Maybe it's from reading and watching too much science fiction, but I *really* don't want anything messing with my mind. Hell, I haven't even had a pot edible in a month. Just way too much cheap frozen Chinese food. That's my perfect day.

You don't have to respond to anything I write.

Rural life is grand, corporations are bad, but then come the end maybe corporations aren't so bad because Burt Lancaster plays the CEO, and he's not going to play a bad guy unless he turns out to have a heart of gold. That said, I saw it 40 years ago and 40 years ago I used to be a jerk. I'm a jerk now, too, but also used to be.<br /><br />• Doug Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075745451950217113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811987615829975890.post-58860722387256726112022-03-01T09:46:00.663-08:002022-03-01T09:46:00.663-08:00I didn't mean to touch a nerveI didn't mean to touch a nerveGuanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811987615829975890.post-35417887535192928852022-03-01T02:52:36.878-08:002022-03-01T02:52:36.878-08:00I liked the movie, but it didn't quite work.

Googling tells me it's from the soundtrack of Local Hero, a movie I liked years ago, but all the critics told me I should've *loved* it. Sure love that tune, though.<br /><br />Thanks for understanding. I'm twice the age I was when I said fuck it and left Seattle.

The shit is mitigated by the fact that he is going home, but I can assure you that, except for a needle in the sky, some ferry boats and a couple of aging hookers, it's a very different place than the one he left decades ago.<br /><br />It was a small town with loud hydroplanes.
