If you had to write your autobiography in 6 words, what would you write?

Birth. School. Work. Death.
Beat That!
I woke up this morning to some drunken gheys sleeping one off in our living room. This is kinda par for the course for our house. It has been essentially a flophouse for the past year, and we've had an uneasy feeling about it.
I've put up with a great deal. One night someone threw up in the sink, which has a full set of dishes in it. I had to do the dishes so Laurna didn't see it. There was the night we almost called the cops on a guy who was convinced that our roommate was home, and tried to break into his room. Someone had some kind of accident in the bathroom that resulted in the toilet lid cover being torn off. And don't get me started about Pride....
Well, I've kind of mellowed on the whole thing because Charles is learning, the hard way, about people who live in the Gay Community down here. It's gotten better, or so I'd thought.
Well, the guys this morning got on Laurna's bad side. Let me tell you. That is really really hard to do. I know of very few things you can do to do this. They did it.
Show us your gorgeous eyes.

no.
Okay there are stupid films and then there are stupid films.
Legally Blonde. It's a stupid film. It's funny, and I like watching it, but I know I should be a little ashamed, except it's got Selma Blair in it, and I have a crush.
Showgirls. Yeah, dumb on a spectacular level, but everyone in the cast and crew knew except for Elizabeth Berkeley, and that makes it SO much better.
This film, however: I have never had a trailer for a film make me want to practice euthanasia on an entire species.
Here is the trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua. I have watched it 3 times now. The first time because, well, I seriously couldn't believe that the film existed. The second time because when I woke up, and tasted the vomit in my mouth, I wanted to find out why. The third time was Saturday, as an experiment to see if I should be as offended as I am.
This could be the movie that sets me over the edge. I mean seriously, I can put up with a lot of vapid shit in our society but PLEASE!
I cant even snark, because dissecting something this is not worth taking the time to do. I shouldn't even be writing this post to describe the mind-altering sense of rage I feel about this film except that I am hoping that somebody somewhere will read it, recognize something in it that resonates, and will KILL EVERY MOTHERFUCKER RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS FILM.
That's right, I am using my first ammendment rights to advocate right now the execution of the people responsible for this tripe. Writers, director, producers, actors, hell even the people who work tech support on the machines responsible for the CGI. If you gave someone a sadwich while they were pitching this shit, you need to die.
Ah, hell. Who am I kidding. This will probably win an oscar for best Song.
Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you ever seen one?
I lived in a small mining town called San Manual, in Arizona when I was a young kid. It was 45 minutes away from the nearest city, and at night, you could see the whole sky. It's got a lot more stars than you would imagine.
Sometimes my parents would drive us into Tucson to see movies. On one of those nights, my brother and I were sitting in the back of our car, which was some kind of hatchback. We were staring up at the sky, and talking about the constellations. About 15 minutes outside of San Manual, we saw a flash in one of the constellations, and a new light joined it.
That light tailed our car for 5-8 minutes before it flashed and went away.
I know it's not a ghost story, but it was weird. I became very interested in UFO's after that.
I am SO looking forward to reading this book. I am getting it next week.This means I will be finishing this book this week.
In truth he was held in extra-ordinarily high regard by his peers, and was front and center in many of the decisions made. Case in point: In the third episode, The story leaves him stranded in Europe and floundering. In fact, he came back to Massachusetts wrote their constitution. What makes this remarkable is that this constitution was later used as the model for the Federal constitution.
That's right: In a year off from Europe, John Adams came home and modeled our government. That, however, doesn't fit the narrative the producers wanted to portray.
I have a copy, it will be free this weekend if anyone wants to borrow it.
When was the last time you drove out of town?
In December, Laurna and I drove out to New Mexico to visit my Mom, who had relocated to Albuquerque. It was a lot of fun for two reasons.
The first was that we rented a Prius. Both of us were curious about the car. I have likes and dislikes about it. It gets really good gas mileage. However the batteries make it a zero sum gain. It was also kind of amusing that car makes no noise when it starts up, so a couple of times at the beginning of th trip, we accidentally turned the car on and off a couple of times. Also we had to honk at some people who didn't know we were behind them.
My mom lives with her sisters in a 3 bedroom house on the outskirts of Albuquerque. It's very "Golden Girls."
Mom loves Laurna, and my Aunts are really charmed. It was a lot of fun.
What is your definition of cheating?
I think when Kate says this, she mean's "Until you accept that Aaron is your nephew".
What a fucked up family.
What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?
Oh, it's earth day again isn't it?
You know, once i read about the 160 mile section of the Antarctic shelf that fell into the ocean last month. I realized it's kinda hopeless.
Everything we think is going to happen because of climate change will happen. It might even happen in my lifetime. It's only a horrible thing if you think of it in terms of the destruction of human life, and the current way our society deals with it.
Life will continue in some form or fashion. The amazing thing about evolution is that some creature we haven't even seen yet will rise out of our ashes.
We just might not have Pandas, or California Condors. Hell, our planet might be covered in some kind of toxic algae that can only be eaten by mutant midges, but it's life. And who knows, the intelligent life that comes out of that spawning might stand a better chance than us. We're too fragile and dependent on our environment. We are also 6 billion of a species that somehow believes that the individual is more important than the group. If we were ants, we would have been annihilated epochs ago.
For my own part. I don't eat as much red meat. In fact I make it a special occasion meal. This does two things. It means I am using less of our natural resources to feed myself, and it will possibly keep me alive longer.
