Went to a free screening of Iron Man tonight; it's quite good, though not quite spectacular. Robert Downey, Jr. however, is absolutely fantastic: funny, entertaining, charismatic, and hot. It's worth seeing the movie just for his performance. And amusingly, the Tony/Pepper relationship is SO Josh/Donna that it was almost disorienting. *g* Anyway, a little slow in places, and too much tech talk for me, but overall a good time.
American Idol tonight: no surprise there. The best part was Simon's phone call, LOL. And Ryan's standing up for Paula's drunkenness last night.
I very often think Tom Friedman is kind of a jerk, but I thought he was totally on target in this editorial about the gas tax. "This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks." Word.
Hillary Clinton challenged Obama to a Lincoln-Douglas style debate. Fox News illustrated this with a graphic of Abraham Lincoln....and Frederick Douglass. A+ in American History, there. Sigh.
Daily Kos slams Larry Niven, with good reason, apparently.
Lesbos residents sue lesbians for using the word. No, really.
Finally:
Dear very far out of town loud pasty classless whitebread family who made my morning train ride absolutely miserable with your inappropriately loud voices, your incessant nattering about topics like spending your tax rebate on a new Xbox (Preznit will be so proud of you), and telling your incredibly loud and obnoxious son to quiet down in a way that was just as loud and obnoxious as he was, and which did not dissuade him at all from being just as loud and obnoxious as his fashion disaster of a mother, all while I'm just trying to get in some extra dozing time on my way to work, because, you know, I WORK AND LIVE HERE,
I hate you.
Signed,
Dia
P.S. Please go home.
