nsfw jk

I cannot shake this cold, or whatever it is I've got. I probably need an antibiotic but I don't want to go to the doctor. It really sucks not having health insurance.

I watched the Golden Globes last night but only because I love Ricky Gervais. He's a mean little barstid, but he's funny. He got a couple of good jabs in. I believe Hollywood and actors take themselves and their importance to the world a little bit too seriously. I like that he recognized that fact. The only movie I saw out of the bunch they talked about was The Hangover. It was funny but I didn't think it lived up to the hype, maybe I missed the target demographic. I had wanted to see Avatar until I saw James Cameron's acceptance speeches. He's a wanker.

Do you think all great artists are wankers?

The Today Show recapped the festivities this morning...best dressed / worst dressed, etc. Some stylist thought Julia Roberts' look was fab. In a room full of overly made up, plastic people she stood out as someone who didn't give a shit.

I loved Meryl Streep's acceptance speech.

I want to be an optimistic person. At this point in my life I find it pretty hopeless that I will ever be a bubbler. If I wasn't a cynic before, I am certainly one now...but I WAS a cynic before. I think it's in my genes.

I'm afraid you may have the "2010 Plague". I've been fighting it since right after New Years and can't totally shake it. It was pretty ugly at first, now it's mellowed down to just annoying. But, I still can't get rid of it.

Yikes. I guess it's good to know I'm progressing normally but not so good to know it's going to keep hanging on for a while. Hope you get rid of it soon.

aye Captain, we cynics need to stick together. The water pump went out on my car. I had to have a cat scan and stay the nite in the hospt, something going on inside my skull and it aint the smarts dammit.

I hope you feel better. Are you painting?

Sorry you've been feeling bad- get well dangit, just do it!
Sometimes when I'm having a pity party tough love helps.
Did that help?
I hope it helped.

I saw Cameron on Leno one night last week, thought he seemed like an OK guy.

My folks called me from their vacation in the Western Mountain States, said they'd watched Avatar and liked it.

It surprised me that they'd like it, as I don't even plan to go see it. No, not even after their review.
