Cruel Intentions requires that I watch that annoying man who spawned with Witherspoon. Also, doesn't it require watching Witherspoon? So it's out.

Breakfast Club is all about the Brian/Bender. The girlslash, not so much.

Heathers, I have seen once and forgotten about. The leads annoy me.

Heathers. Teen suicide, don't do it!

Bring it On!

How did the Republicans push everything through under Bush with a smaller Senate majority?

Better party unity and the Bush admin had better issues. There was a lot of pressure for the vote to authorize use of force in Iraq. Tax cuts are hard to vote against (or worse sounding not even allow a vote on.)

Health care reform is a really hard vote. Clinton couldn't even get it to a vote in the 90s, Obama got a lot further already. He got his supreme court nominee, he got the stimulus package.

The Dems also have some more populist issues in their quiver now for election season. Financial reforms and jobs bills. If they have any balls, they'll force some tough 'no' votes on the Repubs. Not allowing a vote on financial reforms will make for some nice campaign ads.

Oh, motherfucker, why did I check my work e-mail at 10:30? And why are people stupid? No, you may not have the old acronym back. I don't care if you like it better. It is not used any more. I am not going back through the 80-page document to reverse the CORRECT changes that I made.

P.S. I hate you.

Heathers! I have not seen that recently enough.

that annoying man who spawned with Witherspoon.

Ryan Philipppppppppe? He's so PRETTY in that movie! (Uh, I guess in addition to having a weakness for fucked-up rich kids, I have a weakness for self-entitled asshole guys. But I stopped dating them, so I should at least get to watch them in movies!)

Better party unity

"Better" implies that the Dems have *any,* which I don't believe they do. They disgust me.

And -- I haven't really said this to anyone yet -- I wouldn't be sad if the current version of healthcare reform was nuked from orbit. I don't think it's going to do any good for anyone.

The silver lining is, there is no longer any reason for Democrats to play nice with Joe Lieberman.

And: Heathers.

I have a weakness for self-entitled asshole guys.

Yeah, but bon likes the really crazy ones.

You guys! I cooked salmon! I made a modified version of this recipe using honey mustard dressing and no cranberries and not the MOST appropriate greens but still.

The honey mustard sort of turned into a film or something; I don't know whether that was what I was going for or not. It sure did coat those walnuts, though. And I had the heat too high when I put the salmon on so the bottom skin was burnt. The other side looked like fish, though.

And I did not realize that couscous puffed up to like THREE MILLION TIMES ITS SIZE so I made twice as much as I needed to.

But otherwise, my fish tasted like fish and there was some honey mustard action in there, and it was like a real meal!
