rather random rambunctious ramblings

in an attempt to write about something other than my weekend blue funk and the whole (unsuccessful) selling of the house thing, i decided to log onto cbc and find out what is might be worthy of writing a blog entry on.

first i was bombarded by star wars crap. so, i thought i'd give you a quick run down of me and my relationship to star wars. i have always enjoyed star wars, but only as cheesy sci fi. i love cheesy sci fi. i never saw the deeper meaning and allegorical yada yada yada, i saw, cheesy sci fi movie. so, i'll be honest here, i have enjoyed episodes 1 and 2 for exactly the same reason. cheesy sci fi. i'm sure that i'll enjoy episode 3 too, again, cheesy sci fi. but i have to admit, i'm pretty bloody sick of hearing about it everywhere i turn (ironic then that i happen to be perpetuating this by blogging about it, but, well, as dalai would say "i'm not hypocritical, i just have double standards") really, seriously people, ENOUGH!

then i move down on the page and notice (beside yet *another* star wars thingy, this time a quiz) a link to a story called "Vinyl Fantasy: a showcase of designer toys". well. that's more like it! as i rub my hands together with anticipatory glee i click the link. as i should have expected, since it is off the cbc site after all (not generally known for their showcasing of smut) it links to a story about toys. you know, little dolls. play things. things that have nothing to do with sex whatsoever. i'm not sure you should be able to combine the words vinyl, fantasy and toys and have it have NOTHING to do with sex. having said all this, the story is interesting and the pictures are pretty cool, so you might want to check it out.

as for the headline "'The Apprentice' to become a stage musical", honestly, i couldn't even bring myself to read that one...

there was lots more there i didn't read, like the commentary on the "Stronach-MacKay split" for instance, didn't bother with that one. really, i figure at this point it's hard enough for them, we don't have to be examining their relationship. i don't know, i guess you sign on for something different when you're in the public eye, but if my partner, the person i live with and share my life with, just left me, and also took up something i didn't believe in, well, i'm pretty sure having everyone and their dog discuss my relationship would be a hell of a lot like rubbing salt into the wound. even the story about mackay campaigning door to door in labrador (can they campaign before an election has been called? - my little update, it's a by-election, i guess it helps if i pay attention to all the details...) dragged he and stronach into it. i gotta say, there is a very big part of me that just wants to scream "LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE!", oh, and shove the star wars quiz up your ass!

*whew* sorry. don't know what happened there. blacked out for a second. i didn't say anything embarrassing did i?

dickey: hope you and nursie are enjoying cancun, snooze: hope you're enjoying NYC, and if anyone else is travelling (i've been a bit remiss in my blog reading the past couple weeks...) hope you're having a grand old time.

night all!
