later that same day

I was just thinking about what my husband and I are going to get up to this long weekend. Hooray for Canada Day falling on a Friday! We have absolutely nothing planned and will probably end up at the movies ...

but then I remembered that really the only thing I'd want to see is War of the Worlds and I am boycotting Tom Cruise. His need to publicize his views on psychiatry and depression is inappropriate and irresponsible. I am all for free speech, differing opinions and alternative therapy but I believe that someone who has such a public persona should really be responsible about what they say and think of who their audience is and who might be affected by their comments. I have no doubt that there are probably people who need help that will not now seek out someone to who can provide support. Everyone should be responsible for themselves and do the necessary research and find what works for them be it therapy, medication or simply some soul searching.

To make a long story short, if anyone wants a VHS copy of Top Gun, you're free to have mine.
