Time 4 Another Deep Thought by Jack Handey

"Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk."

Are you people drunk? :)

I think I'm going to try to come up with my own deep thoughts. I'll get back to you on that.

Revolutionary Life

I saw Revolutionary Road over the weekend which left me feeling "empty and hopeless". I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. I enjoyed it, that much is true. I just don’t know if I care anymore to celebrate the ability of movies to make me feel bad. They must think it’s more difficult to do the opposite, I guess, not excluding butt-related jokes, but you can’t really make a whole movie around that, or at least you shouldn’t. At the very least, I guess, it reminded me that we can unstick ourselves from the ruts we get into and it's less about what we're doing than the frame of mind we're doing it in. Yars.

My new fav thing to watch is on Showtime, actually - "United States of Tara" with one of my favorite TV crushes from Sex and the City, John Corbett, and the always fabulous Toni Collette. It’s really clever and interesting and Collette perfectly pulls off the various different personalities she portrays. Oh, guess I should have mentioned, if u haven’t seen it, that it’s about a woman who has Multiple Personality Disorder, although on the show I learned it’s now classified as DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), so see fascist anti-television groups out there, TV is educational. And sometimes, delightfully, funny. I’m going to have to check in with our equally fabulous Blog4Reel judge, Kris Lawrence who moonlights as a TV critic and find out if he approves. I usually get all of my TV recs from him. His column is awesome. Check them out if you get a chance:

Oh and if you want to see the most charming music video (shot in stop-motion), check this out. The song, by Oren Lavie, is also really beautiful:

New Beginnings... although isn't every beginning new? Hmm..

Happy New Year, Bitches!.. um... I mean Bloggers! I can't believe it's '09. Can you? I hope y'all had a beautiful Christmas and New Year. The holidays were VERY relaxing. I can't say I accomplished much. I had intended to work on all these projects, but no, no... that did not happen. But, I'm fine with that. I think that sometimes we Do Do Do so much and we just need to try BE-ING for a while. I made the picture shown above with my friend and fellow blogger, Susan Seydler. I'm completely enchanted with the "light" pics. I have some others I'll try to post later.

Blog4Reel is getting ready to move into the second round of voting here in a couple weeks and I can't wait to see who the top ten are going to be! For more information on specific dates, be sure to check out #7 in our FAQ's:

I'm also happy to announce that we have finally found the perfect web designer for the site, Mark Fergason. This guy is, and I'm being modest, a genius. He knows his ASP coding, which is what the site's designed in. He's also, and this is unusual, a normal guy. :) Most coders have a hard time communicating with laypeople like myself. Not so with Mark. He's not your typical geek. In fact, he doesn't even like your typical geek things like video games and Star Trek, Star Wars and every other film that has the word or an actual "star" in it. It's weird. But good for Blog4Reel. He's already working on adding some new and awesome features and we'll soon be expanding to include other blogs, blogs that aren't really designed for the competition, to the site. We will become a Haven for all Blogs! WHA HA HA HA! Sorry, I got a little over-excited there. :)

This year is going to be a great year, I just know it. My first goal is to get psychotically organized. Yes, me. Organized. It can happen, and it will! First order of business is a new filing cabinet. Whoohoo! Also planning on taking a belly dancing class... which should be fun. Casting for Ekstasis is going pretty well.. have been getting some pretty good responses there. Hopefully I'll find the perfect people for it. I'm sure I will. And finally, our new video, "Ennis Does Halloween" is almost done. Y'all are gonna love it! Or else. Whaahahahahaha......... I think I've drunk too much of Madhatter's (http://www.madhatterstea.com/)hot cocoa today...........
