I think I work in a sick building.

Now he takes on Bush for believing God is on his side. I think he brings up some really great points. “Free will must be absolute or it is not free. God is not a coach who allows the quarterback to make most of the decisions, but sometimes sends in a play from the sidelines.” Amen to that.

Sweeeeeeet. There’s going to be a Buffy Convention in Melbourne in May! I’m trying to talk the Snook into going. (Link courtesy of orangecat.)

Bichel… Bichel… Biiiiichelllllllllllllll! (Apologies to the non-cricket fans, but Australia – previously unbeaten in the World Cup – just almost got their asses handed to them by the Kiwis. Luckily Andy Bichel, the Champion of the World, was once again available to play the hero…)

In case there was any doubt at all, this picture clearly reestablishes Renee Zellweger as my nemesis. She’s just too friggin’ gawky and weird right now.

I love it when Ebert goes off on non-movie-related rants. Now he’s got a bug up his nose about public prayer. I like his distinction between “vertical” and “horizontal” praying, but I think he’s a little unfair in saying that all public praying is done for recruitment or exclusion. I’m not religious but I went to a Catholic university, and I know that sometimes a group of people like to express their faith together. It didn’t bother me and I didn’t feel like they were going out of their way to try to convert or alienate me. Of course, I can see where having a group of Bible beaters glaring at your during a sporting event would be kind of annoying…

Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are starring in The Pirates of the Caribbean, according to this interview. I predict that the sight of such chiseled and beautiful cheekbones on the screen together will be almost too painful to look at. Almost.
