What was the first thing Emily did when she woke up this cloudy Thursday morning? She plops on the sofa like it's any Saturday evening and watches an episode of 24. What a joy to greet the world after having the show vicariously pump adrenaline in your body! I'm now convinced that this is the only way I should start my day.
Jack Bauer personifies the adage "the ends justifies the means." I realize that if the strength of your conviction is strong enough, that is, if you are morally convicted that what you are doing is the RIGHT thing to do, if the power of that belief is strong enough, you can get away with anything. That is the take home lesson of the day for me.
In other news, I recently got an email from my ex with an Interesting link promising footage of him dancing with another member of the XY species. HMMMMM....now I've always known that he was an open-minded fella. Yet this begs the speculation and adds a sudden, more interesting twist to his story. I am actually intrigued. Or I guess at the very least, it would be inappropriate to label him as a "h-phobe" any longer. He has passed that test, for sure.
Oh yes, I am very happy with Ang Lee's victory as director. To be sure, this is a 4-day belated news, but i still want to publically acknowledge it. He deserved it. I mean, Steven Speilberg does NOT need three trophies to line his mantel. In fact, once you earn it once, you should really let others have their chance. Steven Speilberg can get his lifetime acheivement award next, that's fine by me, but he definitely should not even have been nominated a third time.
Lastly, I find myself daydreaming far more often than is appropriate about the type of person I should be and not enough time doing it. I have romanticized the whole idea of self-perfection to a degree you will not believe. it's all rosey and tinted until the going gets tough and then, I wilt back in the face of exhaustion. Something must be done about this. People around me are getting antsy and that's starting to feed the flames of anxiety in me too. How long will I continue this cruel self-indulgence?

EY, I began to check your blog daily after I get into the office, along with the Times while drinking my morning coffee. I must say this blog thing is starting to get to me - that's yours of course. I've not updated mine for ages.
Happy to entertain. As always.
So, here's the link to G's website and footage in question. I honestly think he will be rather flattered that I'm passing it on.

I was just having some fun at George's expense. I mentioned it to him too but I don't think he was too amused.
