is this it?

i was disheartened for most of yesterday, even though the election results were about what i'd expected. i'd still dared to hope.

not that kerry would have fixed everything. but at least having him in office would mean that people were voting for change. the idea that half the U.S. wants things to go on as they are is more depressing than i can say.

things are going to get worse. it's his last term now, and he'll aggressively pursue the mandate of the triumvirate (that's cheney, ashcroft, and rove) with no worries about public approval or re-election.

on the bright side, it's a great time to be an artist. there's a lot to be angry about. anger, discontent, desire for change fuels some of the best art, especially in music.

but i don't feel much like singing these days...

silly, fun, kinda interesting cinematic effects; paced like a videogame. The Rock is a decent comic actor as well as credible action hero. cool fighting scenes.

in spite of some good performances, i couldn't get over the condescending tone. it's a classic case of straight guy pretending to be gay, getting the girl and a better job, and safely being able to declare that he's straight - and escaping thr real problems of homophobia. left me feeling a little icky.

lulu gave me this book. it's magical. set in a fantasy industrial age new york city, suffused with mythology.

a great game. scary. i can't play it unless jesse's home. even then it's hard. i make him play it so i can cower behind the blanket and tell him to watch out for the bad guys. yeah, i'm that much of a wimp.
