...our governor is a smug piece of shit. Fuck him.

"Schwarzenegger reclined deeply in his chair, lighted an eight-inch cigar and declared himself “perfectly fine,” despite the fiscal debacle and personal heartsickness all around him. “Someone else might walk out of here every day depressed, but I don’t walk out of here depressed,” Schwarzenegger said. Whatever happens, “I will sit down in my Jacuzzi tonight,” he said. “I’m going to lay back with a stogie."

I swear to the almighty god in which I don't even believe, if I ever see the man in person I will unleash such a torrent of vile, obscenity-laden incriminations that even my Haunt friends will blush.

The Link.

Even though I'm on vacation...
...I did this. You should too.

Squirrel!
UP is a beautiful film. In every sense of the word.

"Dear Mr. H:
"This is to notify you that on May 11, 2009, the Board of Trustees took action to adopt the Administrative Law Judge's decision. As a result of that decision, and/or the Board Resolution and notification you received prior to March 15, your services will be terminated at the end of this school year."

Fuck.

So...
...Massachusetts, Iowa, Vermont, Connecticut, and now Maine.

What the fuck, California? Come on! Seriously.

Hehehe...
"That was really confusing."

"Yeah, well, get used to it."

I so love LOST.

Ace of Cakes
I really like this show, but I just realized: Duff hires people who don't open their mouths very much when they speak.

Holy crap!
Mickey Mouse just beat the crap out of one of the Jonas Brothers.

I love South Park.

Irony
So, I'm watching this "Half Ton Man" show on TLC, about a guy who weighs 1000 pounds, and how he eats up to 30,000 calories a day, and that he's bed-ridden, etc.

And one of the first commercial breaks has an ad for the Golden Corral All-You-Can-Eat Dinner Buffet.

*facepalm*

Iron Chef Innuendo
"Which Iron Chef will shudder at the sight of your massive pepper mill?!"

They're not even making a pretense of taking this at all seriously, are they?

^__^

There's a first time for everything.

Yes, those are eggs. Thrown at my poor little car. At school. *sigh*

I guess if someone feels that strongly about me, I must be doing something right. Or maybe they just hate my car.

Colma: The Musical
The city of Colma , CA, is just south of San Francisco, and is locally well-known as the place where (because of the abundance of cemeteries) the dead outnumber the living by about 1000 to 1. I've been there a few times (and been through it tons more).

I saw this movie on Sundance Channel last week, checked out the IMDB listing for it, and thought I'd give it a looksee.

Oh. Em. Gee.

This is one of the nicest little surprises I've found in a long time. Made on a tiny budget of about $20k, it's a musical about 3 friends in their 20s trying to figure out what they want. Maybe my familiarity with the city added to my enjoyment? Maybe, maybe not.

As all the IMDB commenters are dying to tell you, yes the acting isn't quite Oscar-caliber. Yes, the characters are kinda one-dimensional. No, it's not a zombie movie.

It's a full-on musical about living in a podunk little town, not knowing what you want out of life, and being unsure how to go about getting it anyway. But at least there's a new In-n-Out Burger. Next to the Krispy Kreme.

And the songs by H.P. Mendoza are really, really good. Maybe not Ashman-Menken good, but still very much worth your time.

Yes, I already bought the soundtrack.

Musical Interlude
"I was just wondering
how you get home.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Or do you live alone?
I'm going your way
if you're going mine.
No, I feel fine.
But before you go
Let me just pass on one thing:
You got a mission in life,
To hold out your hand
To help the other guy out,
Help your fellow man
That's why I own this bar
They're thirsty outside
I give 'em oceans to drink
And they drown in the tide...."

--Stan Ridgway, "A Mission In Life"

"Vaginal-headed marching band from hell."
Wow. "Christmas on Mars" is a weird frickin movie.

FYI
I now have an iPhone, so my smugness quotient has been upped by about 50%.

Xmas Fun!
I spent the afternoon/evening making stuffed mushrooms and cheesy scalloped potatoes for my family's get-together tomorrow, and I am left with only one question:

Why don't I cook more often?

Crap, I'm old.
I went to get my haircut recently, and, as she was finishing, the lady with the scissors asked me if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed.

My eyebrows. Trimmed.

It appears I'll be rockin' the Mad Scientist look for the rest of my days...
