you're unfunny and untalented -- that's why you're perfect for drama!

I need to keep away from the Kino website, because there are so! many! moovies! that all look so good. Like:

Fallen Angels -- includes a storyline about a boy who stopped speaking after eating a tin of pineapple that was past its expiry date

Sebastiane -- by the same director as Caravaggio, homoerotic and with a score by Brian Eno

Tales from the Gimli Hospital -- it's Canadian and therefore explores the themes dear to our hearts; isolation, aborted passion, secrets, and necrophilia

The Brothers Quay Collection -- freaky stop-motion done by identical twins about the dreamscapes of repressed childhood memories

And there's a new one that's not up on the website but is in the catalogue they sent me, called Junk Food: "In the course of twenty-four hours, a cross-section of today's Tokyo -- including a white-collar junkie, a homesick Mexican wrestler, and a murderous Pakistani -- is followed in a calorie rush of vignettes spooned down with a blend of Japanese techno, Latin hip-hop, and Iranian disco." Have you ever heard anything more wonderful?!? I need to be rich so I can buy all this stuff.

it's YOUR fault i can't talk!!

chenin just posted about JC's Pro-bowl performance being cancelled due to the infamous Tit-Grab.

Apart from my further annoyance at all the stupid reactionary hysterical behaviour from the officials over this one damn incident (how the hell would JC's performance have ANYTHING to do with Janet's and Justin's?), this now means that the JC Psychos will be losing their fucking minds. I am not looking forward to that at all. Dammit.

ben gay...mothballs...letters to the editor! it's the professor!!

Well, Sinead has done all the hard work for us. Nip on over to her journal, collect a few e-mail addresses and telephone numbers, and counteract the media shitstorm of all those puritanical aggrieved people.

hard work made us quit

I know I'm being spammy today. I'm that strange state of having work to do, but also being intensely bored.

In any case, I was so bored I actually ventured onto friendsfriends and found something in liviapenn's journal -- a link to svmadelyn and her idea of Coming Out of the WIP Closet Day. Which I think sounds like a fabulous idea. I have some WsIP that I'm slowly and itchingly working on, but there's this one...I'm halfway in love with it, and I halfway want to burn it up into ashes. Maybe I'll post that one.

Anyhow, it's Friday, if any of you are interested. And I hope a whole bunch of you are.
