So we saw Brokeback Mountain last Sunday. It was awesome. The producers and director did a wonderful job staying true to the original short story by Annie Proulx. I urge you all to go out and see this! If you don't I am soooo telling :)
I am totally addicted to this.
It makes me happy!
Drink it!
It will make you happy! too.

no you won't go blind...
"Did you like spooge on the shower door and forget to rinse it off?" - The wife as she is rinsing something (I'm voting conditioner here) off one of the doors.
"Um..." - Me trying not to choke.
"You had to think about that didn't you!"
"I was just trying to remember if I had done that in this shower yet."
"Uh huh, we have lived here more than a day, I'm voting yes."
Is nothing sacred?

crunch time...
As in being crushed to death with a large, heavy, slab, of Natural Gas.
2550 square feet of home: Pretty f'ing great.
50 year old windows: Not so pretty f'ing great.
2 months of gas bills totalling $750: I need an oxygen mask now.
Becoming a whore on D Street to buy sweaters: Priceless.

and behind this curtain, the review!...
I have been reviewed, my friends out there in the ether :) Let's get a little taste of Teh Blogfather's medicine.

wow, we found our shoes...
I have just been pleasantly surprised. Hell, even very surprised. It's in my profile but I don't know how many of you have noticed that I live in Arkansas. Specifically NW Arkansas. Now granted we have for a very long time been the butt of jokes revolving around hillbillies and kissin' cousins and for very good reasons. Only in the last decade or so have we finally evolved enough to be considered one of the fastest growing areas and states in regards to population, education, and technological industry. Kudos to us! But, there are still large sections of the population, ie: rural population and right-wing jack-asses in corporate clothing, that holds onto their firm beliefs in bible-thumping bigotry and under-educated morality lessons for us poor lost souls who don't have our very own, personal (their idea of) relationship to Jay-sus! It's called a personal relationship for a reason dickweed. Go back to your pew and leave me be.
I do have a point here, bear with me.
Last year I read a short story written by Annie Proulx. If you have not read Brokeback Mountain, I urge you to do so here. It will break your heart if you let it. When I heard that it was being filmed for release last winter I was thrilled if somewhat skeptical that it would reach a wide audience in this country thanks to the current trend to toss us back into the stone-age with regard to equality, life, liberty, and happiness. You know, those ideals that we are not apparently all entitled to according to the what was it? Eleven states, including my own that voted to discriminate against their citizens. Yeah. Real American. Morons. I kept waiting for the release dates to be announced anywhere near me. Waiting, waiting, did i mention the waiting? I was almost resigned to the sad fact that for all our progress some jerks with an agenda would decide that this state was not about to promote such filth and sully it's good name. That good name has a long history of hate and racism of every kind. Anyone remember Orval Faubus?
Well tonight, that wait has finally ended, our local theatres will begin showing the movie on January 20th.
My faith in this state just got a slight boost tonight. May it continue :)
I'm sure Toothy Tile will be proud!

ahhh, welcome to the '06 edition...
I am finally feeling human again! 'Bout time I say :)
Did everyone have a great holiday? A just ok one? Alright, a plain, ole' shitty one? Let me know. Mine was pretty good (even with the four days of porcelain throne worship). I had bruises on the backs of my thighs due to that. I know everyone definitely wanted to know that, which is why I told you. Now, don't you feel special?
Soooo, I have voiced on here a few times my displeasure for our current "administration". It is not unknown to my readers (and all my friends and family since I never hesitate to let them know) that I hold Bush and Co. in less than esteemed regard. More like secretly hoping the earth would open up and swallow them all post-haste! You can just imagine how ecstatic I was to read this. Just one more nail in the coffin to his demise I hope. I have watched for the last 5 years as this asshole degrades public sentiment, pilfers the coffers, supports his cronies regardless of competency and ethics, and lies his way out of everything. I swear the dude is made of teflon. Shit just won't stick to him. Not yet anyway. I have waited to post anything on the issue of Bush authorizing illegal (yes, I firmly believe that breaking a law the constitution specifically outlines to be illegal) wiretapping on all communication between supposed terroristic suspects outside our borders and American citizens simply because there are better and more informed people out there. See: here, here, and here just for starters. I am among a large number of people who would not be surprised to see some of Bush's most vocal opponents on the list of persons ordered to be wiretapped. Why put it past him? Fucker's already proven numerous times he wants nothing less than Dicktator for life (Emphasis mine, obviously).
I know that it is a long shot to get anywhere with the impeachment aspect, at least until the November elections when we can finally boot the Repubs from their cushy seats onto their asses in the street, but we can all do something. I started by signing petitions to my congressmen and women. I also wrote letters to the individual House and Senate reps for my state. Here's where you can find yours and do the same.
Not another lie left unpunished. It's time to take back our country!
