And then I think of the Buffistas who are battling through serious chronic pain (body pain, back pain, frequent migraines - shit!) week after week, month after month, and still functioning: jobs, job crises, taking classes, teaching classes, parenting; and I'm just boggled anew that you manage to do any of it for even one day, let alone months on end, and just utterly fucking helplessly angry that none of the people poking and prodding and scanning you are doing jack shit to give you back your brains and your bodies.
Yeah, right on.
"Right after we saw Brokeback Mountain, my husband said he wanted a divorce, and he's moving in with his best friend. This movie turned him gay! Bad, bad Hollywood!"
Wait, that's not a joke?
This week's This American Life is incredible, about an evangelical pastor who has decided he doesn't believe in hell, and has developed a Doctrine of Inclusion. It's amazing. FYI.
Yes it is. 'Suela, are you all seeing it today?
My head hurts. And not from too much wine. Possiby from the viewing of too many holiday lights.
We are, Kat. Right now I'm catching up on email and avoiding the piles of laundry I need to do, and the whiney dog who needs a good long walk. Soon!
What can I say to that craxy woman other than, "Ride 'em, cowboy!" Boy, if I was married to her, I'd go gay just to get away, you know? :-)
So what you are trying to say is that I should go see the movie without Brendon or risk my happy marriage?
Sure. Cause watching a movie has the power to turn people gay.
If that were true, then why wouldn't the gays turn straight after watching most hollywood schlock?
Straight isn't nearly as catching as gay is, apparently. Did you know that 75% of the housewives in America have caught the gay because of Ellen Degeneres?
Miss Jesse, I'm sending a something for you with Lori. I can't wrap it before she gets on the plane, but you know. It's there for you.
