I'll let Redpac explain that reference to you, if he's sober enough. Going to see a special preview screening of Beyond Borders with him tonight.
I know nothing of this movie. But I have been promised Angelina Jolie, and that's good enough.
Mind like a sieve, can't remember if I mentioned this before and the search brings up nothing; Abigail Garner, who runs the site Families Like Mine, has a book coming out titled Families Like Mine : Children of Gay Parents Tell It Like It Is. From the publisher's page:
Sophisticated, sharply written, empathetic, and deeply personal, this book makes an outstanding and much-needed contribution to the dialogue on gay parenting from the seldom-heard perspective of adult children raised in these families. Garner is the creator of FamiliesLikeMine.com, a well-known website for LGBT families seeking guidance and resources.
It's due out in March, 2004. Perhaps I will have heard from the nice people running the affiliate's program at Women & Children First by then.
Update: Oh, right, was going to say something about how I figured me asking male bloggers to link the Breast Cancer Site might carry more weight than if a woman did it, and the similarity between this and people paying more attention to straight allies of the GLBT community than members themselves, but remembered that I have work to do.
It's very easy to do data entry to techno. I must remember this.
Update 2: Guess while I'm mentioning books that aren't out yet, but that I'm planning to get, I could say something about Nalo Hopkinson's upcoming novel, The Salt Roads.
Remind me to come back and do that once I finish the sample chapter.
I mean, when I'm done with work. Yes, that will do.

Update: Oh look, Melissa has a journal, and mentions her upcoming cd, which is also slated for release next month.
I begin to suspect a conspiracy.
Corrected title. Remember kids, Alpha Team rots your brain.
*ahem* I'm sorry Aaron, but as you well know I hold the trademark on "Sieve-Brain." :)
I cheated and bought a used advance reader's copy of Salt Roads over at Half.com. It is very good. Not quite like her other novels, but very good indeed. I plan to buy several copies as holiday gifts, so I'm not even feeling guilty about snagging it early. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.
Remind me to send the nice negro some home-brewed techno. In the meantime... www.breakbeat.co.uk
Look for the listen option.
I'm not a VIP just a regular person.
Would you please pass this along to Angelina Jolie.
Hello Angelina Jolie
I'm not too much into films or TV but I've heard impressive things about you with respect to caring about people especially children. I'm pretty much the same way.
My concern is that there are just too many humans on the planet and I don't believe anything currently being done is going to solve the problem. The basic plan is to reduce the human population in half over the next 50 years by reallocating conspicuous consumption and military spending to early childhood development. I do need assistance in implementing it so I would appreciate the opportunity to explain the concept.

I love genuine simpletons with genuine, if misdirect, concerns.
My question is, seeing as you're the one on the Left Coast, why motherfuckers asking me to get in touch with the Hollywood set for 'em?
Bill, I'll mention your concerns to Angelina next time we meet for our bid whist game. Jason, can you stop her talking so much trash whenever she beats us? Embarrassing enough a whitegirl kickin' our asses. . .
