No one can read the post.

And yet I can post it during the great blogging outage of the 2004 election. Or maybe I can't- won't know until I hit the button.

Nothing about the election tomorrow
In truth, part of the paucity of writing on this blog is due to the paucity of Sparky material- or rather my unwillingness to use Sparky material, since about six months or so ago, he started being in my corner more re: office politics. Otherwise I would posted immediately when he started running around the halls singing "2 Legit/2 Legit 2 Quit." The appealing thing about Sparky, is as someone at the New Yorker once said about Phil Hartman, is that he enjoys people playfully deflating his ego just so he can have the fun of puffing it back up again.

Seen over the last month:
Infernal Affairs- The Michael Mann Cops and Robbers franchise, taken to the Hong Kong and, except for a few over-obvious moments, boiled down to its bare minimalist essence- it knows you've seen this sort of film before, and doesn't waste more than a few minutes setting itself up, and spends most of its running time conveying mood through sideways glances, finger tapping in morse code, and the sleek, maze architecture of the city of Hong Kong.

Bright Young Things- I forgot it almost as I watching it.

Hopefully, I will update later with the Ramones: End of the Century, Vera Drake, Sideways, and I Heart Huckabees.
