Sleeper film of the year, by far: Little Miss Sunshine.
Wow! I was impressed.

What with the heat, everyone it seems is walking around with this "Global Warming" hard-on.
And it's beginning to get annoying.

Here is a great article from Canada that'll hopefully cool some peeps down a bit.....

BANDAIDS AND RACISM

Dining with a friend of mine, I was alerted to the inherent racism that exists in the color of - yes - bandaids.

"Bandaids come in just one color- beige - which doesn't take into account the color of African-Americans," spouts my friend - a professor of English at a local university.

"What would be the remedy to this awful debacle," I retort, heavy on the eye-rolling sarcasm, "black bandaids for blacks in Africa? Are you seeings blacks marching the streets here in large protest about this type of thing?" I now feel myself getting warmer, getting emotionally engaged in a conversation that could easily escalate and ruin the cuddly mood at the table. Me and 6 other women, very few of whom I surmise would help me run the flag up this hill with me.

"You don't just understand, as a white male...," chirps my pedagogue friend, self-satisfactorally.
"You probably think it's stupid...,"
"Well, yes......" I stammer, face in hands.......
What I wanted to do was slam my beer glass on the table, and harumph, "get back to me when you can find an African-American who frankly gives a shit about this...."

But of course, I did no such thing.

Now, this is somewhat better. This was taken in 2004.....late May, I believe. But look at me.....absolutely self-indulgent......what a narcissist!!! What has gotten into me. Enough with the goddamned headshots already......

This is an example of a piss-poor headshot.
Don't ever thy try this at home ladies and gents.
This was taken back in 1998, when I should have known better.
(It was part of a split-screen shot....the other side had me with my hair down....equally as banal.)

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter. I'll be back with more thoughts just as soon as they hit me.

I am happy to be here, thank you.
