Yesterday was dense with meetings at work; the evening i was a lump before the video box. I understand why, at least, and the transient low has passed.

Christine's now ready for me to stop analyzing Avatar. I guess i am, too, but last night's watching of "Fern Gully" feeds my critique. My FB status regarding the film (since that's where i mainly interacted around the film yesterday):
P-C suggested i watch "Fern Gully" after watching "Avatar." Um, wow. Fascinating how similar the two movies are. Avatar: technically superior and NO MUSICAL NUMBERS. Fern Gully: better ending that escapes the "savior" fantasy, passes Bechdel test with stronger female lead character. Mixed feelings about Tim Curry's singing oil character.

Fruitcake arrival day! My wheat exceptions for this holiday will be the fruitcake and the imported mincemeat tarts.

Oh my, looking about for some nopales (cactus) advice i found this blog: http://tazadechocolate.blogspot.com/ It's delightful! Breakfast egg and lunch black beans both benefitted. Now to buy more. And talk my parents into planting some on their fence line.

Politics: i'm furious at the Nelson language crap in the health care bill. The whole health care thing makes me steam whenever i look at if for five minutes. I have this, "Ugh, i'm going to become a libertarian," reaction when confronted with the sausagy chaos of the whole process. Intellectually i know i do not believe libertarian principles will improve the country and the world, but i know i'm not fighting the good fight. Some guilt is mixed in with the utter irritation.
