You must see the South Park premiere.
It could just as well have been CoH 4 months ago.
Funny stuff.

I never imagined myself as a Dad. Although I had been the third parent for my Brother and Sister on my Mom's side, I just never conceived what it would be to be a dad. Here's what I know now.

1) You're not a dad.. you're just you, and you're the one who has to change the poopy, and he likes to fall asleep on you.. and you sure do love him.. and.. oh crap... you're a dad.

2) You still have the same personal projects on your plate, and you'll get to them.. but tomorrow.

Remember how you felt disappointed by the lightsaber fights in episode 3?
It was almost like any kid could have done better than that, right?

Well.. yes.
AMAZING.

ONCE MORE WITH FEELING

Mel, Mel, Mel.

Oh boy, Mel. Did you ever put yourself in a corner. You were a freewheeling sarcastic action star who went serious. Then you made a religious movie that isolated you from Hollywood and put you under a microscope. The movie also had about 90 seconds of material that when taken out of context of the bigger story, made the Jewish community uncomfortable.

Then you got drunk - a bad move for a religious ICON (his production company name) - drove drunk - a bad move for a role model - chewed out an officer - a bad move for a Hollywood star - and finally, when you realized the officer was jewish.. you let the alcohol talk.

Hey!
I have 2 tickets for the One-Man Star Wars show at the Woolly Mammoth theatre in DC. It is a show with one super-hyper dude who does the entire trilogy by himself in 90 mins. The reviews are amazing, and it looks like a lot of fun!! Many shows are selling out, but I have 2 cancellations from people moving out of town - so I wanted to offer the seats to Barnsonians first.. any takers?

Iraq is falling apart.
Iran is developing Nuclear Weapons.
Afghanistan is ruled by Warlords.
Pakistan and India are halting talks after terrorist bombings.

And now.. the coup de Grace..

Israel's gone Batsh*t.

Well, of course they have. Wouldn't you? They've been bombed on buses and cafes and they've felt like the neigbors are supporting it. On the other hand. they levelled Hezbollah, and then just kept firing away. Roads, evacuating buses, everything.

Yup.. Fresh from YouTube.. saw this and LOVED it. The Darth Vader Sessions.

Seven weeks.

Seven weeks ago, the summer movie season had already started. Seven weeks ago, I had already turned 30. Seven weeks ago, things were just like now.. same season, same time, same.. well.. almost everything.

Its hard to think that in seven weeks - or less - everything will be different. I sit sometimes on the Rocking chair I still need to fix up, or in the laundry room I still need to finish emptying out.. and I think to myself.. I was still working on this stuff seven weeks ago. I play the song I swore I was going to record seven weeks ago, and I think.. maybe in a couple of weeks.
