I Got Gas This Morning

Literally as he said the words "America is addicted to oil", I heard Bush's helicoptor pass my house for at least the third time tonight.

8:45 Flies Bush to Capitol
8:50 Leaves Capitol
8:50-9:50 Flies around DC
TBD Flies Bush back to the White House

That man uses more gas than anyone in town. Choppers to the Capitol. Motorcades 20 cars long. Who's going to wean his ass off of oil?

Economics 101

Now I'm no high-falutin' finance guru, but could the reason that Exxon's profits are so high be that they were selling gas at a record high prices? But, but...I thought that was because there was a fuel crisis. Does this mean big business lied to us?

The Second Amendment

For my country cousin.

R.I.P Chris Penn

The better of the two Penns passed away yesterday, leaving behind many opportunities to play bigoted cops to the chubby actors of tomorrow. No, really, I jest. I love Chris Penn and have always thought that he was sorely underappreciated. I had forgotten until today that he played Willard Who Can't Dance in Footloose, but what I didn't know was that he had a guest spot on The Young Riders. I wonder if that is in syndication anywhere?

ETA: Young Riders Season 1 is coming out on DVD on March 21 if anyone wants to buy it for me.

One For The Road

As I prepare to leave my present place of employment, I've been thinking about all the things I will miss. Instant message conversations like this one are not one of them:

[11:18] ACW: i cant reach anyone at [strategic partner located in Chicago]
[11:18] E: today or for a while?
[11:18] ACW: today
[11:18] E: they've only been in an hour - maybe they had a morning meeting
[11:18] ACW: well
[11:18] ACW: maybe i'll try in another hour

You Make Me So Very Happy

It's like a dream come true - the lip-synching Chinese boys have a website, and it's filled with video after glorious video.

BEST. MOVIE. NEWS. EVER.

The Magnum P.I. movie is coming, the Magnum P.I. movie is coming! Who will play Magnum? Who could possibly be as sexy as Tom Selleck?



Oh, the dimples. Oh, the mustache. Oh, the humanity.

How NOT To Act In A Gallery

I'm not allowed to come to openings by myself, because I might do something like this. It's all "Do as I say, not do as I do," eh, BI'75?

* Note red wine being held precariously around the sculpture by not one, but two, people!

Not Boring in '06

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to update my blog more often. Unfortunately, it appears that I have nothing to say! So my new resolution is to not be boring. I should have some very not boring pictures of BI'75, WhinoRhino, Coll and me at Ski Liberty and the Legwarmers show soon (hint, hint, Healy).
