We’ll miss you, Ironhead.

 

I know too many Gemini.

One night last summer Kent and I decided to go see Batman Begins. Heard decent reviews, Michael Caine was Alfred. It even had ninjas. We were in. Sat down with popcorn and cherry Coke. 10 minutes till the end the power goes out. We were offered 2 free tickets so we took them and later on went to see some movie that I can’t remember.

Fast forward to this summer and Batman is on HBO. Great, I can watch it on my own time. Friday night I get through almost half of the movie before I fall asleep. Last night Kent and I got through 32 minutes (I checked) before we both fell asleep. This morning I start at minute 33 and get to minute 42 before the phone begins to ring. It’s not a boring movie. I enjoy what I’ve seen immensely. The stars are not aligned.
I’m not giving up. If I can ever wrestle the remote away from Beth and Kent (who are watching ‘Mother May I Sleep with Danger’)* I’m sitting on the couch, with the phone ringers off and watching the movie to the end.

* When Beth and Kent get together they watch Lifetime made-for-tv movies. I forgot about this tendency. Ew… Tori Spelling is in it.

A day late, I’m sorry. (I’m back-dating this entry so it looks like it was posted on the right day)

But I’m not sure you read the site anyway. If you do, Happy Birthday!

 

Those interested in joining me at the 2008 NBA All-Star Game at the pristine and restored New Orleans Arena, please contact Kent with your name and credit card information. Also include a written note reminding him that the return of the Hornets, like all other major businesses, is a huge step in helping revive the city’s economy. He hates the Hornets.

 

You’re an old man now.

 

Ale to prawo jest złe. Od Washington Post:

After an emotional debate fraught with symbolism, the Senate yesterday voted to make English the “national language” of the United States, declaring that no one has a right to federal communications or services in a language other than English except for those already guaranteed by law.

The measure, approved 63 to 34, directs the government to “preserve and enhance” the role of English, without altering current laws that require some government documents and services be provided in other languages. Opponents, however, said it could negate executive orders, regulations, civil service guidances and other multilingual ordinances not officially sanctioned by acts of Congress.

Preserve and enhance the role of English? I hate this type of jingoism. It’s neither patriotic, nor inherently American, to speak English. There is no need for the United States to have a national language. It’s as if Americans have forgotten that everyone in this country came from immigrants.

Yes it sucks that people come to this country, where English is the most common language, and refuse to learn to speak it. But you know what? That’s their right. It’s a free country. It may not be the best personal choice to not learn English (right now) in the United States, but the language you choose to speak is exactly that, a personal choice.

I’m not even going to bother to point out the obvious irony in trying to pass this law during the administration of our current President. Ok, I am going to bother, but I certainly wouldn’t dare besmirch the President’s good name in the national language, that would be unpatriotic, right?
George Bush nie może mówić Angielski. Za każdym razem on otwiera jego usta, on niszczy tego język. To jest faktem. Wszyscy poznaje to, wszyscy wyśmiewa jego.
