One Year Ago Today

duck and cover

up and down the coast, paranoia stalks the nukeyoulerr generating plants.  first an earthquake, now a hurricane with storm surge and maybe flooding.  the staff and owners understand they're only one catastrophe away from pitchfork and torches public hanging. 

rock me like a hurricane

watching the hilarious panic all over the tee vee.  i hope those bastards in nyc or new jersey don't think of taking federal funds if hurricane irene gets all medieval on their asses.

mega shark vs. crocosaurus -- not starring paul giamatti!!

woulda' been sweet, though.  i mean, urkel, johnny cab and a host of actors who may be seen in the background of icarly or victorious with mr. tuvok and the poolboy lady from madtv.  pg would've put that bad boy over the top!  scarily, my daughter loves these cheapo asylum flicks on syfy.  she wants to watch just long enough to see the giant-whatever bad special effect and she's thrilled.  i guess she's probably the target demo anyway.  she was especially interested in the moby dick 2010 epic.  call me ishmael indeed. 

tar sands: more bad mojo

perhaps not as scary as paul giamatti playing shane macgowan, but this tar sands pipeline bullshit is pretty fucking disgusting.  the obama administration is all for it, of course, and lots has been made about the pipe fitters union being as short sighted and greedy as the afl-cio was during the patco strike.  basically, we have a fucked political and social culture in this country, and this is just another horrible example of how fucked we all are. 

pogues biopic with paul giamatti as shane macgowan

maybe i need my meds adjusted, but i have an irrational fear of really awful pogues movie with paul giamatti starring chewing the scenery as shane macgowan.  i understand that it is both less likely than a ron paul presidency as well as more horrible than a rick perry/david barton administration, but still it would be a remarkably destructive artifact, and i've been obsessing about it for a while.  bad mojo.
