Got this new XBOX game I tried to play last night. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Looks really cool, and the voice of the King is Patrick Stewart. It has spells casting and all this other nifty shit. Unfortunately, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do anything with it. I suppose it’ll come with time. Maybe. I’m kind of an old fart, and this shit doesn’t come automatically to me, the way it does with the young folks. I may just have to call in sick for a few days, to figure it all out.

So, I was watching this movie on Sundance last night called Adam & Paul. The description reads, “Two addicts encounter lowlifes while trying to find drugs in Dubin, Ireland,” so it appealed to me on several different levels. Just a funny goddamn movie. I love the way the Irish say fuck. “Fook.” And there’s a lot of fookin’ sayin’ fook in this fookin’ movie, let me tell ya. Plus, the one addict sounded just like the guy in the wheelchair from Little Britain.

Of course, like any move about addicts, it’s ultimately very sad, too. I don’t know if there’s anything more sad than what addiction does to people. I’ve, personally, known some excellent people destroyed by it. I count myself lucky that I wasn’t destroyed by addiction or compulsion or whatever you want to call it. I never quite became addicted to anything (not physically, anyway, except for cigarettes, which aren’t good for you, of course, but they are legal). Shows you what a stupid system we have.

Anyhow, have a good fookin’ Wednesday.

Oh, and fook Bush! And Cheney, go fook yourself.
