Random mutterings

My friend had to call a computer support line last week, and her “handler” sent her an e-mail wanting to start communicating. Is this weird? Yes, he’s in India.

I've been having vivid dreams with night sweats lately. I was just about to get a call from Quentin Tarantino the other night until my alarm went off. What does that usually mean (the sweats, not QT)?

My quickie take on the immigration thing: no one is entitled to be above the laws in any country.

What summer movie are you most looking forward to? I think Poseidon (this week), DaVinci Code (next week) and X-Men (Memorial weekend) have great potential, but my biggest anticipation is Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (starring my Man Sandwich or Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp).

I’m in a holding pattern with regards to work load, so I’ve found the time to blog. I've discovered that Internet surfing is okay when its management’s decision not to give you work so that the client you were hired to work with can use as much of you as she wants…whenever that time comes. The more subtle your blog's design, the easier it is for me to look like I’m on a business-related site (unlike one of my favorite dark bloggers, Mr. Nocturnal).

When will religious groups learn that the more they protest a movie, the more likely people will be curious to see what its about? I wonder if Passion of the Christ would’ve done half its business without the extra publicity. The latest is the upcoming release of DaVinci Code.

I went to The Today Show website to look for something I’d seen on the show, only to discover that there’s a “How Good is Your Pap Smear Knowledge” Test. I’m very pleased to report that I received a 100% score.

Apparently, the cast of The West Wing reneged on doing an hour-long special prior to the series finale this Sunday b/c they weren’t offered enough money. Uh…how ungrateful can a bunch of people-that-were-no-namers-before-this-show-even-started-be? Tacky.

In effort to decide whether Lorelai actually slept with Christopher on the season finale of Gilmore Girls, how many of you men would have sex with a woman and then put on a t-shirt and boxers to sleep in, while the woman remained naked in the bed?

I recorded Oprah today for her send-off for the cast of Will & Grace. She actually uttered (in context of a relief effort on the part of one of the castmembers before taping each show), "Poop is so clean, isn't it?" Now, can't you see someone cross-stitching that for bathrooms everywhere?
