Just a few quick bits:
First, thanks to the folks who have told me they've checked out the blog. If you want, you can click the comment thingie at the bottom to let me know what you think rather than send an email.
I heard that John Mayer has been smoking pot somewhat recently. 'Da hell? Is he trying to improve his "street cred?" Does the National Association of Soccer Moms know about this?
The new Jet cd sounds like the work of an Oasis covers band. There are about 3 good songs and "Come On Come On" comes the closest to achieving Oasis-ness, but I'd like the fun Jet back please.
I made up a new word about a month ago that you are all free to use if you want: fuckedness. Used in a sentence: "Bargain has reached a point of utter fuckedness." Or was it fuckedupedness...I'm not really sure. What the hell, use both!!!
New basketball hero: (whose name I will most certainly mis-spell) Stephon Maurbury. He has a new line of shoes designed, obviously for basketball. The most expensive shoe is only $14.98!!!! Suck on that Air Jordan!
Speaking of feet, sort of, during the opening weekend of the animated movie Happy Feet (Nov. 17) the teaser trailer for Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix will be shown. I am excited because the director has done two British mini-series that left me impressed: The Way We Live Now and State Of Play.
Only 3 more weeks till Duke Basketball starts. Happy happy joy joy.
Bush quote of the last 48 hours: during yesterday's press conference, in reference to multinational support of sanctions, etc. against North Korea..."You have a stronger hand when more people are playing the same cards." Obviously he has not been watching the World Series of Poker on ESPN...maybe it's on during nap time.
I was going to write something about how you know you're an adult, but I have so far only come up with one funny bit so I'm going to work on it some more. Ooooo, teaser.
Finally, something to add to last time's "idiots rule" entry. For the 3rd time this year, my vacation time was not entered into the computer so I did not receive a paycheck this week. Apparently, my not being in the building for 5 straight days was not enough to make people wonder where I was and check the schedule to see the note next to my name that said "vacation." I've considered just not showing up and letting people take a guess as to my true location and then telling management that I forgot to punch in and out just to see if my time would get entered, but I don't want to screw over my fellow co-workers. We've discussed tape recording ourselves making "sorting" sounds then hiding while the tape is playing just to see if anyone would notice we weren't actually there doing our jobs. (Although I do know of atleast one manager who would figure it out pretty quickly) We already have plenty of employees who don't do their jobs in plain sight so I'm thinking this may not be that difficult.
Watch This:
Bad Education: Pedro Almodovar does film noir and Gael Garcia Bernal makes a pretty attractive crossdresser (this made me a bit jealous, sort of like when Arnold sent me a Christmas card with him dressed as a naughty Mrs. Claus and he had on a mini skirt and I thought, "shit, his legs look better in heels than mine.")
The Office: both UK and US versions are virtual perfection. Example: quote from Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) "It's easier to learn by watching, that's why porn is a trillion dollar industry." I put this on the dry erase board over my work table.
Listen To This:
Scissor Sisters "Paul McCartney" from their new cd TahDah
Read This:
Only Revolutions by Mark Danielewski, it's a modern epic poem with made up words and sex and who needs more than that I ask you...
More in a few days.
