Congrats, Geoffry Rush!
And you gave the best speech of the night!
From IMDB.com:
"The Tonys telecast saw Geoffrey Rush become the 17th actor to win the "triple crown" (Oscar, Emmy, Tony), when he received the award for best lead actor in a play (Exit the King). He had received the Emmy for his title-role performance in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers four years ago."

Drugs in tires
It's true, before you cross they knock on your tires. I guess it's a common form of drug smuggling. Anyone who knows me knows I'm extremely anti-drug! I've never even smoked a cigarette.
Border Patrol seizes 108 pounds of pot
11:02 a.m. June 3, 2009

The seizure took place around 11:15 a.m. at the Interstate 8 checkpoint after agents used a mobile X-ray machine to find the hidden drugs, officials said.
The driver, a 32-year-old man who is a Mexican citizen, was arrested.

Rubio's
One of the joys of being in Mexico is NOT speaking the language and therefore not overhearing inane conversations. I'm at Rubio's at the Carlsbad Mall listening to a bunch of dumb white yuppies chatter on about nothing. At least if they were speaking Spanish I could imagine they were discussing something important. Can a white person be racist against white people? Is that possible? I've been here for three hours and these are words I HAVEN'T heard: Iraq, bankruptcy,General Motors, Obama, missing airplane...
Instead we get this...
"Daddy said, "don't get them a treat cause they haven't been good."
"How much is the massage?"
"We just went home and cooked and then left. It was no big deal. I don't know why he got all upset."
"hello, ok...uh, huh, ok....yeah, yeah...ok so,,,oh you mean the tires.? ok....i take that route everyday..."
Empty Mall
After seeing Drag Me to Hell I was literally dragged to hell by an asshole mall cop who stopped me in the parking lot and asked why I was taking pics of the mall.
Me: You're joking, right?
Asshole: You can't take pics of the mall. You have to delete them
Me: You're joking right?
Asshole: We aren't joking? Don't make us call the NCPD.
Me: Call 'em. Tell 'em to bring a search warrant so they can go in my phone and delete them. And tell them to bring a hacker cause my phone is passworrd protected. You're a fucking fool.
Asshole: Why are you raising your voice.
Me: Are you gonna call 'em or can I leave now.
Asshole: You're not being detained. Actually you're trespassing.
Me: I'm trespassing???? Oh my God! That is HILARIOUS! I bought a movie ticket. I'm trespassing? You're a joke.
So, I walk to my car and he proceeds to follow me and write down my license plate, then he pretends to call National City Police Dept. So I get out of my car and say, "Did you really call? Should I wait? Cause I would LOVE to see what they say about someone taking pics of a public mall and trespassing by leaving a movie to go to my car.
He doesn't respond.
Me: Let's finish this. Call 'em up, you fucking fool.
He continues to walk away. End of scene! Ridiculous.
So enjoy these pics of this empty mall. In a few years, it probably won't even be here. American malls are dying. It's true. And idiot mall cops who alienate customers aren't helping the situation.

Bullfights on TV
beyond my comprehension. I caught this fight while I was having lunch
and at one point the bull knocked down the fighter and pummeled him.
The matador got up with a very bloody face and ripped clothing. Good
for the bull. It's a very disturbing sport.

Pride blind the foolish.
A damning quote that hit me hard and rang true...
"First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish."
The whole article, that I don't completely agree with is here. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/
Drag Me to Hell is a thrill!
theatres cause the one I was in was filled with assholes laughing,
talking back, making jokes, etc. So I left and went in to another
theatre and rewatched the first half hour but the audience wasn't much
better. Sad! Stupid American kids with no upbringing, manners or
awareness of others REALLY depress me!! But it's a fun movie! Go see
it, just avoid the pathetic crowds in National City! And why can't
these theater owners do checks to make sure audiences are behaving????
If you're selling a movie-going experience then you should at least
make sure that a few assholes aren't ruining the movie for the rest of
us.

