, he layed out Clark's views on a series of issues and it demanded my attention. Then I went online and researched Clark some more.

I'm damned excited. Clark is a candidate I can and will be extremely proud to cast my vote for next October. He's pro-choice and doesn't waffle in saying so. He's against the Patriot Act II (remember when I was talking about the fourth amendment? this is what destroyed it). He's for gun control. He's for affirmative action. He's against the war (and he's a four star general). He already has a plan for bringing some economic sanity back to our government. He's pro-enviroment. He has a vision for our country that get me damned excited. He's reclaiming the concept of patriotism from the radical right. And hey... he let a blogger interview him.

Anyways, don't take my word for any of this. Get on the Web and do some research. But, I seriously think that Clark is our best chance to beat Bush in 2004. And I think he can. And, most importantly, I think he could be a truly great president.

So, do some research, and if you agree with me, get involved. It's not too early.

And if you're in Louisiana, for god's sake, go next week and vote against Bobby Jindall for governor!
