rmEmail subject lines that scare me before noon and probably after: "Badger badger badger Aragorn!"
Television that scares me: Meant to watch the latest HH disc from Netflix last night. Somehow, instead, was mesmerized by the astounding bizarreness that is The Surreal Life on VH1. This is not a way to reclaim your fame kids.
I can't find my jazz shoes! And I need non-heeled non-street shoes for this class. Argh.
Presuming the Germans do get the airplane ticket into my hands in time, this week is going to involve a lot of sucky chaos revolving around getting my passport.
Please, please let my riding pants get here tomorrow and please please let them leave the package or let someone be here to get them, because I have no idea how I will live through my lesson on Tuesday without them.
I don't agree or disagree with this in its entirety, but I totally get it: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/12/magazine/12WWLN.html -- Tragedy to Policy, on being "over" 9/11.
Meanwhile, Colin Powell has some words for the neo-cons -- most notably: "fucking crazies". http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1302834,00.html via![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
folk. Poor Colin Powell -- if there was ever a guy who got screwed over and over again for trying to do right by his party, it's him. Maybe he should go hang out with the Log Cabin Republicans.
Finally, and I keep forgetting to write about this, but I saw the preview for Alexander the Second time I went to see Vanity Fair. I know that I'm perhaps excessively intvested in this whole thing in all sorts of conflicting ways (hi, I've read the Mary Renault books, I liked the Mary Renault books, so why am I being a bitch about Alexander fanfic?) -- but oh my god... the hair design in this film is so bad... so so so bad. Like, barbie dolls were scalped to make these wigs. I expect to have intense quibbles with Oliver Stone films as a rule, especially on subjects I'm knowledgeable on... but I don't expect him to fuck up a simple yet critical design element. Ugh. It was painful. Also, did every single clip have to involve Collin Farrel baring his teeth?

Date: 2004-09-12 01:25 pm (UTC)I completely agree with the article and would even go a bit further. I can very much see anyone who lost a friend or loved one, or in fact anyone who lived or worked in Manhattan at the time not being over 9/11, but it seems both sad and deeply unhealthy that many people in the rest of the US, who may never have even visited NYC, are still hanging onto it so tightly and that's it's still such a useful tool for manipulating a large number of Americans. Then again, even on that day, when I was still in shock from hearing about it, my greatest fear had nothing to do with further terrorist acts, I feared our mad government's response.
