  So, motherfuckers, how were your weekends? My weekend got off to an early and unintended start. On Thursday night, Patricia, Dawn, and I went out for a few cocktails in this lovely city. While going down the stairs to the Park Street T station, I rolled my ankle. Really badly. I heard popping and snapping sounds, I saw stars. That definitely SUCKED. I haven't hurt myself like that since I was in high school and playing sports.
By the time I woke up on Friday, my ankle was the size of a baseball, and putting on a shoe was just out of the question. And so, I stayed home from work. Most of the weekend was spent limping around and not wearing shoes, which I HATE. I hate being barefoot. This morning I am back at work. The swelling has gone down some, and the colors have changed to yellow and brown.
And, I can wear my shoes, albeit uncomfortably. So that's that. I saw 9/11 this weekend as well. Aimee's comments are definitely noteworthy and I agree with them. While I wholeheartedly believe that Bush is the anti-christ, the movie definitely suffers a bit from tunnel-vision. I do not believe that 9/11 occurred because Bush's family had financial dealings with the Bin Laden family. That's just crazy talk. However, I'm glad this movie was made and that people are seeing it. I am a card carrying member of the "shit all over everything and never be satisfied with anything" phenomena of our generation. So it's easy to find fault with anything, anywhere. But the portion of the movie dealing with why we are in Iraq and the fucking freedom/fear rhetoric that has been going on since 9/11 definitely rang true with me.
That, in my opinion, is reason enough for anyone to see the movie. And also, the shit was damn funny. I hope all of you have been reading Joel's blog. His last post is all about coming "out" as an addicted smoker. For years now he has been saying "I'm not addicted, I just enjoy it", right before he would beg me for a cigarette (since he rarely has his own, cheap bastard). It's just part of his inherent hipocracy (should be hipoCRAZY, I think. ) He actually believes that he has just NOW become addicted to smoking, after 6 years.
BULLSHIT. Any smoker on the planet will tell you that shit stinks. It's a damn lie. But, if he wants to live in his fantasy, I say bring it on, since it certainly is entertaining. Shit, it's almost 9:00 am, and I haven't done a damn thing yet.
