While ironing a few weeks ago, I saw Ashton Kutcher interviewed on Ophrah. He was talking about his relationship with Demi and actually sounded somewhat intelligent.

Well, I take back that observation after reading part of the following interview with him. Here's what he said about "Guess who", which as you know, is based on "Guess who's coming to dinner."

When “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” came out decades ago, it made an impact because of the subject matter.
And thank God for the movie because it changed things.

What’s this movie going to do?
This is going to change a little bit more. The problem is people think it’s all getting all even now. Everybody is starting to get all comfortable with it. Everybody is starting to think it’s getting all even. And when you come see the movie, there’s going to be a scene in it at the dinner table where everybody gets a little bit uncomfortable. And then you’re going to realize it’s not all even yet. Because if somebody comes to me and starts telling white jokes, I don’t have a problem with it. I’m comfortable with it. But when we tell black jokes in the movie, people get uncomfortable because it ain’t all even.

Writing stuff

Since moving to Vancouver, my creative work has suffered a little because all the writing that I've been doing has been related to MAKING MONEY and pieces that I can sell immediately. Today, I'm revising my poetry manuscript so it can be sent out again. A friend and I might be collaborating and performing some of my work in "Dances for a small stage." I would read my poems, and she would create dances to them. I have to compile some poems for her to look through, and I'm trying to get that done today as well. I haven't been updating as much lately because I've been picking up shifts at Chapters, and temping like a mad woman because I'm taking time off for a small surgery and my trip back to Saskatoon.

A customer recommended this awesome website to me yesterday Global Freeloaders . He was a cool older guy that loved reading about travelling and adventure. He reminded me of my dad.
