If he doesn’t sing this song (“Sunshine”) I think I might cry.
Then again, I’m so tired, I might just wind up crying anyway.

Going to see Josh Rouse tonight.
*I don’t know, I’m thinking this side is bad enough, thanks for the suggestion, tho.
The Herd: “An Elephant Never Forgets”
I am listening to Aussie Hip Hop right now and QUITE enjoying myself.
Big Screen: Inside Man.
Loved it. LOVED IT. Clive Owen = sexy. Denzel Washington = hot. Jodi Foster = does anyone have better calves than Jodi Foster? I dream of having calves like those. Lots of bit players were completely compelling in their roles. Movie was completely engrossing. Fanfuckingtastic. Goooooo Spike.
Someday I will tell you my Spike Lee stories. And you’ll be like dude, you have so many fucking ridiculously stupid stories, how did you ever get to be you. And I’ll blame it on my parents, like I always do. If you knew them, you’d understand.
Plane: The Family Stone.
Uneven. SJP and Claire as sisters? Didn’t buy it. The assorted Stones were pretty believable as a Family. But SJP winding up w/ Owen? Didn’t buy that either. Love Diane Keaton but not here.
Enjoyable enough for wasting 2 hours of a 15 hour flight on, but glad I didn’t pay theater $$ for this one.
Big Screen: Munich
Does it not make your head and your heart hurt thinking how hard one must struggle each and every day AGAINST “an eye for an eye…”? Yes, another legacy from the Bible. Because what does an eye for an eye beget? Hello, another eye. Then another, and afuckingnother, on and on ad nauseam.
Does this ever resolve itself? No. The world just gets stuck in a neverending circle of retribution. Hello Afghanistan. And Iraq. And soon Iran. And Syria. Hellooooooo how does everyone not see how fucked up this is.
Geoffrey Rush is amazing in this. Daniel Craig is wearing really tight jeans. And Eric Bana is hot. Hot like so hot I would lick dirt off his naked body hot. He was also the hottest thing in Troy where Brad Pitt looked like an idiot and Orlando Bloom played a wimp. What he needs to do now is make a hot little romantic comedy that I can buy on DVD and add to my weekly “over and over” viewing list. THEN this world will be right.
Netflix: Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Why would I watch this BEFORE going to Australia? Am I trying to freak myself out? Two hours of foreboding music, disappearances, deaths… And NO conclusions. No mysteries solved. Hello, way to leave me hanging, Peter Weir!
Cable: iRobot.
Man, I love Will Smith. Robots are cool, too. It’s a win-win.
Big screen: 16 Blocks.
This was my second choice but only thing that worked for the timing. Um hello, why isn’t anyone talking about this movie? Totally intense. Bad cop/less bad cop. Bruce Willis is awesome. Mos Def is great even though he has (at least in this movie) possibly one of the most annoying voices on earth. It’s Owen Meany’s voice!
Big screen: V for Vendetta.
A friend’s review was “It’s either the most egotistical film I’ve ever seen. Or the most fantastic.”
My vote: FANTASTIC!!!
There was one speech I got a little sick off. And one very sadistic thing I so was not expecting. But I loved it. Loved it.
