  I lost my voice today, so now I sound like Ron Weasley in the second Harry Potter when it works, and Whispery Rob when it doesn't. There's a lot of croaking involved as well. There's no pain involved, so i enjoy it. I like funny voices.
I saw Chicago last night; it was truly splendid. Dark without being brooding, funny, cynical, and a-fricken-mazing to watch; I can see why people are attracted to plays, musicals, and shiny things that dance. It was pretty ugly in places, too. It sort of makes you realise how everything is for sale, even, especially justice. I kept thinking that little has changed from the time period of the movie and now. Better lawyers go to better paying customers. Still haven't heard from the Family as to job status. I'm taking this generic nyquil stuff to promote sleep, so, in theory, I'll heal quicker. Seems to me, though, that while it does assure a four hour bout with unconsciousness, it also promotes the dreaming of dreams that are even weirder than my norm. For example, last night, I went to sleep thinking about Chicago, and i awoke sort of holding a potato scrubber shaped cleverly like a potato that Catherine Zeta-Jones had given me.
Then I really woke up and wondered why the hell i was dreaming about potato scrubbers in the first place. There was also a dream where I pulled an entire trout out of my mouth. You know that grossness when you're sick and you hork up phelgm? See, that was the plan, but i horked up a smallish sized trout instead. Perhaps my sub-conscious was hungry at the time.
Everyone's been talking about the war/police action. I've little to say about it, except, the sooner people realise that those in power are liars and murderers, the better. Kurt is right; fear sells, and we've got to be AFRAID of those big bad people who happen to have their thumbs on the oil.Nevermind the fact that we'd be fighting against folks the US armed in the first place.
Anyways, shut off your damn TV, neither you, me or the guy down the street is getting even an eighth of the information we ought to be getting in order to make an inofrmed judgement call on whether we should go to war or not. I say not, but that's a generality; War is hell, anyone who says differently is selling something.
