Viva myself!

Someone (I can't remember who) told me that my blog posts are incredibly random and I have a chronic inability to stay on one topic for more than a few sentences. This is true. But at the same time, it's really hard to do unless I wish to rant on a single subject--and to be honest, I did that for a while, and now I have actually RUN OUT OF THINGS TO RANT ABOUT. I never thought the day would come, but it did, and that's why I stopped posting for a while.

Anyways. Basically, the purpose of having a blog has stopped being "entertain other people" and is instead "ramble about life". And life, unfortunately, is so dull that I have to glean little bits and pieces from all over the place. Also, most of you guys spend too many waking hours with me, which means there's a pretty large number of things I can't write about because you were all THERE. This is clearly an epic failure on your part.

And hey, that was two paragraphs on the same subject! Viva myself!

Also, we are starting a new novel in Spanish and it's about Cuba and I am already upset because someone is named Pilar, which is just not an attractive name. I think of it as the Spanish equivalent of Bertha. And it's about Cuba. We've already watched a fatty documentary on Cuba and it is not that important and I really think the US needs to stop having spasms of sulky rage over it.

Clearly, what I have spasms of sulky rage over is so much more mature. I've started throwing tantrums over Arthurian legend, which in case you didn't know or care is fucking depressing. It's all roses and sparkles and shiny swords, and then FOR NO APPARENT REASON everything goes to hell. Merlin goes and gets himself stuck in a cave for all eternity, Arthur goes and gets himself stuck asleep for all eternity, and basically the rest of the poor schmucks are left with the small hope that Arthur will come back when Britain needs him most. Which won't be before they're all dead. As for Merlin, we have to assume that he eats crabs for the rest of his life and is responsible for global warming.

Speaking of global warming, I'm really glad the fuss over An Inconvenient Truth has died down, because when I finally saw it, it was actually a letdown and the fact that it won an Oscar...Well. I remember back in 2000 the only reason I supported Al Gore over Bush was because he was better looking. Sad how much things can change in 8 years.

I somehow got to Youtube videos of the American Idol Davids singing their respective Andrew Lloyd Webber songs. It was more depressing than An Inconvenient Truth. Actually, I'd sort of expected more from the David who won, but his rendition of "Music of the Night" was TERRIBLE.

So of course, to cleanse my brain I went directly to....Village People. And. Well. You guys need to all see "In the Navy". It is more magical than I could have possibly imagined. Not that it tops JPop, but it's still pretty damn magical.
