I don't watch a lot of movies, and now that I'm sitting here watching The Happening I'm remembering why. This movie is really really bad. I mean, yeah, considering the socio-political direction northeastern states have followed in recent decades it's hardly implausible to imagine the population being gripped by urges to self-destruction.

In fact, the longer I watch this movie the less my own will to live. How did this even make it to theaters?

Anyway, Cookie had a baseball practice tonight -- a practice game against another team. Went okay. Got chilly as the game progressed.

Had to look through some records today to find some paperwork. Came across my college degree, the official certificate. It had a lot of stains on it from spending a few years on my refrigerator -- had it there with magnets like a school award. Then I found my J.D. -- and if the friggin thing wasn't so big I'd put it on my refrigerator now. I mean, it's not like I'm going to spend money to frame it or anything.

Wow, this movie is bad. "We've become a threat to this planet," was the dopey line just uttered.

No: this movie is a threat to the planet.
