ever wish you hadn't logged on? today, i had some time to burn before heading out for another day of steep camp shooting at the basin and damn. i wish i hadn't. too many yucky things going on for people in my bookmarks. give them all a little love, would ya?
so then i headed over to the film club to see what people thought of one of the biggest pieces of shit movies i have had the opportunity to suffer through in a while: sideways. and guess what... everyone LOVED it. holy crap what is wrong with people? i hated what the bleep do we know? too so that is two excrutiating movies in one week. i pretty much knew that sideways had zero opportunity to live up to the hype but damn. from the opening scene, i absolutely hated the characters, thought the story was ludicris, had no tolerance for any of it.
first of all, let's get this straight. i can not stand drunk driving. and this movie practically celebrated it. disgusting. so there. i could go on but am going to be late for work.
on another completely related note, i just found out that one of my good friends was run over by some drunk/drugged-up bastard recently. my friend is a world-class mountain bike racer and came to as the drunk fucker was dragging him out from under his truck so that he could attempt to flee the scene. my friend was in the hospital for awhile and will have to have surgery on his eye, which was damaged and is having serious headache problems as well as issues being able to stay awake for more than a few hours at a time. which is a real problem when you specialize in 24-hour races and that is how you make your living.
so anyway. i am off.

good thoughts to him as he recuperates.
