Sometimes I'm disappointed that Chuck Lorre thought of the production-logo-as-blog thing before I did.
But then I realize I'm probably never going to need a production logo for anything anyway.

What does it say about us when we are simultaneously pro-life and pro AK-47's? What does it say about us when God's will would allow a rapist to ask for shared custody and child support payments? What does it say about us when a black guy's in charge and we say things like "it's time to take America back"? What does it say about us when we think the institution of marriage is threatened by gay people who love each other, but not by idiotic game shows like "The Bachelor"? What does it say about us when we export democracy with Hellfire missiles, then restrict the right to vote here? What does it say about us when we build nuclear submarines to defend against exploding vests? What does it say about us when we think a guy who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, keeps his money offshore, stubs his toe and says "H-E-double hockey sticks" and wears magical underwear can feel our pain? What does it say about us when we demand less government and more FEMA? What does it say about us when we completely forgot the colossal shit storm we were in four years ago?
The answer, my friends, is not blowing in the wind.

Hee hee, the 1200th post on my Tumblr was that thing I reblogged about Joe Biden and transgender rights.
Also, it's hard to believe I've been at my new school almost as long as the old one. I guess because it's so ridiculously easy I haven't been paying attention to it as much and time passes quicker. Not a happy thought.
It's hard to believe I've been at my new sixth form longer than my old one. I lasted a year at my old one, and now I've been at my current one for a year and bit. Freaky. One of the Head's of 6th form even pointed out far I had come since I joined.

Bizarrely, they offer a much better design as an "alternate" for no extra money:
Defiance is the last thing in The Pursuit of Happyness' peanut-brain: "inspired by true events," the story follows the one-scrape-after-another arc required for updating the Job lesson, yet "Trust the System" is rubber-stamped in every slick frame, seconded by the ghost of President Reagan ("we can turn this around," the TV image assures the luckless hero) then clinched by a gust of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." What, no "Ooh Child (Things Are Gonna Get Easier)"?! Things sure did -- the flick's real-life protagonist, Chris Gardner, would eventually updgrade from virtual homelessness to Wall Street millions, though Will Smith plays the character only during his down-on-his-luck stage, the better to warm the hearts of Oscar voters everywhere. Set in San Francisco during the early 1980s (there's a Raging Bull poster tossed in, if you don't believe me), the film has Smith's Gardner lugging around useless medical props, watching over his kid (Jaden Smith, Will's son) after his wife (Thandie Newton, again playing the shrew -- where's the lyricism that Bertolucci and Demme mined?) leaves him, and attending a competitive stock-broker internship while sleeping in subway restrooms. All of it tailor-made for the flossy mawkishness of Italian filmmaker Gabriele Muccino, who nevertheless understands this is Smith's baby -- the central passage has the superstar playacting at being poor as his character employs shuffling cleverness to entertain an audience of old, white folks, which gives you the essence of the picture. Counterfeit emotion and submerged racism are still Happyness in Hollywood.

God dammit.
Now I have to make like six phonecalls, and none of them are going to be to happy people.

The answer, my friends, is not blowing in the wind.
The answer is, "We are fucking crazy."
