Launch just got me to see I Heart Huckabees, and I'll be derned if that ain't a fantastic flick. That's the type of movie that makes you feel good about life, makes you want to be a better person, makes you want to sucker punch your fellow man with all of the best intentions. If you haven't gotten around to watching it, haven't felt like watching, or have never even heard of it, I suggest you pop on down to yer local movie hut and pick up a copy. You'll smile, you'll laugh, you might even grimace.
Now, with all this hope and inspiration welling up in my heart, it'sa time to go to bed. I'll feel cynical again on the morrow.

TeaParty, that's a curious coincidence: Talon is on a trip to China at this moment and is due back on July 22. I've stopped checking in to the HHG every time I sign on. I will do that now even if it is to leave a message on the Social and go chant on the chanting thread. I still have not made a complete trip through Earthbound. sweatdrop I'm just not much of a gamer, but I need to stay in touch with it to be there for ChiA.

It's good to have both of you around, Ani & Tea.
As for China, I don't know much about China. I just don't hear about it, y'know. It's very mysterious.

I could make some sort of blatantly racist joke right now but I'm not going to. It would of course be joking, but what the hell. I don't know much about China either. Hmm, what are folks in the Happy Happy Cult/Guild doing for fourth of July? I'm free... sadly. I normally have the day planned, but if anyone round Ashland is free, send me a PM, I'll be around.
{Insert joke about Bush, America, Ninjas, cheese, and a goat}
Goats are cool. They always try to attack my knees though.
emo <<- Haha, this emoticon makes me laugh. The emo subculture of being depressed has reached this. Wow.
Also: The Ninjas, cheese and goats... You're not supposed to understand.
Hell, I don't even understand. burning_eyes
Eh, good to see more folksies. Welcome back Ani and Tea!

Thanks, Anuminus. biggrin I'm also alone for the fourth. I'd love to be in Ashland to keep you company. I'm a bit house bound at the moment. I need some serious internal surgery and had planned to have it done after the family 4th of july trip, but I caught a flue just before I was supposed to see the second surgeon involved. The same flue threw me off course with the PhotoShop course I was enrolled in this summer. The surgery still needs to be done, but whether I can have it done this summer and be through convalescing before my Fall Semester starts remains to be seen. Any way I freaked out about the whole thing and needed some serious R&R. Traveling is difficult for me so I stayed at home.
Incidentally, China and India will open the Silk Road soon setting in motion a implicit trade agreement. See BBC World News. Now, that would interest Talon!

Happy Independence Day, everybody! At least everybody in America, and a belated hoot for everyone up in Canada. Now go get drunk and blow stuff up, you filthy patriots.
And to appease Launcher's white text appetite: Fire, fire burn! Level the towns! Destroy the cities! Dismantle the hypocritical pseudo capitalistic oligarchy!
POWER TO THE PROLETARIAT!

Foist off, I dern well hate the web because it hinders my majestic sense of sarcasm. Second, despite the loathing I occasionally (read: whenever I watch the news) feel towards our leaders, I do love this country quite a bit. The more I learn of the hardships facing the world on the whole, I revel in the differences I am allowed to inspire here. Mmm, that's good freedom.
Living here also allots me the liberty to destroy the Earth without guilt, but I digress.
P.S. Read me white text on the previous post. That's good socialism.

Ahh, well I'm not a patriot, I don't particularly like or hate the U.S.A., aside from the fact that I like not having to work in a field for 12 hurs a day farming, and that I dislike having to pay dearly for having to luive in Southern California. I think I'm going to move once I'm out of college.
Second, I'll try to be back as much as possible, but I don't know what that means. I'm busy trying to get a job at game crazy (which I have a second interview for in a couple hours), the renaissance guild I belong to is breaking apart, and my friiend and I are desperetly trying to piece it back together. And I'm trying to teach myself Russian. I think that covers the basics.

Ah, I am glad to be back in a guild where literacy and writing are common expressions of posting. sweatdrop I'll stay if just for that. I pray that Oregon will not become a paper mill, but the timber is already being sold to the Japanese. I fight as an environmentalist, as well, and I trained as one in my grduate work. There is a lot to love in the USA, both physical and spiritual, but there are people without souls who are trying to sell all of us and our country. I am sick of downsizing and jobs of hard working professionals like myself and my husband loosing half of what we own each time the biomedical product my husband researches, designs, creates the software for becomes a product and is sold of to a producer of the product and the scientist that went with it discarded by both seller and buyer. I'm looking at a less and less secure retirement if it is forced on us. I've worked with street people and I expect to be one in the end.

@Ani (I didn't want to waste space quoting a hefty paragraph) - I know what you mean. I dislike where everything is heading, however at the same time, I find myself more and more ready to be involved in it. It's like shopping at Wal-Mart. You know that every time you shop there, you're practically torturing a malysian kid, but where else are you going to find socks for so cheap? Industries nowadays don't leave me much of a choice (cheap excuse, I know). Still, I would like to enter the video game industry and flex my creativity, so I don't think that has as negative an effect on the environment.

Good luck, SaferSaturnX! There are things we can't change and when money is tight, you have to buy Chinese or sweatshop. It's only those who have money that can buy the "EcoTrend" stuff. It's high fashion stuff in clothing and way too expensive for furniture, but I still pay more for better cleaning products and organic fresh produce. We can still afford those. And, I teaching myself to buy less. My art supplies don't go through my eco-test. I need them to make my career and use my creativity. But I send at least a fax or an email everyday to let the big people what I want this government to do.
