*Sigh* I desperately need to be kissed this weekend …
This Weekend!
More Politics
Wow. Those Republicans sure have gotten bitch slapped. They lost Congress. Rummy resigned (and finally admitted that Iraq is a total mess). Now it looks like Bolton won’t be U.N. Ambassador much longer and rumors are flying that closet case Ken Mehlman will be stepping down from his RNC post.

Twin Peaks: Season Two News!
From davisdvd.com comes some exciting news!
Paramount Home Entertainment has finally revealed artwork and a release date for their upcoming and highly anticipated release of the second and final season of “Twin Peaks.” Newly posted listings by several Region 2 online retailers reveal that Twin Peaks: Season Two will be split into two halves, with the first three-disc boxed set due on January 31st, 2007 (happy birthday to me!) and the final half of the series due in April 2007. No official details have been released quite yet, but we do know that the episodes have been completely remastered by David Lynch with new high definition fullscreen transfers and remixed 5.1 tracks (possibly DTS). In the meantime, Amazon Germany has posted for the set.
It also appears, via Amazon Germany, that a Twin Peaks: the Complete Mystery is due in October 2007. Whether this the complete first two seasons combined together – including a high-def remastered pilot episode that was missing from Artisan’s 2001 box set – is as yet unknown. Stay tuned.
dugpa.com is also reporting this and saying that the U.S. release will have a May to June timelime. Maybe at some point there will be a Region 1 release of the original pilot episode. That would make life nice!
Gettin’ “Vista” With It
Hey, Windows users! Looks like the newer version of your super crappy operating system will be available at the end of January 2007. It’s only been 5+ years in the making … right? And notice how that gal looks so serene while enjoying the beautiful view? Something tells me that the average user’s experience with Windows Vista will be far less calm and relaxing.
Post-Election
I really have been resisting the urge to gloat … but I just can’t fight it anymore!
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah … stupid Republicans!
That courrupt fuck Charles Taylor finally got handed his walking papers. Joe Sam is back where he should be. Rumsfeld is outta here (something that should have happened a long, long time ago). And it’s now official that Dems have control of Congress.
Seems like King George over-estimated his power on this one. Yeah. You all got bitch slapped and took a “thumpin’.” Ha!
Wednesday Burn-Out
Even though the Democrats rocked out yesterday (hey … we even got rid of Charles Taylor and got Joe Sam re-elected!), I am in a pretty foul mood today. So, here’s a list of the next 20 from Netflix ’cause I can’t of anything good or overly positive to say.
The Next 20 from Netflix:
01. “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”
02. “King Arthur”
03. “Kalifonia”
04. “The Way of the Gun”
05. “Varsity Blues”
06. “Texas Rangers”
07. “Run Lola Run”
08. “The Sum of All Fears”
09. “Picnic at Hanging Rock”
10. “The Last Wave”
11. “Monkey Business”
12. “Visitor Q”
13. “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark”
14. “The Toxic Avenger”
15. “Death Race 2000”
16. “Blade: Trinity”
17. “Graduation Day”
18. “Sorority House Massacre”
19. “The Boston Strangler”
20. “Scanners”
Down With “Marriage”
So, on the day when voters in eight states are probably going to ban “gay marriage” because it is such a threat to the “sanctity” of marriage between a man and woman, news comes that Britney Spears is filing for divorce from her husband, Kevin Federline. I know … who gives a shit, right? I do. It pisses me off. It’s just another example of how dismissive hetrosexuals are of a right that committed gay couples deserve to have. If marriage is so sacred, then anyone who has been divorced should never be allowed to “marry” again. I don’t remember the vow saying “I take this man until I don’t love him anymore and decide to find someone new.”
Jake Break!
So, to combat election fatigue, here’s a picture of Jake!
Go Vote!
It’s election day, folks … so get out there and do your part. Especially get out and vote if you live in Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wisconsin … states in which religious conservatives seek to treat you or your relatives/friends/neighboors as second class citizens. Apathy is no excuse! If you don’t vote, you are part of the problem. We can affect change (get those Republican fucks out of office) but only if YOU make the effort. Your vote does count!
Three Afternoon Statements
1. I need a nap.
2. I need some ice cream (chocolate chip cookie dough, please).
3. I need the night off.
Monday Randomness
Weekend:
Ah, yes. Back at work to get some rest. The weekend was busy and all that jazz. Did the show. Drank some punch. Cleaned the home office (some). Got all uppity. Got all depressed. Watched some movies. Worked on some freelance stuff. Finally bought “We Are Glitter.” Spent all of yesterday “out” and it was really, really nice.
Some Movies:
Finally got to see the movie version of “Closer” this past weekend. I directed the play a couple of years ago at a friend’s theater space in Asheville. I really like the show ’cause it’s a dark and intense look at the romantic trials of some fundamentally damaged people. But … the movie! I must say that I really disliked it. The intimacy of the piece gets totally lost in all “bigness” of it being on film. The character that dies in the play walks off into the sunset at the end of the movie. AND … most tragically … Julie Roberts (that hack of an actress) is in it. I say, “Skip it!”
“Orgazmo” … what a strange little movie. Considering the film is about straight porn there was hardly any female T&A and a lot of naked male asses and dildos flying around everywhere … which made the movie kinda gay. Had it’s moments of fun … but they were a little too spaced out.
Coming Soon:
The River District Artist’s Studio Stroll is this coming weekend in Asheville. So, if you like running around and looking at lots of art … get there … ’cause it’s cool.
In Other News:
I have had waaaaaaaaaay too many donuts this morning. Mmmmm … chocolate-covered and cream-filled! Yea!
Week-ity-Weekend
Yea! It’s here! After the dinged-ole-danged-ole drudgery of week, this weekend should (hopefully) prove to be fun, fun and more fun. I have some plans afoot and hopefully they will pan out. If so, I am gonna be the smiling-ist boy on the planet. (Vague enough for ya?)
And now … a rock opera of Kafka’s “Metamorphosis.”
