Just watched a bowdlerised Scarface. I'm not entirely sure why some people idolise the character. He's an unthinking brute whose comeuppance is written in his every move. And then I made the mistake of reading the imdb comments. You'd think I'd know by now. People==freaky.

DH watches this whenever it's on tv--even though he bitches the whole time about how horrible the editing for tv is. The character really disturbs me--and that's without thinking that some people idolize him.

I NEVER read IMDB comments.

At least I didn't get asked to look at my sister's tits in a bar this year.

Heh -- I did!

(Well, not your sister. My sis was emceeing a variety show in a bar with a stage at the back this fall, and the night I was there was The Night Of The Very Loud Drunks, to the point where those of us there to see the show couldn't hear a damn thing. About halfway through, she came out onstage, visibly pissed as hell, and shouted "I'LL FLASH MY TITS IF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP." And she did. And there was a moment of blessed, blessed slience. Sadly followed by all of the Very Loud Drunks who missed it starting to talk again, mostly conversations along the lines of

Drunk #1: What happened? Did she just say tits?
Drunk #2: WHAT? TITS?
Drunk #3: HEY THAT GIRL JUST SHOWED HER TITS!
Drunk #1: WHAT?

But it was still a fun show, tits and drunks nonwithstanding.)

Hee. So I just got out of the shower and DH tells me I had a phone call. It was Jennifer, no maybe Jessica, the Buffista friend of mine down from DC this weekend. Yes dear, that would be Sheryl. He's a doll, but not so great a secretary.

Out the door to finish my list. Yay, I see Sheryl and G Monday!

Thrubbing, thrubbing, thrubbing. Okay, Perkins, you're forgiven.

Nigeria to give free AIDS drugs -- excellent news from a bad situation.

MSNBC TV to lose the MS.

And, cool from erinaceous: Cat Chow (check the gallery), who makes funky dresses out of funky stuff.

Yay, and I just sent an email to you with the worst timing ever.

Very cool on Nigeria.

I couldn't get into the second one, which is odd, since I am a subscriber,

Very cool on the Cat Chow.

The parent's house = lots of sleep. For this I am thankful. We are doing presents tonight so I need to run out soon and pick up one last thing. I also need to wrap up a few more.

I'll probably also be helping cook the meal (also tonight instead of tomorrow) as my mother has bruised ribs.

Oww. Poor Msbelle's mom.

I got a good night's sleep too. (no cats on diets waking me up at 4:00!) Now I get to drive to Tucson.

Poorly timed e-mail? What e-mail? Never saw a thing.

I would have had a great night's sleep if I'd remembered to shut off my alarm. Silly me. And I realise I still haven't turned it off. Must address once the fluffy pancakes have gotten a little further along digesting, and the tea consumed.

How early is too early to call a complete stranger on a Saturday Christmas Eve morning? I need to set up going over to their place sometime today.

I hope your mother's ribs heal up nice and quick. Make sure she ices.

The baby Tabitha on Bewitched is ADORABLE. I need to IMDB her.

I miss The 11th Hour. Reading some of their pages makes me miss them more.

I really miss it. One of the best sites for fan writing ever. Didn't Allyson contribute there? Or Strega? or both?

I was interviewed, but not a contributor.
