There's a little Canadian movie project called Whale Music (based on the Paul Quarrington novel, but not on the Rheostatics album of the same name, although they did do the soundtrack — just a coincidence) that I quite liked. The main character, Desmond, I have been told by a number of people echoes many aspects of my own life… This morning I bumped into Maury Chaykin, the actor that played him. For someone who should know better, I think I made him feel uncomfortable with my occasional staring (mostly trying to figure out if he was Maury Chaykin or a hobo that looked a lot like him).
Quick news (sorry, you'll have to read the stories yourself, I only have time to write a sentance on them), then I have to open up this machine (at home, not IAM) and pop in a burner:
- US plans on nuking China, Russia, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Syria (but not Saudi Arabia or Pakistan for some strange reason).
- US expects more losses in war (yeah, because when you put big Delta Force guys above 8,000 feet, in the cold, without experience in the terrain, they're fucked. Hello “Cold Vietnam”.)
- War damages US economy (except the defense sector, who helped put the current government in power, are doing GRRRRRRRRREAT!)
- Afghan Alliance starts to break up (Yeah, big surprise. I don't know who thought this was a good idea.)
- Massive US base expansion internationally (If you want to fix the economy, stop doing this!)
