I've lost my voice. I now have this scratchy smoker thing going on, and I'm coughing like something awful. I am not terribly happy, although Chris is coming over tonight to hopefully fix my computer. So... yay for having Photoshop back. And my uh... porn. And not having to go to the computer lab to write papers. And hey! I might even be able to keep up with my friendslist again. Also, I'm going straight to Just Pope Motion (heheh... John Paul II's doing the cabbage patch in my head) and d/ling some new music.

The holidays are coming up, and the RAs are planning our holiday party. Keep in mind that on my staff, there are 2 agnostics, 3 hardcore Christians (Thea, Will, & Jessie), and me. I'm in charge of fliers.

Me: So, what do you think? Christmas tree fliers?
Thea: We don't want to alienate non-Christians.
Me: Well, the tree is more than the symbol of one religion.
Thea: No one's going to know that.
Me: Okay, how about candy canes? I know the whole shepherds in the fields thing, blah blah... but most people just think 'candy!'
Thea: Let's stay away from religious imagery alltogether.
Me: Okay. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Thea: Santa's in that one. He's a Christian figure.
Me: Um. Actually... *thinks the better of it* Well, nowadays, he's secular. You know, like the Easter Bunny.
Thea: No.
Me: How about I put up a blank sheet of paper and we call it "Snow"?
Erica: That's not funny.
Me: Fine. I'm putting up the Little Baby Jesus and that will be that.
Erica: I have to approve these, you know.
Me: Damn you all. There's a thing as being *TOO* PC. I'm the godless heathen, why am I the one saying this??
Jessie: Hey, I have Pagan friends. That's not fair.
Me: *shoots her a withering stare*

All of that from the order I picked colors. Shut. Up.



Okay. Off to go to class. We're doing Chocolat & sensuality today in Women & Food. There are worse things I could be looking at while miserable.

Jake Gyllenhaal says he was left in pain after shooting gay love scenes with Heath Ledger.
The stars play cowboys who fall in love in the new movie Brokeback Mountain.
Jake said: "Heath almost broke my nose in a kissing scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me.
"And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the shit beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."



... I need to see this movie. Because honestly? I've been reduced to such witty banter as "Gahhh."
