the year of the leaks

Oh leaks.

Sony Pictures hates them.  Madonna hates them.  I hate them.

My house is leaking all along the south wall and the rear.  Even after the paint job and the lightwell repair.  I am so lost as to what to do.  I am obsessing over it. 

Madonna's demos are leaking and leaking.  It forced her to change her album release plans.  I loved having the six Rebel Heart tracks to listen to during this Christmas season, but I hate it that it changes what she had planned.

Sony leak is allegedly linked to North Korea.  This ties back to the Seth Rogen/James Franco movie The Interview, a comedy the plot of which revolves around the assassination of Kim Jong Un.  The leak has wreaked major havoc in the Hollywood community, with embarrassing emails by top execs being made public.  (Horrors that Angelina is a brat!!!  What of the carefully crafted PR Mother Teresa-ly image???)  When the hackers called Guardians of Peace threatened a 9/11-ish attack, Sony pulled the release of The Interview.  Everyone now is crying foul and criticizing Sony for giving in to the terrorist threats.  That's not the American way, they say.  We don't cave in to terrorism.  Yeah but this is over a Seth Rogen/James Franco movie.  I wouldn't go to war with North Korea or anybody over that.  I mean, as I learned at work, you gotta pick your battles.  Principles are worth as much as my Dazzler comic books.  There are some things worth falling on your sword over, and then there is a half-baked Seth Rogen/James Franco vanity project.  Can you even imagine, one day in the history books, the kids learn about WWIII and our teachers have to tell the story about how it began with Seth Rogen and James Franco?  Talk about embarrassing.

Anyways, 2014 is the year of the leaks.  So troubling.  So hard to diagnose and find their source but so damaging.  I am hoping 2015 is the year of the seal, and not of the type that sharks hunt.
