Because Cory Cares
1. Weirdest use of a Cat Power song in a movie? The Secret Lives of Dentists. And it's my favorite one too--the Tom Waits cover, "I'll find a reason." Didn't fit well. I get Showtime and TMC for free, and they're just the worst, most worthless channels ever. Except this movie wasn't absoultely horrible. It's impossible to hate Campbell Scott (was he Rodger Dodger? or in In the Company of Men?) and if you're not in love with Hope Davis after American Splendor then you're probably buying Hilary Duff singles.
2. Had to go to the Criminal Courts today, on 26th & California. It was a sad experience, seeing little kids there with their teenage dad's waiting to be called. Sat in on a trial where 70,000 worth of cocaine and automatic weapons were found. That was the first automatic weapon I've seen in person. The prosecution left the huge gun on the table so it would always be in sight of the jury. The demographics were strikingly simple: young, mostly black. I just feel so sad. So sad.
3. ABC news says 5% of people ever truly quit smoking. ABC says cigarette smoking is more addictive than heroine, and that cold turkey will never really work.
4. Excellent Washing Post editorial this weekend, "Vice President for Torture" shouldn't be missed. Cheney is literally trying to force through a bill that says it's okay to torture prisoners.
5. No longer working downtown, phew. But they did give me a 7 year old laptop as a going-away present.
6. I'm sure by now you've read"Brownie's" emails durig the FEMA Katrina debacle. It's really quite fantastic reading. And that's just Brownie. Can you imagine what trash talk Rove, Libby, and the rest of Dark Side are emailing back and forth about the indictments? I'm sure it would make Harriet Mier's blush.
7. Bush's approval ratings are lower than any other 2nd term president's other than.....NIXON! Isn't that just wonderful. Watching the Democrats (as Jon Stewart explained last night) grow testicles, knowing the American public, even the vengeful red states, are starting to realize that they made mistake putting this man in office again. wow. It's such a beautiful, beautiful thing
8. I ate almost an entire container of olive bruschetta today (in my defense, it was just olives, banana peppers, sun dried tomatoes, and a little oil, not soooo bad for you).
Ok Cory. Bring on the comments. You didn't post today either you know.
