Let's see...

How many ways can my day suck ass?

It's rainy, meaning I currently have frizzy hair. *check*

My bangs are sticking to my forehead. *check*

I came in early to get work done because I have too much to do. *check*

My boss who is one of the two people who relieve me on the phones to go to lunch and/or the bathroom is out today. *check*

My coworker who is the *other* person who relieves me on the phones was in a car accident last night and is out of work today. *check*

I am going to have to ask a male coworker to cover the phones for me when I have to go to the bathroom. *two checks*

Someone will have to bring me lunch since I don't get to leave today. *check*

And all of this before 8:30. Yay me.

For your amusement.

Okay, so I'm not a Hulk fan. Never have been. I've never seen the appeal of the big green guy. So I'm not going to see the movie. I'll save my money for something that trips my trigger (like going to see X2 again).

That said, I was listening to the radio this morning, and on the Bob and Sherry show (I have no clue what markets they play in) Lamar, the People's Critic was giving his rundown of the movie.

No spoilers are contained herein. These are just some of the paraphrased highlights of Lamar's review.

First off, Lamar only saw the last 45 minutes of the movie. Lamar is also hopelessly southern and slightly redneck. His rating scale is usually 5 Budweisers. But if something is really good, he might give it a case. (Or consequently, if something sucks, he might downgrade to a Bud Light.)

That said, The Hulk earned 2 Buds.

According to Lamar, the CGI Hulk just looked bad. Really bad. Horribly bad. And one thing that made no sense to him was that ( Okay, so THIS is slightly spoilery. )

Also something he couldn't understand was why Jennifer Connelly and Sam Elliott were in a movie this bad. Although, you know, Sam Elliott, as good as he is, will do *anything.* That turned to discussion about the director, Ang Lee. Yeah, most likely they thought that since Lee was directing it would be good. After all, look at what his last movie was like: Crouching Humping Tigers.

After that I pretty much missed the rest of the review because I was laughing too hard. There was some discussion of Crouching Humping Tigers, but it was mostly about how Lamar thought the movie was pretty good, but there was too much reading.

I love it when rednecks go public.

Somebody pass me the hot rollers.

My desktop is now Van Helsing.

So far it...well, Hugh...has distracted me beautifully from anything productive.

Mmmmm. Crossbow. Leather. Layers just *begging* to be peeled off...wait, where the hell is his left hand???

Okay, I think the glove he's wearing is just blending very well.

Letter to the Idiot

Dear Mr. Toby Keith:

I was writing to inquire as to what political office you hold? It seems as of late that I have quite often seen you speaking on behalf of "the people" and it has me confused. What people? Which people elected you to a particular political office.

See, my confusion is based in the fact that over and over I have heard your opinions - in song, in written form and verbal - concerning the political views of others and how they were wrong for speaking for "the people" also. But amazingly those people apologized for claiming to speak for "the people" when they were only speaking for themselves. (Whether the apology was sincere is of no concern to me. I am not God. I am not their judge and jury. As long as the effort was made, I'll be the better person and believe it was sincere instead of wasting my time on vindictive judgement against them because of a lack of anything else to do. Or a need for attention. Take your pick.)

So my confusion is based in this. Since you feel so free to speak for "the people", and you aren't issuing apologies, you must be elected to a position of power. Because elected officials do speak for the people. Right?

I know, I must seem a fool for being so confused. But really, you can't blame a girl for not understanding. Because as a politician, wouldn't you therefore be very willing, no matter how irritating you may find your opponent, to uphold freedom of speech and allow them to say what they feel, as long as they don't claim to be speaking for "the people" when they are not elected to a position to do so?

I am eagerly awaiting your response.

Confused in North Carolina

P.S. I really do support the right to freedom of speech. I even understand the views of people on both sides. Which is why, while I think you entertaining most of the time, and find your views on terrorism to be refreshing for their brutal honesty, I do believe, on this issue you have with Natalie Maines, you merely have your head up your ass. Pull it out honey and get over yourself.
