a preview of government controlled healthcare

this article comments on the new and improved ICD-10 that will replace the ICD-9 our poor doctors will have to face in the yar 2011. why the government must constantly "improve" the systems to make things more convoluted is beyond me.
'tis not too long a read, and worth it.

a bureaucratic nightmare

but then that is the only way to describe bureaucrats

film review

repulsion (1965) .. my opinion.. roman polanski's best film
one feels very uncomfortable watching carol descend into her madness
you want to help her
maybe its just because catherine deneuve is just so beautiful and fragile

a picture says it all

autumn is my favourite season

last night i fell asleep listening to the gentle winds blowing through the trees. it was exquisitly serene amd sent me off to dream land.
today i woke with a smile as i heard the rustle of leaves once more. i ventured outside to do mundane errands. the weather was perfect; the sun was shining, the breezes energised me. other than the idiot parked in the bank carpark blocking those trying to get into the lot(there always has to be one idiot), everyone was in a fine mood and smiles were being shared all around.
i love autumn. the temperatures are perfect, in my opinion. i love hearing the rustle of leaves - on the trees and the dead ones skirling along the ground. the colours are vibrant this year and make a beautiful palette. the air is fresh and the sky is an incredible blue.
or it could just be the vicodin ;)

i want to know

why there are no mcain ads on any news organisation, radio or television, in the last month and when i went to cbs to ask that question, they refused to take it as one of the questions they said they would answer
bastards

a movie review from a non critic

i just went to see American Carol. i highly recommend it for two reasons. it sends a message to those that made it and those in hollywood that the american public wants these kinds of films (so go see it THIS weekend.. opening weekends are very important) and its very funny - there are some real laugh out loud moments. a little slapstick, but not enough to put those off who don't care for slapstick (like me) and there were a number of moments that my eyes welled up with patriotic tears.
that is just my amateurish opinion.

a little humour amidst the insanity
