Random.

Misheard lyric of the day:

"Your love is thick, and it followed me home."

As opposed to the actual lyric:

"Your love is thick, and it swallowed me whole."

From 'Head Over Feet', by Alanis Morrissette.

Pop Quiz, hot shot:

There is this place that sells the tastiest goodies, but the woman behind the counter always tries to make small talk in the most awkward of ways imaginable. What do you do? Who do you do?

The best trailer you're likely to see:

300

I love the 300 trailer. My roommate hated it. He thinks it's too perfect. I on the other hand, love it because it's stylish, and the men don't wear clothes.

Hot trailer. Hot bodies, too.

As for the woman by the counter, my suggestion is to tell her, next time, to shut the fuck up. Wait, that's harsh. You could try just staring at the ground unresponsively. Or type frantically on your cell phone in a very bothered manner until she gives you your change and then run. That'll work. If you're not the confrontational type ;)

Wow you have a new reader! What you think about that? Hopefully he's smart enough not to stick around for too long.

Lies - have faith.

Snake - I've been reading David's blog for about a year now. Hardly new, huh? I'm thinking of replacing your button with one for him.

David - the problem solved itself. The tasty goodies turned out not to be all that tasty this year.

Cheers

He said, in his best Daffy Duck voice.

You never post, remember?

And I was kidding, I kicked Tim. (Who? Exactly.)

I know Tim. We go way back. We even fooled around once.

Did you like The History of Love? I'm losing interest but I've heard some really good things and I want to find that out.

I did, yes. Her style is quite similar to that of her husband, Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

It's like the two of them have created their own genre - I'd call it 'magical realism', however contradictory that may sound.

Give it a try.
