It's damn good. I admit: I was a little surprised by the sex scene so quickly in the movie. But after awhile, you get past the homosexuality, and get immersed in the love story. It really is a sad story. And a beautifully shot movie. Very good.<br /> <br /> Thanks, Sarah, for encouraging me to see it.... OK- so my wife and I saw Brokeback. It’s damn good.

And frankly, I'd be happy with a moderate-traffic blog. How about a low-traffic blog. I think I have a no-traffic blog. Anyone want to give me any of the things that Rex suggests?

“a book deal, a movie deal, a tv deal, and a high-traffic blog…”

Well, I do have a TV deal. And frankly, I’d be happy with a moderate-traffic blog. How about a low-traffic blog. I think I have a no-traffic blog.

Sandberg also sometimes brings me soup.
Me, I’m just a beast of burden.
As my mother used to tell me, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
Actually, what she used to tell me was to shut the fuck up.

I’m not sure what to think about the Baby Jesus Butt Plug. I’ll let you know when I’ve tried it out.