Cool Floor
a queen designed this floor.
Only in Mexico
10 but he said 5 dollars per song. But we held to 3 for 10 and he
agreed, took the money, they did two songs and left. Oh well. But the
guy in the middle was awesome. And we were the ONLY people in the
place. Parts of Mexico feel like a ghost town from those great Clint
Eastwood westerns. The swine flu and American economy are seriously catastrophic
for Mexico. America will recover but Mexico...things don't look good.
"Drag Me to Hell at 11:15."
theatre. Huge screens, no obstructed views, no seats too close to the
screen and the ticket taker is hot. And they show movies late like
11:15 and 11:45; perfect for a night owl like me. I also really enjoy
saying the words, "drag me to hell at 11:15." Im hoping it becomes a
new national phrase one says instead of, "well I'll be damned", or
"that's unbelievable!" or , "well EXCUSE me!" Instead, let's start
saying, "Drag me to hell at 11:15!" It's sort of catchy.

Crazy Court!
I woke up to an insane-whacked-out-crazy-batshit ruling. "Gay marriage is illegal except for "special" gays." Hilarious! I'd be angry if I wasn't laughing so hard. Imagine these rulings: "Women can vote but ONLY if they've voted before." Blacks can ride on the front of the bus as long as they've ridden on a bus before." "Abortion is legal ONLY to those who have had previous abortions." I can't wrap my mind around this nonsensical bullshit! Iowa is now hipper than California? How the hell did that happen?

293 Today
I woke up feeling disgusted about my current weight. At one point this year I was 262, not a good weight but better than the 293 I'm at this morning. For reasons too numerous to discuss here I've been shoveling nothing but crap in to my stomach for the last 4 months. This morning I was so disgusted with my weight gain that I dumped a whole box of Apple Jacks and some ice cream down the drain. I went to the grocery store to buy some fruit and the minute I walked in I see nothing but cake. CAKE CAKE CAKE AND COOKIES! I hate to sound like a victim but this country encourages obesity! You have to walk thru the crap in the grocery store to get to the fruits and vegatables. And standing in the check out line you get to stare and candy bars and cold sodas. Yesterday for breakfast I had TWO sausage McMuffins with egg. TWO not one. When I exersised and ate better I dropped 40 pounds fairly quickly. It's not rocket science. I can lose weight and eat much better. I have before. I hope to again. Time will tell.
Smog Check
the cost will be 52 dollars. Then he asks what year my car is. It's a
91. Oh, sorry, he says. It will be 15 more because of a law THEY
passed! FUCK they! The gouging in this country never ends! It's part
of the reason I'm moving to Mexico for the summer. I'd rather die from
swine flu than by the million little daggers that are thrown at us
everyday in the form of new laws, new taxes, new fees and corporate
greed. My landlady raised my rent 200 dollars and the note said, "I am
blessed with great tenants but the city is raising my taxes so I am
forced to raise your rents." In the middle of the worst economic mess
in my lifetime she RAISES the rent. Rents should be lowered, not
raised! The home I'm renting in Mexico is 850 a month! And it's twice
as big as my Oceansude place! I'm excited and hopeful about Obama but
for the first time ever, I'm sick of being in America. There is no
excuse for the problems we are dealing with. No healthcare, shitty
education, crappy food on every corner, evil politicians, greedy
corporations...it's not a pretty picture.
Interesting license plate

Two Great Docs
Just saw two fabulous documentaries about fighting, winning, losing,
ego, showbiz, success and failure. Every Little Step is all about
Broadway and Tyson is all about boxing yet ultimately they are about
the same thing. It was thrilling to see them back to back. They
bookend perfectly together, one is masculine, one is feminine. They
both feature dancing and obsession with performance. Tyson is
seriously disturbed but so is anyone who would pursue a career in the
theatre; trust me, I know, I've been there. I was shocked at how much
I related my own life to Tyson's. You may think you hand nothing in
common with a brutal, unecucated boxer but I found myself empathising
with him as much as I did the desperate actors in Every Little Step.
Go see them both. See them back to back. They are both quite thrilling.
