I heard that this a.m. and thought, "Maybe RDJ shouldn't be playing a drug addict..."

But by the same token, who better? Other than half of Hollyweird, but then again, who better who has the same kind of talent and can still form coherent sentences?

Too true.

It was the fear that he'd lose the ability if he started the lifestyle again. I likey RDJ on the big screen and would like to keep him there.

Especially since I've heard that almost all of his problems occurred during periods when he wasn't working. For a guy who's been such a mess otherwise, he's been incredibly professional about his work.

He really has. And he seems to have a real gift for portraying characters with the inner demons. A manner of channeling, I suppose. If directed well, I think he could create the sort of reinvention for Holmes that Heath Ledger is being credited with for the Joker.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Last night K, Noah and I were walking past the school I work at. There was a group of kids, two of whom I had in class. They were hanging out on school property, which they do pretty frequently. After we passed, I heard them shout 3 times "Ms. Gullo, Fuck you!" and then, before we left school property ourselves, they shouted something about "killing that baby."

I can ignore the fuck yous directed at me, because whatever. And I don't necessarily think they would hurt me or my son (after all, they were cowardly enough to wait until my back was turned before they started yelling it). I ignored them and stopped Katie from going back and making a scene. But now I think I should have. I'm calling school police this morning though.

Am irked and upset.

A very healthy reaction, I think. Those students definitely need a lesson in how the words they choose matter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus, Kat -- that's really bad.

That's fucked up, Kat. Your students, not your reaction.
