I'll congratulate Cate Blanchett but not Atonement. 

Seriously, what the hell.  It's all right, though.  Historically, I have often disagreed with the Golden Globes and their globalized, British-based Hollywood distribution system.

Other breaking news: Panic! at the Disco is now Panic at the Disco.  Our local newspaper, whose entertainment section is called Ground Zero and has been for quite some time, is now battling random middle-aged women who think that Ground Zero is such an inappropriate name that they throw away that part of the newspaper without looking at it.  Europe is over-fishing Africa's coasts to the point that local economies can no longer function, thus resulting in African migrants illegally flooding Europe, a trip that is statistically fatal to 1/5 of them.  A romance novelist (Cassie Edwards) accused of plagiarism has defended herself by saying she did not know how to cite her sources. 

I only have five days before I have to go back to school, and the ol' unsettled nausea's coming back.  I am not ready to get back into that rut.

In other words, a bad day all around, and only ten in the morning too.

Stephen King's words are actually the only ones I remember, although other authors spin better stories in better ways, overall. 

[some are phrases, some are just words.]

The Shining:  "redrum"
It:  "He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts"
Storm of the Century:  "give me what I want and I'll go away" and "my name is legion, for we are many" [which is biblical, I know, but Stephen King introduced it to me]
The Nightflier:  "Dwight Renfield... flew in from Derry... nice fella... different... said he was flying out tonight... said he'd stop to say goodbye."
Jerusalem's Lot:  "there are SOME rats in these walls!"
Dreamcatcher:  "same shit, different day." [SSDD for short]
Pet Sematary:  "the ground there is stonier than a man's heart" and "sometimes, death is a blessing."

My mother had a slasher moment today, by accident.  We were at an Indian restaurant and we looked up at a tapestry and she said, "Oh, it's... Rama and Krishna, right?"  And then rapidly corrected herself: "Rama and Sita, I mean."  It made me wonder if yaoi fangirls (some of my friends have worse terms for them) ever ship mythological figures... some of them, Krishna in particular, seem like they could be bisexual.  I'm guessing not.  I suppose that would be boring... or perhaps, they are just not hot enough, those deities.
