<p>I don't really do much lately but start short stories that I don't finish, and job hunt. And it's mostly the latter. Times are kind of simple. Hunter's friend Ben brought the screener of this movie over the other day and I really appreciate that he did. It's the best film I have seen all year. Thank you Sweden.</p>

My boyfriend loves this about me. I can't help it if I know everything right away. I used to be a reader. When I was a kid I would sit under a maple tree and finish a whole Mary Higgins Clark novel in an hour, then go swing on the monkey bars forever. My parents had the perfect kid. Who has time for that now? I just want to read the New York Times online for ten minutes, get bored and then watch tv forever. I'm half the woman I was when I was ten. I know this.</p>
<p>But I'm not immature, I've been through some shit. I can remember sitting on my friend's bedroom floor when I was fifteen while she tried to drive a needle through my nose to make room for a nose ring. It hurt pretty bad regardless of the ice and the vodka, and the stress of her mother walking into the room. I'm now 31, with lots of life experience like that. And it looks pretty clear to me, to my well-trained eye, like this chic carved a backwards B into her own face. I don't have to be a scientist, or a reader, to figure that out.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.virginiaeddie.com/storage/ashley todd.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1224876079933" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>And when I say she did it herself, I mean she had some little white geek do it for her. She claims a giant black man did it. But that's not true. I know this for a fact because if you were attacked by a 6 foot 4 black man, I really don't think he would ask you to sit on his knee while he took out his army knife to widdle a nice little stencil on your face, in front of a bank camera. Give me a break! Also, that black and blue eye is nothing compared to what he would have given you. Your face would be broken. Broken. I'm not speaking from experience of having been in a fight with a giant black guy. You know why, because really big huge black guys don't go around attacking white girls. They'd&nbsp; rather smoke pot, or go to college, or be famous celebrities. But they don't care about you Ashley Todd. As a matter of fact they avoid you like the plague.</p>
<p>See Ashley, I've read "To Kill a Mockingbird." Obviously you were <em>never</em> a reader. So I'm at least a little bit better than you. I'm pretty sure that every black man in America knows you don't attack white women in this country without suffering the wrath of white America. You don't even <em>not</em> attack white women without suffering the wrath.</p>
<p>So thanks for sharing your picture Ashley Todd. It's good to know what you and your creepy little republican boyfriend do while practicing abstinence on a Thursday night. Good to know. And if you're trying to blame Big Black from Rob &amp; Big, you can just step off. Because we all love him.</p>

But now, whenever I feel jealous of her shiny clothes and cake-walk job, I can  think of this clip. She really gets to talk to all the stars! Henry Kissinger who's apparently deaf now and probably meant to go the DNC,and Stephen Baldwin. What a treat?! Apparently she sold her soul to the republican party and there is no getting it back once you're caught on camera kissing the other Baldwin's ass. Speaking of which, you can actually watch this clip and hear the snipping of family ties: John Voight and Angelina Jolie, "snip."

It's not that I have&nbsp;to defer my student loans at 31 years old.&nbsp;It's not that my boyfriend and I don't leave the apartment on the weekends because we are afraid we'll spend money. It's not that we argue over nothing because we're stressed. It's not even that I can't visit my family when I want because plane tickets are expensive and&nbsp;time off&nbsp;hard to find. It's not even that my father, bull-headed and middle class, tied to FOX news every night,&nbsp;refuses to even consider voting democratic.&nbsp;It's not that Cindy McCain only flies around Arizona on her private plane. It's the neglect. The neglect the Republicans have given the people for 8 years. And the attention they've given to troops they order to tear down a society that was not behind the 9/11 attacks. Sure yeah, I hate Saddam, let's kill him. But that's not the person who attacked us and there are tyrant dictators all over the globe.</P>
<P>It's the unvanquished Taliban. The older I&nbsp;get the more I realize what a tragedy the last&nbsp;8 years&nbsp;were. And now that I'm aware, the more I read&nbsp;about this group's doings the more I cringe. I cannot be sharing the same air as these "people".&nbsp;Just look at this article: <A href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4675361.ece">http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4675361.ece</A>.&nbsp;Here they are dressed in the clothes of the French men they killed, taking pictures. Barack has made a promise to find them. Bush and McCain harp on Iraq still after all of these years while these monsters rape and pillage&nbsp;all over Afghanistan. A fading economy and a mass murderer roaming free. 8,000 troops to Afghanistan? All of our troops to Afghanistan. It doesn't matter. If McCain/Palin wins I'm moving to Brazil. This is no longer the country my parents taught me to love. This will cease to be a country I can be proud of and in all honesty, I don't want to share a country where the majority likes someone like Palin. And it's not that people even like her, they just refuse to take the time to read about her. I used to be the same way.&nbsp;But after 8 years of this and a collapsing economy? Come on! How lazy can you be? If you're not sure, vote Barack. If you're positive you want McCain/Palin, tell me why. I have a sneaking suspicion that the republicans and the Taliban are in kahoots.</P>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.virginiaeddie.com/journal/rss-comments-entry-2251536.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>I Want My Brady Back</title><dc:creator>VirginiaEddie</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:38:24 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.virginiaeddie.com/journal/2008/9/8/i-want-my-brady-back.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">161133:1512967:2247518</guid><description><![CDATA[<P><span class=full-image-block><span><img src="http://www.virginiaeddie.com/storage/brady-injury-ap-080907.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1220917190124"></span></span>Really?
