Goddamn it.
Aug. 26th, 2009 08:04 amTed Kennedy finally passed away.
I'm of three minds about this:
1.) I'm depressed, because he's done some great things in his time. (Some bad things, too, but still.)
2.) I'm happy that at least he's not suffering anymore.
3.) I'm PISSED OFF, because they better change the name of the health care reform bill to the Edward Kennedy Comprehensive Health Care Reform Bill, slam single-payer or the public option into it, and shove that fucking thing so far up Congress's collective ass it makes it that much harder for them to spout bullshit lies out of their singular asses. And if any of those motherfuckers says, "This is a sign from God that he doesn't think we should have health care reform!" -- and my God, how appalling is it that that's a genuine concern in this country? -- I'm going to go to their congressional offices in DC and piss on their desk.
EDIT: You know what I can't stop thinking of right now? Ted Kennedy passed away from brain cancer. The mother of my best friend from high school is on her third recurrence of brain cancer. And she doesn't have the bank account or government-provided health care that Ted Kennedy did. God, I can't even imagine what their hospital bills look like.

I've actually gotten stuff done today.
Aug. 26th, 2009 07:40 pmI've spent the entire day working on scenes for Heroine Addiction, mostly skipping around like I normally do and letting myself make a list of scenes I already have in my head for later anyway, so I may as well write them out. I've only gotten a chance to write one so far, but I've got another hour and a half until the AGT results show, so there's that.
Speaking of, here's the opening act from last night's episode, Ishaara, a Bollywood dance troupe from Berkeley. I've been watching some of their YouTube videos today and they're really fantastic.
Also, Dominick Dunne passed away today. I kinda want to punch Death in the face lately, I swear to God.

True story ...
Aug. 26th, 2009 08:15 pmEver since the new season started, I've been watching episodes and thinking two things:
1.) "Wait, has Gina Bellman gained weight?"
2.) "Why do they keep making Sophie hold big things and giving her closeups and making her stay back at the headquarters?"
And the real reason never ONCE occurred to me until I linkhopped through Wikipedia to her entry today and read, On July 7, 2009 Bellman announced that she is expecting a baby.
... ohhhhh. Okay, that's why. *sheepish grin*
