12/4/04--emotionally exhausted and morally bankrupt

I don't think I've been so happy to see a weekend in a long time.  Between this crap at Notre Dame and the last two days at work, I was spent.  I spent yesterday in court with the "coughing judge", who spent about an hour longer than necessary hemming and hawing with the public defender about a marijuana arrest on a guy who had 4 NO BOND warrants.  HELLO!! He's got 4 warrants.  Who gives two shits about a freakin misdemeanor??!!?  And another thing, she's giving court costs to guys who are going to spend a few years in the joint.  What the hell does a guy like that care about a couple of hundred in court costs?

Well, a rather unpleasant bit of news coming from Kellie the other day.  You, beloved reader, will no doubt remember "The Khronic".  He and Kellie called it a day a few months ago.  Well our boy has apparently decided that instead of just moving on with his (12 yr old) life, that he's going to start talking shit about my daughter.  My 12 year old daughter.  Who's getting passed a note in class asking her if she's had SEX with some other boy.  It was all I could do to not go drive over to the little bastards house and lay the smack down on his candy ass.  Hopefully, we won't hear anything more on this front as Kim called the school and is going to try and let them address the situation without MOI getting involved.  And she's not even a teenager yet.  Holy crap.  What did I get myself into?

I didn't even get a chance to go over the movie that I watched the other day.
Valley Girl--from 1983 comes this absolute gem.  Basically a retelling of the Romeo & Juliet legend with a valley girl (the gorgeous Deborah Foreman) and a punk rocker (Nicholas Cage in his first star role and before he had caps put on his teeth) who fall in love, much to the dismay of both their friends, who are convinced that they're totally wrong for one another.  Terrific young actors, great soundtrack and a couple of wonderful supporting performances from Frederic Forrest, Colleen Camp, and a very hot and sexy Lee Purcell.  A definite check it out--****
