Syriana, & The Girl's Health

Syriana...

Wow. Just, Wow.

What an
important movie. But yet,

What a
boring movie.

It’s very important in that it deals with big corporations being in bed with government, and the “illusions” of justice & whatnot that they promote in order to do the dastardly things they do. But some characters are so superfluous, only there to put big names in (why the hell is
George Clooney important again?). And generally, there’s no connection to any one of them, even the non-superfluous ones. It does tie all the government & Big Businessaction together with possibly the largest conspiracy/collusion of politics, business, and intelligence that exists, within the worldwide oil industry. Very important movie, yet, somehow, so very boring.

Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah!
I wrote it, about 4 sentences ago! Bottom line? You should probably see it. Even though you won't enjoy it. C+



The Girl is Sick
This morning, The Girl wakes up shortly before she has to get up to get ready for school, and says “I don’t feel good.” Well that sucks! Now get out of my bed!

Seriously. I haven’t been sick since we moved up here, save for a morning or two I woke up with a scratchy throat. I have no intention of falling ill, sorry. Get out of my bed! I order you! I
Command you! I Emplore you! Do it! Do it now!

But of course she did not. We fell asleep, maybe some 10 seconds later, but it was a harrowing, tense 10-second standoff until then. Before we fell asleep huddled up together for warmth. Believe me, you could feel the tension.

Peace.
