I was watching tv last night instead of going to bed. Just about the

time I thought I had enough and wanted to head to bed, I came across

Jeepers Creepers on cable.


I had seen commercials for it when it came out and thought it was going to be crap. I love (love love love)

horror, scary, and thriller movies. I like when they are creepy, make

me tense up and stay that way for the next 90 minutes. If my heart can

skip a beat or two, that is all the better. When the Creeper drove up

on the brother and sister in their car that piqued my interest- decent

level of creepy. When they drove past the guy and the sewage pipe, and

saw what he was doing...and he saw them... oh, that was a deliciously high level of creepy.





It was really late and I tried to stay up and finish it, but Con was

trying to watch it and I could barely keep my eyes open. Tonight there

was nothing on tv. I assume there was some sort of sport thing

(football?) and I wanted no part of that. I went and rented Jeepers

Creepers and had my sister watch it with me.


Gina Philips and Justin Long both gave really good performances,

certainly better than I would expect from a horror movie. The psychic

having to come in and provide the background info was a bit awkward.

The Creeper was much scarier when he was barely able to been seen than

when they gave the close ups of him toward the end.


The ending was not what I wanted or what I expected, and for that

reason, it was a very good ending. It was certainly not the usual

horror movie cliche ending.

The New York Times killed a story that could have changed the election—because it could have changed the election

"In the weeks leading up to the November 2 election, the New York Times was abuzz with excitement. Besides the election itself, the paper’s reporters were hard at work on two hot investigative projects, each of which could have a major impact on the outcome of the tight presidential race.

One week before Election Day, the Times (10/25/04) ran a hard-hitting and controversial exposé of the Al-Qaqaa ammunition dump—identified by U.N. inspectors before the war as containing 400 tons of special high-density explosives useful for aircraft bombings and as triggers for nuclear devices, but left unguarded and available to insurgents by U.S. forces after the invasion.

On Thursday, just three days after that first exposé, the paper was set to run a second, perhaps more explosive piece, exposing how George W. Bush had worn an electronic cueing device in his ear and probably cheated during the presidential debates."

Now.. everyone that wasn't completely blind and a total sheep saw this and it was all over the blogs everywhere. Bush is so insecure, and rightly so, of his ability to speak in public, or have a debate where he doesn't look like a complete moron or liar, and cheated in attempt to mask this. The administration ran damage control and censor the story and rebutted the story as one of "conspiracy buffs"

Now onto the budget issue:

Bush's budget plan is going to really hit hard the very oor saps that came out in droves in the heartland with the purpose of voting to make sure those dirty dirty homosexuals didn't get the chance to get married and somehow make the marriages of heterosexuals not as valid.  The American heartland.   Bush's budget would reduce subsidies paid to farmers, cut health programs for poor people and veterans and trim spending on the environment and education.  Serves us/them right for voting such a ridiculous excuse for a president into office.  I want to scream everytime I think about the fact that a country that has such a ridiculous marriage record that we do, where people get married and divorced in a matter of months is full of people who are of the same sex are going to make a mockery of marriage more than the heteros already do. Bush took our in the black budget and in a matter of a few years put us so far in the red, I cannot fathom that I will see a balanced budget in my lifetime. His proposed budget has nothing in it regarding Iraq or social security.  What the hell? isn't that all he talked about during the campaign?

I'd like for each of you to post a picture of your lovely selves in the comments section of this post. I'd also like for you to recommend one of your LJ friends that you think I would get along with and vice versa. Oh, and another thing: If you suggest someone to me, please let them know that I'm coming so they'll know who the hell I am!
