And the winner is...

I don't know. Somehow I managed to miss all of the good movies this year. That is one of the great advantages to living in a country where content of films is banned and no one wants to go to the good movies anyway since they will have sex and kissing and that will be cut out.
I did see a lot of movies this year though. I still think Ratatouille was one of the best ones of the year and maybe should have been nominated for best pictures. It should win the best animated feature but who cares. That is a crappy category. I don't like it when they pigeonhole good films.
I have been watching a tv show called "Action" which is about life of the Hollywood producer. They really are horrible people. It is just a movie at the end of the day. They get worked up for so little. That is one reason I can not see for getting into film. That and lack of talent.
Well happy Oscar. I don't know who is going to win but I will get up early and watch anyway.

The Year of the Rat Reading 1: King David

A few years ago I went to the Holy Lands. Wanted to go back and before I did I bought this book. It has taken me forever to read it. I liked it though. It tells the story of David from shepherd to dying day. Actually, I guess I could have just read the Bible. But I still like reading books by the author, Jonathan Kirsch. His books deal with the Bible. I read his biography of Moses and "The Harlot by the side of the road." Mostly his books shock people, because they have never read the Bible and they always assume it is all full of goody goody stuff. Trust me it isn't. The Bible is a mixed bag of history, fable, tall tales, prophecies, poems and murder and incest. It is too amazingly fantastic and telling to be totally made up. That is why I like it. The Jews of old rocked! They were killing and fucking like no one else. All of them. Even the good ones. I guess that is why when I was little, I got a little Children's Bible. Noah had a ark (and walked around drunk unclothed). David had his slingshot (and was screwing someone else's wife). Moses gave us the Ten Commandments (and glowed in the dark). Sure Soloman didn't cut up that baby. He was too relaxed after banging all of his concubines. That's why it is still the world's most popular book. Read it sometime and find out.
Until then, enjoy the year of the Rat!!!

Barack and Roll

Well Obama keeps winning. This just means that my disappointment will be all the worst. His speeches really inspire me. And then I have to see the Cackling Queen going on with her hideous face and laugh. It sickens me somehow.
Boy I hope Obama can win.

Year of the Rat

Welcome to the Year of the Rat. It has been here for a few days. I guess I will start adding books that I have been reading sometime in the near future.
Well enjoy your rat-filled days.
