OMG! I'm so glad that you guys were also confused about Mile High!

I was soooo confused.

Finally got around to seeing Brokeback Mountain yesterday. While it didn't emotionally sucker-punched me as it did some other people, I thought it was a beautifully made film with some exceptional performances. What got to me the most, above and beyond the love story, was the tragedy of 'life unlived', especially for Ennis. The trailer scenes with Alma Jr. were heartbreaking--Alma saying that Ennis needs more furniture, and Ennis replying jokingly that since he has nothing, he needs nothing. And the scene at Jack's parents' house... GAH. I was so very glad that Ennis decided to maintain a scrap of human connection and go to Alma's wedding at the end. Without that, the movie would have been too bleak for me, I think.

The actresses playing the wives were great, too. I thought Anne Hathaway was particularly fine in that scene where she reveals Jack's death to Ennis over the phone. I knew Michelle Williams could act, but what I'd seen of Hathaway thus far hadn't led me to expect she had that kind of subtlety in her.

Umm, found an episode guide and it looks like this week's episode was the Season 2 opener -- so people disappear with no explanation and I guess that's just it.

Apparently ( [link] ) tomorrow is the most depressing day of the year. I think we all ought to stay home for a day of not getting off the couch.

• Chuck Norris has an open API. His right leg, coming straight at your face.
• And last but not least: Web 2.0 is Chuck Norris.

It's times like this when it apparent the internet eats itself for sustenance.

I wonder if I could make Pat Robertson's head actually explode if I followed up on my impulse to sell a sitcom to the networks where Teenage Jesus and his entouragedisciples have wacky adventures. Dude, Where's My Camel?

Isn't that the plot of Anne Rice's new book?

The original one, or Evolution?

Evolution.

I have a GA question: Did they ever show whatshisname's boards and whether or not he passed? Also? I love George and want him for my very own.

Sumi, I have this fantasy that the next ep will be all about the missing bits, and then all of the other eps will be all about Jase.

I know the second part won't happen, but I am going to be sorely vexed if the first doesn't, at some point.

Yeah, Aimee, he made Izzie look at them, and she said "You're not an idiot" or something. So I guess he passed.
