Oops... sorry the site was down for a couple of days because I managed to crash HomeSite just as I was saving it. Anyway, you didn't miss much apart from a link to this guy's photos from the so-called 'Global Day of Action' rallies that happened in San Francisco this weekend. Now you all know how much I love democracy, but I gotta say, a lot of these "protestors" are nothing but misguided wankers. Some of the photos are funny, some have some amusing captions, however a lot of them are just plain scary. And for once, I'm not merely Liberal-bashing, there's some really disturbing propaganda here is all.

Yesterday was a perfect day for a drive in the Santa Cruz mountains. Here's a photo of me looking mean against my car (caution - large image). Thanks to Jared!

Tonight I finally got to see The Passion of the Christ. I don't have a problem with violent movies, in fact I own and enjoy many. I was also aware of the amount of violence to expect in Mel Gibson's controversial new film. But really it was way too much. I found the amount of gore excessive and almost distasteful, and I think it detracted from any message the movie was trying to convey. There's very little spirit there, very little in the way of humanity, and hey, I thought this Jesus fellow was supposed to be full of that. In the end, The Passion turned out to be quite an ugly movie, and made me feel a little uneasy.

Still having trouble with your pronounciation? (that's pronounced pronUNciation, not pronOUNCiation of course)

I've been trotting down memory lane recently by watching the first two seasons of Rumpole of The Bailey on DVD. Rumpole was a fantastic British drama that ran from the late '70s to the early '90s, starring the incomparable Leo McKern as high court barrister Horace Rumpole. Every episode is a joy, full of humor and intrigue. No special effects, no cheesey endings, just pure, well-written drama by John Mortimer.

So Martha Stewart is most likely going to prison, and of course, that's not in the least bit hilarious... So I was thinking of all the potential books she could write while incarcerated: Martha's Guide to Slopping Out, From Martha's Cell, Accessorizing For Small Spaces, and of course, Cooking in Prison. I think she'll do just fine in there.

This had me laughing today - Rap Lyrics Translated. "I enjoy playing my music loudly on my car stereo. Apparently, women enjoy this also because they become sexually aroused when they see me driving." Classic stuff.
