sequence, the board and card game

...

young(ish)white male liberals could sort of be divided culturally into like, micheal moore/oliver stone fans, wes anderson/godard fans and then like seth rogen/cheech and chong fans. of course some folks could really enjoy all of 'em but as far as voters you can count on, directors like paul t. anderson, spike jonze and james cameron while of course they're 'hollywood lefties,' i don't think consistently portray the world in a way that like obama would really get down with.  they're more like spielberg in that it's usually quite different movie to movie and often apolitical.  of course some of those directors might not even think of themselves as humanists or like democrats but it's not as if many people can get down with sarah palin and get off watching george clooney as a cute cartoon.
...
it's hard to know who to root for in the oscars for me.  it's pretty much between inglorious and hurt locker with the pardon me to up in the air and precious which I haven't seen.  i read a solid critique of the hurt locker from a vet of the iraq war that confirmed a few noticeable flaws.  too bad taking woodstock didn't get nominated or the rest of up was as good as the first 15 or so minutes or the 2nd and 3rd hours of avatar were as good as the first or if it would be ok to still like woody allen movies that don't involve three ways with p.cruz not that there's anything wrong with 3 ways and her.  flaws and all it's tough to go against the women director(hurt locker) just because how difficult it is for them in general in hollywoodland particularly to then go for yet another ww2 movie but having said that....it kinda sorta seems like i.b. was the best of the ten noms
....
so the board and card game, sequence, is wicked awesome as am I at playing it despite what my father seems to remember about our many duels at it.  the word is dominating and the question is how to describe my ability at the game.  and through in dominos too while we're at it, i feel bad some times and try out some wildly experimental strategy and then sometimes when i play like that he or my mom might win but it's only cause i let them, in a way.
