Why didn’t we protest like this? Oh. Yea. Cause we’re united. Also, there’s a movie coming out that addresses the genocide in Rwanda in `94 – and the movie doesn’t look half bad. Check out the trailer. There’s a great book about the genocide here. And, from the director of Hero, and starring Ziyi Zhang […]
It’s writers like these who make the rest of us look bad. You know what the best part about being a bleeding-heart liberal is? As long as these nutty people don’t hurt anybody or try and pass legislation on my bedroom activities, I really don’t mind sharing the world with them. They’re wacky and insane,
I’m not sure what came over me, perhaps it’s living in Chicago, and knowing how insane sports fans are here, or perhaps it’s my interest in the history of organized forms of violence, but I went ahead and checked out the video of the basketball brawl down in Indy. The Evil Kameron part of me

So, I’m not pissed off enough to rant today. Saw a mediocre production of Equus last night (It’s such a great script that it’s difficult to imagine a truly *bad* production of this show) that didn’t really piss me off. Got a bunch of crap on book one finished, and today I’ve just got one

Bush, Rumsfeld, and Powell take some time off to model for the Banana Republic catalog… Matt Cheney’s got a post up about some of the flack Strange Horizons appears to be taking for publishing a soft SF story… that’s about the sexual relationship between two women. Though I agree that the story would have been

My roomie has a date tonight, and I’m sitting here watching Rocky movies, eating Thai food, doing line edits and arguing with myself again about what a lame person I must be to be sitting here finding some kind of happiness in line edits and Rocky movies.
