The Golden Lie… or not quite so.

Filed under: Entries,Open — arglor @ 5:15 pm

Here we go. This is what I want to see. Could this blow up in the administration’s face? I’d love to find out Bush mechanistically puppeteered (sp? word?) this entire facade from the top. Its not going to happen, but it would be nice if they at least got Cheney on the stand and he testifies that “We do what we do to keep you safe…. you want us in the oval office… you need us in that oval office… You sleep better at night knowing men like me have.” Perhaps he will even throw in a “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”

SO!

Libby lied under oath… that put a young woman’s life in danger… in protection of a war… that is still going on… and is still unfounded as it was when the war began. I love it. I only wish the government would begin investigation proceedings for potential impeachment. I wish Libby would confess that “It isn’t my fault, I did what I was told to do.”… I just wish that the war would be Bush’s Monica Lewinski. I forgot that Clinton got impeached. He was officially impeached.

Only after he was successfully impeached, was he acquitted.

I’m so confused as to what the president’s job is. Protect and serve the populace in honesty and clarity of action, or maintain fidelity to his/her wife/husband. It has been said before a million times, I am more afraid of a person who lies at his job then a man who lies about his personal life.

A sampling of bitterwseet sorrow with a pinch of nostalgia…

I have a lot of stuff I need to do this weekend. My list of movies that i must watch has gotten longer. I’ve not seen a good movie in such a long time. Let me catalogue the movies i plan on possibly watching this weekend: (you can never strap me down to a locked in date)

1) Last King of Scotland. (I know I know, I’ve been preaching about this movie for a long time and how I need to see it. I will watch it soon.) 8/10 see later entry.
2) Pan’s Labyrinth (self-explained) 6.5/10 see later entry.
3) The Illusionist (I’ve been on the fence about this. Even if the script is bad (which I heard it may be) can Edward Norton be bad? I think not.)
4) The U.S. Vs John Lennon…. This may be on hold.
5) The Good German
6) The Painted Vale
7) The Death of Mister Lazarescu

there are more but I can’t remember them and they are currently at home SO!. I must stop.

I resurrected my past over the week. It was a gruesome process that cost me 87 dollars. I purchased a game I’ve not played for a long time, and that I had thought was lost to me due to the hurricane. Recently I learned that the discs for the game survived, but the case and manuals have been chucked (as they should have since they probably reeked of swamp sweat.)

All the same the reason for this recent project in necromancy is a direct result of the last few weeks or so. For Christmas I got FFXII, which I have to say is one of the most engaging and theatrical presentations for the final fantasy series. Meanwhile i’ve been playing FFXII and Mary has been watching me play the game and perform various other tasks*. I’ve always been enthralled with Final Fantasy Titles. The series is one of the few that makes engaging story telling linked directly with contextual game play. They are challenging and are also engaging and enjoyable.

So in my deluded vision of the present, I decided to purchase Final Fantasy V, VI, and VII. I may post a later post about my love of each game in its entirety, but that could very well alienate a large portion of my readership. Which includes maybe two or three people total? Is that even considered a readership? more like reader(s). 😉

P.S. Love note to Mary: FFV and VI are 2 player………. woot woot woot….

*Other tasks include: baking cookies and running the tv when a FMV sequence begins (rare, perhaps twice she did this), Knitting (recently given up on), Reading (!!! More about this later, she is reading a book I’ve been trying to get her to read for a long time.), watching and cuddling (very big enjoyment factor), laughing and joking about the characters on the screen (we both do that. Vaan is soooooooo Gay, not to mention ignorant. Not that there is anything wrong with the first part, but he should just come out and say it. On the other hand, the second part should be avoided), etc.

I so want to play a game like this.

And the chinese language is just the language i’d love to pick up. Because then i could have a gateway drug into that whole side of the world. And perhaps learning a language wouldn’t be such a pain in the arse.

Probably the last tv i buy for a long long time.

Dad: “did you get cable yet?”

Me: “No”

Dad: “when you gonna get cable? why have a tv and no cable?”

Me: “Never.”

Dad: “thats a shame.”

Me: “I watch movies on it and it has a beautiful picture for films, and not to mention i play games on it. It isn’t like the tv is just there unplugged.”

Dad: “I guess…”

My appologies…

I’m an idiot.

This is what i should have linked from the begining.

now that just makes me… cry.

A comic i can usually give or take has this really great strip.

punchline, “Jesus has come back and He’s a phone now.”

Its a funny line. Ok i need to start saving money for this 900$ behemoth. not to mention i need to start selling my body on the street aparently.. or at least my soul. Maybe a lawfirm will pay a lot for me to shat out my ideals.

Girlbean recently got published in a peerreviewed journal.

I want to tell the firm all about it as well, but there is a problem. She doesn’t want me to.Â

I just keep thinking that they always advertise when they do great things like have children, win cases, get mentioned in major law publications as being the #1 railroad lawyer in the country. I think they should hear that our own paralegal extraordinaire got published in a peerreviewed journal.Â

This is the talent that they have working for the firm.

She doesn’t want me to, some false modesty or some stuff. I say begone with the modesty and show your skills when your skills deem being shown. Oh well. My lips are sealed.

I think i’ve fallen in love with a cellular phone.

I'm not usually a big fan of little gadgets, but i need a new phone.

This will give you a bit more information on the cell phone.

I doubt i’ll ever be able to afford the iPhone, but i’d love to.

Death to the vile virus of our current day!

Filed under: Entries — arglor @ 2:17 pm

I went down south last week, and one day i may or may not tell you exactly how it went.

Summation:Â I enjoyed the trip a lot.

The problem is i’m sick. I got home two days ago to crawl up in bed and get a stomach virus. It has been hell these last few days. i’m going to go lay down.
