Random Thoughts

I wonder how the current economy is affecting the farmers of the world. I should Google it...

Strange Conversation Starters

Somebody asked me the other day who I thought was the most influential world leader is. I really had to think about it. In terms of current foreign policy, I would say Obama, strictly because he's working to unify the superpowers and has really embraced the Asian markets--who I feel are the actual superpowers. Sorry USA.

But I would say that historically, I think it would be Queen Victoria or maybe Henry VIII. Because they ruled so many territories in their day it was ridiculous. When you think about the stuff that was under English rule (India, Australia, various strategically placed island nations) it's pretty inspiring.

Icky Match.com

A friend of mine told me that she met her husband years ago on a dating site. So I joined one and have proceeded to meet some of the most low-rent, social deviant bastards on the planet.

A note other singles: people are on dating sites for a reason. And that's because they are horrible people. I am alone for a reason. And that's because I never learned how to play well with others.

I think I need to just learn to be cool with being single. I'm always miserable in relationships, anyway. I always feel like I'm settling. Truthfully, I always am!

Maybe I should just be gay. All the girls who like me are totally cute, educated and well-off. All the guys who like me are broke, short and have questionable hygiene. So there it is. Anthropology at its worst.

From Tears to Laughter

So, I just got through watching My Sister's Keeper. Duuuuuuuude! What the hell???? That movie was so sad. And it was unexpectedly good. The trailers made it look like a bad Hallmark flick. But not the case.

Now, I'm watching Zach and Miri Make a Porno. Opposite end of the spectrum. This movie is hilarious and cool and sexy and awesome. Justin Long is literally the funniest mofo on the planet. And I don't think that's hyperbole, either.

This morning, I interviewed Adrien Brody at the W Hotel. It was for the new movie, Splice. There's a girl in that movie named Delphine--she's French and quite possibly the most beautiful girl on the planet earth. Also got to meet the director--Vincenzo Natali. He commented on my Blonde Redhead t-shirt. He was very cute. VERY.

Anyway, I need to get involved in this movie. I'm seriously about to start crying again. WHEW!
