Rick and Colin

I recently learned that one of my media crushes, Rick Spence, has been replaced as host of HGTV’s “Curb Appeal.” This is an outrage! What’s next – Patrick Norton leaving “The Screen Savers”? Even the thought of it makes me a little light-headed.

On top of that now come reports that Angelina Jolie has taken Colin Farrell off the market, at least for the next five minutes or so. Angelina and Colin met on the set of “Alexander the Great,” where she plays his *mother.* (I know she’s not his real mother, but still, ick.)

At least in Colin’s case, I have faith that he’ll make his way ’round to me, eventually.

Fight Club

Feeling pretty pessimistic about the state of the world, frankly. The turkey stunt in Iraq, people popping out of the woodwork to affirm why I’m not an equal member of society, the usual bile over at Dean Esmay – stuff like this is getting me down. I know it’s all small stuff. I know I should just shut out the right-wingers and concentrate on what’s good and what I can do. But it’s hard. I feel really angry. I also feel like I’ve lived in “the bubble” for too long, so I don’t think ignoring people like Sean Hannity and Dean Esmay is going to be a good long-term strategy.

The real trick is, figuring out the best way to fight. We didn’t start this fight, but we better win it.
