  • Patty leaves today. I'm super busy. Talk amongst yourselves.

  • Yeah, I totally booked a little spa thing for us at the St. Davids last night. Hahahahahahahaah. I know.

  • As breast cancer treatments get more effective, mammograms may be less helpful. This and the choices that go with it is the sort of stuff that keeps me awake at night.

  • You should read [livejournal.com profile] reannon's morning random today for her coverage of the impending execution of Teresa Lewis, a woman living with a mental disability. You should know I oppose the death penalty, because even if we can agree there are some crimes people should die for, it's not a business I want my government in. This case is one example of why.

  • [livejournal.com profile] eredien wrote a really long post that expands on what I was trying to say the other day about the lack of queer representation in media and how it's a legitimate part of whether or not I respond to an entertainment property with interest. I'm still really upset about that entire situation, btw, but so it goes. Let's have some Covert Affairs fandom, right here!

  • I may have cadged the ticket I want to the Paley Center thing, in a standby sort of way, which makes me wonder just how early I should get on that line -- it's a fine line between effective and crazy. But I'm not even sure of this much yet.

  • There's this random sentence in the Pam Cook book, that while making perfect sense, sort of comes out of nowhere and immediately recedes back to same. I assume there may have been another tangent that came off of it that then went away in editing, such that the sentence just hangs there:
    "... cinemas as illusion, and the construction of imaginary worlds into which one could escape without being incarcerated."
    Um, is that generally a concern with imaginary worlds? Also, could an Aussie tell me if incarceration implies prison or mental-health related hospitalization more in your English? Is this the author's version of referencing Snape's Wives?

  • Everything is performance, maybe: Stephen Colbert will be testifying before Congress, on a serious issue, and some are claiming it will happen in character.

  • Has anyone seen Catfish? Do I need to care? Or is this just another installment in this year's on-the-Internet-no-one-knows-you're-a-dog there's-no-such-thing-as-the-truth movie meme?

  • There is way too much video porn and shoe shopping spam on LJ today. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much. LJ is also being somewhat uneven with comment delivery today.

  • This may be more of a challenge than I'm up for and not really my format (short is not my forte) or medium, but I'm still very tempted.
  • yes!

    Stricly Ballroom to become a stage musical.

    Man, I've been waiting for that rumour to go somewhere for YEARS.

    (also if the Gatsby project turns out to be true, I will be delightfully beside myself -- although god knows what any Aussie pub means when they say US-based: could mean filmed here (which I doubt) or just that Fox is handing the money around again).
