I hate admitting this, but I like Jim Belushi's body.
Now no one can accuse me of holding anything back in my journal.

Yay! I just found out two of my favourite bands - R.E.M. and Radiohead - are both in the studio working on new albums! Woo-hoo!

Headline of the day, from Toronto Metro: "Grandpa shoots terror squirrel".

Pet peeve of the day: When a second sequel to a movie comes out, the filmmakers (and several members of the entertainment press) suddenly call the three movies a trilogy, as if it was meant to be three movies all along. It's pretty silly when they later come out with a fourth movie. (Case in point: the Indiana Jones 'trilogy'; they're planning #4 as we speak.)
(I realize no one but me cares about this stuff, but it's my journal, so what are you gonna do about it? Oh yeah, you could stop reading. Shit.)

Yay!! Steve Martin will be hosting the Oscars again! Hosts over the last ten years or so have had their moments, but he was the best. As for Whoopi, she should be permanently banned from that show.

You know that ancient bit of wisdom, "You can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends"? Well, after what I experienced on the subway this morning, I'm thinking it should be the other way around...

An interesting development at work. Last July I had an incident with our IT guy making some homophobic comments. When I confronted him and told him I was gay he was quite contrite, but I was never convinced that he realized his wrongdoing. Well ever since then (except for an awkward period following our chat) he's been extra nice to me, and he seems to be making a point of showing me he's not homophobic. A few days ago he pointedly mentioned that a 'very attractive guy' came to the office looking for my colleague. And today he winked at me. I shouldn't jump to any conclusions, but I feel as though I helped him see that gay people are human beings. That makes me feel good. Of course I realize that not anyone would derive that lesson from such an incident, which means that this guy deserves some credit.

I would like to apologize to readers of this blog. My entries have been infrequent and mostly uninspired lately. The tide ebbs and flows. Let us all hold hands and profess our faith that this public journal will soon be interesting to read again.
