Jul. 4th, 2004 02:47 pmSo, just got back from going to see "Spider-Man 2" again. And I guess the Metro's way of celebrating the holiday is to switch all of the trains around and confuse the fuck out of me. The blue line's where the yellow's supposed to be, and there's a dozen orange lines today, and ... er ... I think at least one of those lines goes to Mars or Narnia or something.
I feel like I should do something patriotic, but then again, considering what you have to do to be patriotic these days, I think I'll just watch a movie. Let's see, what do I have that's vaguely patriotic? The American President, U-571 ... I guess I could watch The Day After or the Terminator trilogy but I don't think starting WWIII is patriotic. (Well, not this week, anyway.)
Um, Miracle, maybe? Ugh. I'm horribly indecisive. This is going to take a while.
In any event, happy birthday, America. I got you a card, but it's stained with loathing and contempt for your leaders.

Not that I did that or anything.

Um, yeah. And it's a patriotic movie.

. . . I feel as though I should be able to place your icon. But I'm really drawing a blank right now. Who is it?

Date: 2004-07-05 02:55 pm (UTC). . . is it bad that I read the "Legolas Signs With Red Wings" story and immediately thought "Hmm, a 6'2", 200 lb right wing . . . we could really use him?"
*weeps for the beauty of it all*
