Oh, the rain. Rain and Christmas traffic. Hyperactive dogs that have been shut inside all week, and so far the weekend holds no promise of doing a damn thing outdoors. Yuck.
In better news, I'm doing Sinferno tommorrow night, so at least i'll get to hang out with some of the girls and whoever braves to nasty weather to come and see us. I'm doing a really dorky Matrix set, because nothing says 'holidays' to me like big-budget cheesy-ass blockbuster movies.
Speaking of movies, last night I rented A Boy and His Dog, which was aparrently the movie that inspired the Mad Max films. I can totally see the progression. I'm always fascinated by all things apocolyptic, so of course I enjoyed the movie. But it was really very strange and disconcertingly mysoginistic. Actually, there was just no likeable character in the entire film. Even the telepathic dog was an ass. The heroine was certainly no Tank Girl. Anyhow, it always bothers me in movies where there are few women left for some reason and therefore it is assumed that all men instantly become rapists. 28 Days Later left me with the same feeling even though it is a modern film. I try to convince myself that things wouldn't really be that way, but then I think of how things go in prison. Then I just think it's safest to kill everyone now so I won't have to worry about it when the bombs start falling...
