Did you get a chance to see Betty White on Ugly Betty tonight? (With the time difference, has it been on yet?)
Well today totally sucked ass.
Just as I knew it would. I expected it to suck ass. Somehow I thought this foresight would make it easier to live through to the rain of shit that fell all over my life, but I was wrong. So wrong. With every new horror that popped up, I was worn down just a little further. I haven't measured my height or anything, but I must be at least 3 feet shorter than I started out this morning. And my head hurts.
But there was a bright spot when I woke up and saw that USA Today has a sneak peak at the new Speed Racer movie in production. And the photos are incredible. Word is that the Wachowski Brothers are creating a movie unlike anything seen before (not a surprise considering they were also responsible for The Matrix)...


I was a massive fan of the original Speed Racer cartoon when I was a kid (it had a monkey in it!), and am really psyched to see how this film is going to play out. Unfortunately, I have a long five months to wait. In the meanwhile, I guess I'll just go stare at the sneak peak photos again, and play make-believe Speed Racer like I used to...

And then prepare myself for yet another crappy day tomorrow.
UPDATE: The Speed Racer teaser trailer is now online. This is going to be so cool. Look, it's Chim Chim!!


I was woefully unimpressed with the Speed Racer trailer. I have no prior experience with it, so I was just judging it from a movie standpoint, and at this point I am not interested.

Awww! Hooray, I had not heard anything about the Speedracer movie. I loved that show!
By the way, if you don't want Sizzle's cupcake, she can Fed Ex it to me. ;)

I used to love speed racer! When my husband and I were dating we used to watch it all the time. I remember we used to joke around about when they were under a car the cartoon took on a bluish tint. When things are blue (pictures that aren't developed correctly, paint chips, or whatever) we say "it must have been under a car" which I just realized doesn't make any sense to anyone but us and we probably sound really stupid when we say it around other people. And yes, now I am done sharing nonsensical things for today. You can laugh at me and maybe feel better, right?
As a way to cheer you up after a crappy day, you can check out the latest Ugly Betty that starred Betty White. You might be perked up by that.

Even when you're having a crappy day you find a way to put a smile on the rest of our faces. Thanks for sharing (I'm stoked about this movie; those images look great!) and today's 'toon is the bees knees... You rock!

I wonder if there will be as much "hmmm" and "awww!!" in this movie as there was in the cartoon?
Speed Racer was one of my favorites also.

Speaking of Speed Racer - check out this story from McSweeney's about Speed Racer.
Loved Speed Racer as a kid. I'm excited to see the movie. Will have to go check out the trailer when I'm back on faster broadband (currently sitting in Orlando airport via EVDO connection)
