I am inexplicably grumpy and melancholy today, am hoping the Awareness Through Movement class tonight will help rectify this. Usually I'm downright giddy on a full moon, but not this month. Weird.

Just heard from my friendly neighborhood Honda dealer that they've got two 2005 Civic hybrids for $18K, they usually go for about $21K. The downside is I'd have to buy immediately and I probably wouldn't get the color I wanted. Still, that's awfully tempting...

Ok, new best icon ever

Below the radar

Genocide in Darfur, what are we doing about it? Or more precisely, what can we all do? How about a quick note to your Senator? I'm off to write mine now.

A true test of willpower

I defy anyone to make it through namaah_darling's "Catwoman" review without bursting out laughing. It has taken all my reserve and self control to manage not to embarass myself in front of my coworkers so far. Just a taste to get you started:

Catwoman was not improved by the addition of Benjamin Bratt as "hunky" cop Tom Lone. If there is any justice, he will be punished lengthily in Purgatory for his stupid portrayal of a stupid character. However, since he dated Julia Roberts for four or five years, we may count it as time served. At any rate, the addition of his strained, leathery face did not improve matters.

Part of this is the fault of the script. It leaped from cliché to cliché like a corner-pooping cat desperately fleeing a well-deserved beating.
[...]
Cats can shoot mean hoops, too. In a scene genuinely less interesting than the backdrop to a muted Jessica Simpson video, Patience plays basketball with cleverly-named love interest Tom, and together they prove that there are no likeable characters in the movie. As Sargon said, "this scene is only slightly less interesting than the teeter-totter fight in Daredevil . . . it's like watching retarded people flirt."
[...]
Her outfit alone is worthy of an entry in the "What the Bleeding Hamster Fuck" hall of fame (in Peoria, IL). It looks like it was assembled from secondhand descriptions of fetish outfits by sweatshop child labor. Children who have lost fingers to giant, carnivorous parrots.

There's more, oh so much more, but go read it yourself.
