Day Dreaming
I hope you've enjoyed your day off. If you didn't get today off, then shame on your employer.
Me, I've spent the day putting off work I brought home to do over the weekend. (Shame on me.) Also, I'm trying to tune out t.v. and television in order to avoid the usual non-analysis of what King was about and where we're at now.
Yesterday, Anna Ford (my old Oly buddy who has just moved to town) and I had a sleep over. We ate pate, triple cream stinky cheese, and drank wine. To balance it out, we watched Hotel Rwanda. If you think we've come a long way, you are so wrong. Sure, Anna and I got to be born to interacially suited parents (it was still illegal for my parents to marry in some states when they did). We get to eat fancy food. But there is still a bunch of inhumane and disgracefull stuff going on.

10 Added Something:
as a child of interacially suited parents and an eater of fancy food, i think i have to disagree about the inhumane/disgraceful bit. I mean, just this morning I was at this MLK deal where a guy was singing a song about the blacks, browns, yellows, whites and reds living in ha-aar-mony!
chin up, chin up I say! Don't worry, be happy!
Hotel Rwanda is excellent. And my employer does indeed suck.
K- I am jealous of your sleep over. Remember when you, me and Anna started a church in Olympia, WA back in the mid-nineties? Those were good times.
I'm a womanizer and a plagiaist.
Seriously, I'm going to defend the man on this day.
First of all, as long as the womanized were willing, it's of no concern to me. I know lots of perfectly wonderful people who have stepped out on their partners. I don't think it's a good idea, but I won't condemn their work. (Except Woody Allen -- I don't know him, and he's a pervert to have gone after a woman he knew as a girl and stepdaughter.)
And secondly, plagiarism is encouraged and required in the churchy professions. They're always drawing from the bible or other religious texts. I never expect preachers to be very original. Often when they are, I'm troubled and wish to engage in discussion about it. But the nature of church or ralleys doesn't really lend itself to dialog.
So, in conclusion, I disagree with regarding King as either womanizer or a plagiarist.
p.s. -- I'm never a womanizer. I just said it to make a point.
New Agent #9 - Yes, I remember the Church. I am the church. Speaking of which, I think I need to be born again - Can you come to LA and be my priest in the city of Angeles?
To everyone else - what to MLK & the Golden Globes have in common?
You mean St. Oprah, right?
oprah worships gift bags. her tom cruise thing is idolatry. also she and steadman are decidedly not married.
i pondered the work of king while i took my bath and considered what good i am offering to the 'movement.'
the speech i wrote for a rally in my hometown a few months ago was included in the press packet at a rally in palm springs over the weekend which got coverage in newspapers from chicago to mississippi. that's pretty good for starting in northern ca.
i'm no saint, but i do educate and uplift on rare occasions. i am known to womanize more often than i plagiarize.
mostly, though, i spent the whole day watching season 4 of 24.
Hotel Rwanda was good, but it sure leaves you with a lead heart.
I totally concur with your Woody Allen assessment. He is gross.
I love Don Cheadle so much more than Woody Allen.
Sometimes in April is a good one too.
i was feeling left out so i did a little womanizing and a little plagiarizing today. damn, does that feel good!
anybody see the Boondocks, "I Have a Dream" special?
and, Woody Allen has always creeped me out.
Maybe if he were Jude Law's age he might be less gross. Then again, imagine Ashton ending up with one of Demi's kids. Scout? Gross even though he looks good and is young.
