Ghost

We watched the new(er) documentary about Joe Strummer last night. The Future is Unwritten. I love documentaries. I really loved Joe Strummer, with that intense sort of fan girl love that makes me inarticulate. It would have been a great film without all the commentary from people like Bono, John Cusack, and Johnny Depp. Oh, and Anthony and Flea from the Chili Peppers. Wretch. I was so annoyed by the pontificating from so many people so far up their own asses that I couldn't just enjoy the footage of Joe and his music. Let's Rock Again was a far better Strummer movie, poignant and wonderful, without all the posthumous cocksucking.

Lazy weekend ahead, for the most part. Youngest son has decided he wants to be a Cheeto for Halloween. Strange choice, but he's my strange son. The cool fall weather that I wait for every year has finally arrived! This makes me very happy.

John and I voted yesterday. It did my heart good to look around the polling place and see that there were plenty of us there who were obviously not voting Republican. I live in a very, very Republican county even for Texas so this was really heartening and amazing to see. I think the numbers from my state may not be quite what everyone is expecting this year, not that McPain won't win Texas, but I'm hoping that we'll at least manage to make a statement of some sort with a closer margin than what's been predicted. Local elections will benefit greatly from the larger numbers of us long haired liberal types and that's fanfuckingtastic! I'm ready for the revolution to begin.

All sorts of changes are on the horizon, almost all of them good even as they are uncertain.
