No Country For Old Men RULES!

What a great weekend! Heather and I just took it easy and let the snow melt around us. We toyed with the idea of making a snow man after Friday's blizzard, though were seduced by the siren song of a warm couch. Once it warmed up, we walked downtown where we found a nice teahouse, read in the library, viewed ducks scurry on the ocean, finally figured out whatt structure the lighthouse was attached to (water works), and then when Sunday came around we in for a treat!

We had a nice little party last night at home, wherein the neighbors from downstairs, Liz and Seamus, who are also recently married, came up to our apartment and played cards with us, drank some wine and teas, watched the Oscars and shared in some very nicely cooked homemade calamari. Yes, I cook squid.

I'm very happy that No Country For Old Men won in the important categories, because it was just an amazing movie that I hope to see again. Those Cohen brothers are all right.

Best Show Ever

So Mitt's dropped out leaving McCain as the front runner, a man who by my account should have beat Bush in 2000, but wasn't smart enough to play as dirty as Bush did. So 8 years later, McCain is 72 years old and if he does win 2 terms in office, will be 80 by the time he leaves. Hope he chooses a good VP, but he'll probably choose Huckabee to carry the South, which is evidently full of people who don't believe in evolution, which is evidently the devil.

Of course, I'm sure a democrat will win this November, and I think it will be a tight race still, which worries me because that means that a large chunk of people in this country think we're doing a great job in the world, and that 8 years of Republican "leadership" and Democratic milquetoasts have not made us worse off than we were on January 20, 2000.

Excellent.
