To get this out of the way first:

Say, Bush, you invaded the wrong country and Al Quaida wasn't there until you invaded it.

"SO WHAT?"



Once again, Cenk says it all. I don't even have to add to his commentary.

Well, now that that's off my chest... Today is otherwise lovely! It's raining, and though I wish it were snowing, this will do for now I guess. Once in a while the rain freezes into sleet and makes a cool noise on top of my patio room and the aviary.

Last night in Kung Fu we all had such a great time. We worked really hard in basics class and then in advanced we did locking and trapping and throwing. I'm feeling all stretchy today, also I think I caught a cold but it's not so bad.

As we were closing up the school I asked Sifu when our party was going to be and he said he didn't think we were having one because no one could afford it. This was a MAJOR bummer for me. I told him, "Yeah, I guess I understand. But, let's have one anyway!" and he was like, "Well, okay." In the end we decided that whoever wants to will just meet up for a night out. It probably won't be that many of us. Me, the Empress, Lady Chrysanthemum, Beautiful Boy, Snarklit, and Sifu is my guess. Maybe Scarred Hardcase and Tattooed Sweetheart.

This afternoon I'm going to see TDTESS. It plays at 4:10 around the corner here. I guess I'll go out to the grocery store and get a pint of ice cream for dinner and then head over to the theater.

BLISS, right? :)

Oops, one more thing. Making me both LOL and cringe today, Resident Evil 4 ways to die. It's 8 minutes freaking long!



It's hideous when he gets totally raped by the regenerators! And chopped in half, and run over, and stabbed repeatedly and, like, really graphically. It's kind of hilarious when Luis kills him out of exasperation. And It's AWFUL* when he drowns!














*Kind of hot.

Yeah, kind of hot.

ETA:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, kapunua sent to me...
Twelve animal rights drumming
Eleven iguanas piping
Ten corvids a-leaping
Nine crows dancing
Eight salukis a-milking
Seven birds a-writing
Six herbs a-reading
Five ame-e-e-erican indians
Four young turks
Three human rights
Two star wars
...and an anime in a japanese poetry.

Mild spoilers, nothing you can't figure out for yourself.


Hmmm.

I just think that Klaatu should realize that there is a HUGE difference between "seeing the good side" to a person (or the entire human race) and actually believing that they will change. Everyone says they can change when it's about to end, and maybe they change for a little while until they think the threat is over, but you can't change what is fundamentally there, you just can't.

And seriously, if all Helen had to do was prove to Klaatu that humans had a good side and weren't merely destructive, let's forget about the whole "Oh I miss my dead husband and love my stepkid, watch us mourn together" thing, and instead just have sex with him. I mean if he was moved simply by witnessing something as trite as a cemetery scene, why not just skip over all the syrupy stuff and just bang? He was like, "There is another side to you. I see that now." No, all you saw was that humans are afraid of death, and you obviously already knew that what with the "please don't kill us" thing.

If anyone did the "another side to humans" convincing it was that Chinese dude and John Cleese, and they didn't have sex with him, so.

Helen should have hit that with the fist of an angry god. I mean, first, before doing anything else. Before even trying to reason with him or beg. "That's another side to us humans. Now have some Gatorade and call off your little silver bugs."

That's what I would do. If an alien came down saying he had to destroy humans to save the planet, but maybe not if only he could find something decent about the human experience, and he was all Keanu Reeves looking, I would do that.

I would so do that to save the human race.

The acting was okay, I love John Cleese. The kid was hella frigging annoying, I wanted to slap him out of the script the entire time. jennifer Connelly's always pretty decent and Keanu is, you know, Keanu. He's hit or miss for me and he didn't really have a hell of a lot to do in this film.

One of the best things was that I saw a commercial for The new Resident Evil movie with Leon in it! I nearly screamed! Now on Amazon it says the release date is 12/27, but everywhere else it says the 30th. WTF?! Goddamnit, I want my beautifully rendered, badly scripted fanservice NOW thank you!

Oh, and also this which has nothing to do with the movie:

In 2009, kapunua resolves to...
Connect with my inner broadsword.
Drink four glasses of fanfiction every day.
Lose ten human rights by March.
Start a pele fund.
Give some american indians to charity.
Admit my true feelings to skitty_kitty.

Well, we've already lost lots of human rights over the last eight years; I hope to gain some back instead! And I'm not sure about connecting with a broadsword of any kind. I really will try to drink more fanfiction, I'm sure I won't be givine Native American's to charity (what an American way of thinking! >_<) I wouldn't mind starting a Pele fund, and [livejournal.com profile] skitty_kitty already knows my true feelings: That we are some sort of cosmic twins!


:D
