I should have worn a sign to today's Rainbow reception that said, "I was burnt out and needed a break. That's ALL." Possibly I should have made a blanket announcement on the website as well. Yeesh! The gossip-mongers went home disappointed, I'm sure. 
It was much fun, however. I'm mentally tired but glad I went - I doled out punch and compliments for the most part.
Other randomosity:
See? You CAN have rational, well-thought out dialogue about abortion. Then again, most of the people reading my journal aren't wanktards, so I'm not surprised.
Watched Domino last night. Pretty good - I'd forgotten how much I like Mickey Rourke. He's kind of in the same class as Gary Busey, only without the empty-sober face and botox. I'm becoming less of a Keira Knightley fan, however, even though she did a good job here.
How pathetic is my love of this picture? Yes, I think pasty man-legs are sexy. Shoot me (please).
Hope you all are having great weekends catching up on life (or, in my case, the second season of MI-5)!

LulZ - drunken posting rulez
I am sincerely hoping that the political tides are beginning to turn here, for all our sakes. Problem is that the extremists on both sides are screaming over the rest of us.
The movie Syriana did a great job of delinating how the Western world uses the Second- and Third-World for their own financial gains and excesses.
Right now I volunteer with a group that helps working people find access to free health care and social services. It is practically impossible to make a "decent" living any more, where you have a job that pays enough to cover rent, food, and utilities, never mind health care. People this winter were leaving their ovens open to heat their homes in order to save money. And ExxonMobile just posted an $11bn profit. It's sick-making.
Re: LulZ - drunken posting rulez
Tell me about it, the money that these multi-national corporation's make could assist so many people in so many different ways. I think the statistics are that 5% of the worlds population own about 90% of the wealth. I haven't seen that movie yet but I have seen many documentaries on similar issues before. Unfortunately its nothing new and I am sure it will be done over and over again until we basically make greed Illegal. I can only hazard a guess, but I am sure every large corporation has secret about exploiting a situation for there own benefit.
Its the nature of the beast whether it be nestle promoting that there bottled milk formula is better then breast milk in 3rd world nations in Africa. To the corporation that owns KFC and Pizza Hut also sells arms to African countries. Wherever there is desperation, there will be exploitation. Unfortunately it appears to be in some people nature.
That's I am sure is enough of a drunken rant for you.
