Shot Full of Holes
So. I'm about due for one of these, I guess. Dudes, check it. Boston got dumped on with snow. It's ridiculous, but... we were due for one of those, too, I guess. Let's just hope that the rest of February is all wintery and then as sooon as March rolls around it will all get warm and maybe THIS YEAR we'll actually have more than a day of Spring time! Is it wrong that I can't wait for Summer weather to come back? Is it worse that I've been saying that since Fall?
Dick Cheney killed a man! Alright, okay... he shot a man (who did not die) in the face with a pellet gun. Still. Cheney uses guns? Since when? He's not dead? The man seriously never gets any press because he's never at anything important nor does he seem to have any say in anything important. I kinda feel for him. The only time he gets any press is when something awful happens to him. Like, when he has all those heart attacks and hospital visits... or, when he shoots a man in the face with a pellet gun while hunting for quail. (I'm sensing a hospital conspiracy theory) And how did that happen, anyway? Was he aiming for a quail... while some dude jumped in front of his gun? Or did he not have the safety on? Should I have read the entire article on it? Probably all of the above, or none of the above. Maybe the dude just has a lot of pent up rage. Maybe he just wanted to say he shot a man in the face. .. even if it was with a pellet gun.
My brother and I used to collect BBs. We didn't have a BB gun. But man, some of those BBs were really pretty to look at when in a jar.
Check it. For my film studies class we've got this director coming in tomorrow. We've been studying only him for the entirety of the semester ... and he sucks. Jon Jost. Sucks. He's a pretentious dude. Forgive me for hating pretentious dudes, but I hate them. And he's coming to our class tomorrow. And we're supposed to ask him questions. And all I want to do is berate him for dedicating his life to art that doesn't really speak to anybody, but that he thinks should. So I think I might ask him this: "How do you expect your audiences to respond to your work?" which basically equates to "What are you trying to say? Do you really think people care?" which equates to "Why are you doing this?" which equates to "What have you done with your life?" which equates to "Do you realize how lame you are?"
I think that should go over really well. My guess is that nobody is going to ask him anything. All 16 of us are just gonna sit in that tiny little room and stare at Jost, who will awkwardly stare back, hands clasped, asking "any questions? anybody?" And we'll all avoid eye contact so that he doesn't call on us. And it will be awesome. It's gonna be Valentine's Day. Maybe I should ask him if he'll write ANOTHER painstakingly slow/awkward movie about how men and women are incompatible and void of communication skills and naive and broken inside and end it in the dude killing himself or dying like he always does. And maybe he'll call it "V-Day Massacre." But it will look just like "Slow Moves" or "Sure Fire" or "Rembrandt Laughing" or.. "Last Chants for a Slow Dance." Why doesn't he ever kill off the ladies? Not as profound? Hm. Pretentious? Yes. Take THAT, Jon Jost!
Did you know that they denounced Pluto as a planet in our solar system? Did you know THEY CAN DO THAT?! I'm seriously dumbfounded. I mean, sure he might be small, but... he's like the Rudy of the Solar System. You can't just kick him off the team for being a little smaller and more distant than the rest of the gang. He's still got heart!! You scientists don't know anything about planetary love. I still believe in you, Pluto. Hang in there. Don't do anything crazy. My friend Winslow and I have decided to make a support group. He gets the credit for the acronym: P.I.M.P. = Pluto Is My Planet. We're gonna make T-shirts. It's already a done deal. We will make millions.
Save Pluto.
