So I’ve gotten two calls from Bill Clinton, one from Jesse Jackson and one from Chris Rock. Most amusingly, they had to bleep Chris Rock in his. Y’know, I’m almost glad I’m not an undecided voter, because this almost annoys the crap out of me. Funniest was my friend Matt who sent me one they got in Maine from Stephen King, telling them that the scariest thing was what the Republicans want to do to the country, and oh yeah, congrats to the Red Sox.
I don’t even know why we’re even bothering to have an election, though. Green Bay beat Washington, so Bush is out. After 16 elections, let’s not break the streak. Of course, I’m hoping that all the good mojo wasn’t used up by the Red Sox, because seriously, we need to have priorities.
Things I’ve wanted to talk about but have forgotten about…
UNTIL NOW!
-I’m a total nerd and I enjoy watching both “Desperate Housewives” and “Boston Legal.” I really enjoy James Spader’s character on Boston Legal, the delightfully crazy and amoral Alan Shore, whom I’m guessing was on the last season of the Practice. Like Leela says of Bender on “Futurama,” I like his “in your face” attitude. I aspire to his quick witted, fearless sharp tongue.
-What the fuck is it with musicians lately who put out a greatest hits album, but put a single on it that’s a cover of some 80s song? Marilyn Manson, Korn, Britney Spears. Granted, not the greatest line-up, but it irks me.
-I’m vastly amused the the “Seed of Chucky” movie trailer has a scene where he’s driving a hummer and runs a blonde, pop star looking girl off the road, and when her car explodes in the ditch he goes “Whoops, I did it again.” Then apparently, the lawyers got involved, and now all the trailers have to say “Britney Spears does not appear in this film.” Oh yeah, because that’s what people are thinking.
So yeah, that’s that.
Fingers crossed tomorrow people, fingers crossed.
Like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus (where all winter long, the grasshopper buried acorns and the octopus just mooched off his girlfriend, but then the grasshopper died and the octopus got all of his nuts [and he also got a race car]), I remain…

Suggy,
That’s hysterical. :) I think everyone is targeting me because I’m a registered Democrat, and thus I’m off Arnold’s radar.

I noticed that too about the trailer. At this point in her “career”, a loose term btw, she really doesnt need to worry about Chucky dragging her down.
As much as I like Boston Legal, i hate the choppy way its filmed. Seems very home movie-ish to me.

YWN,
Yeah, I really hated how they kept having the crazy, choppy jazz music going on with every single scene change. It can be a little irritating.
