TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!

Yes.. today is the day...

Now, don't get it twisted. I am by no means an overly zealous patriotic political maven. However, I do firmly believe, that voting is a right that should NEVER be treated with apathy.

Is the system perfect? No.

Is there a perfect candidate that genuinely respresents all of your fundemental values and beliefs? Hell NO.

However, the right to vote is a right for which people worldwide throughout history and still to present day, have fought and died. This fact alone makes it a personal imperative for me to fully participate in the voting process. Its my right and duty as a responsible adult.

So ramdon fans... I submit to you again that... today is the day...

make your voice count...

...if you don't vote don't complain.

Question of the day

butterrfly: Question of the day... what is the minimum amount of money (after taxes) that you would need to have in order to quit your current job and leave the working world?

O.Gee: the cost of car fare home.

Marie Antoinette

rating: Eh (rating system)

This movie is not at all what I thought it would be. I guess I'm a purist in some sense. I like a movie that based on a speicfic time period, to I don't know make me feel like I'm back in that time period. I think the modern day music throughout the movie is was ruined that effect for me. The fact that this movie was about a nortiorious historical persona and her life, is what leaves me bothered by this movie. Throughout the movie I was waiting to learn more about Marie as a person, the intricacies of the French politics leading up to the French Revolution.... *sigh* I was left to fill in the historical blanks myself. In short, if you have a deep interest in French culture or history and are looking to learn more, then this movie isn't for you. Although the movie did give you a good sense of the opulance of the french monarchy, I would recommend that you visit Versailles yourself rather than see this flick.

Oh, and did I mention, that they don't even speak french in this movie? qu'est-ce que c'est environ ? comment insultant!

Ya know.. at first it was mildly amusing, but now its just plain annoying. My curent phone number is similiar to the local WOK express therefore I am tortured DAILY with calls through out the day for orders of wonton soup, general tso's chicken and moo goo gai pan. **boggle**


Thanks to modern telecommunications technology, I actually recognize the names/phone numbers of certain take out diners that repeatively disturb the tranquility of my home and answer the phone, "You have the wrong number. This is NOT Wok Express". Do you know on occassion some of these patrons actually have the nerve to argue with me and insist that they DID dial Wok express and that I am wrong? **double boggle**
