As I was telling, annaclaire, this scene makes me feel like I should be crying.
It almost gets me ... every time!

If you haven't voted yet, do so.

I am watching "Six Degrees of Separation" and one thing (aside from the great dialog) that runs through my head:

Thank God I did not grow up rich or white.

Tonight, I ordered Michael Moore's "Sicko" On Demand.
I am doing this to keep in touch with my Leftist, radikool side mostly because I live in a privileged position.

It was a good purchase.

I will not see my brother or Reno for two days.

Today, I purchased the new Rufus album, "Release The Stars" [yes, finally].
I also bought a copy of "Mambo Italiano" ... for cheap, $5.29. Suh-weet.

Who's excited and has two thumbs?

Last night, I watched "The Nutty Professor." Moral of the story: fat people don't deserve love.

Tonight, I watched "Step Up." Moral of the story: only skinny people get to dance.

Tomorrow, I rejoin the workforce for the first time in six weeks or so.
