Mother, my aunt Sue and I watched Brokeback Mountain last night. While beautiful in the typical Ang Lee "the world is bigger than you" style, I was kinda, well, frustrated with it. I mean, EVERYBODY's love life has been just as unsatisfying and heartbreaking except most of us haven't had the benefit of a hot cowboy doing the heartwrangling and breaking.

Afterward I needed cheering up so I went to Nathan Nelson's weblog. He went duck chasing ala Benny Hill and shot a clip of it.

So this is my advice to anyone all wrecked up by love: You may as well chase a duck. At least they look back occassionally as they run away.
