Hmm. I liked the Royal Tenenbaums. But Bottle Rocket bored me so much that it was the one where I gave my husband my tribute to Alanis Morrisette.

Bottle Rocket is like most Radiohead records. Everyone keeps saying its brilliant, but you just don't get it.

It's good, but its no Rushmore. Nothing is.

I'm not sure what title you're talking about, but what else would you use, if "gavotte" is what you were trying to say?

I'm honestly not intending to be a wiseass, but are you thinking of something else? Gavotte as in the music? I only know this word because when I was a concert pianist (heh heh... I'm practicing the lies I'm going to spew at the kindergardeners... more like, when I was 7 or 8 and would play little piano tunes), many of them were gavottes.

I've cut him slack on the Podunkville stuff because I understand the he needs that imaginary world where he isn't a pussy-whipped freak who isn't even allowed to speak to his local barrista to order his triple foam non-fat latte. See, NB, I've got your back.

You so love him and want to have, like, a million of his babies.

For the record, I am not a latte-drinker. NTTAWWT.

I am impressed!

By the way -- I heard (but cannot confirm or gainsay) that the movie Ben Stiller did with Drew Barrymore (Brownstone?) was pretty good. Anyone have first-eye experience?

Duplex? I didn't even know that it was released in the U.S. I saw it in a theatre in Al Ain, but never even heard of it here. Odd. I hate Drew Barrymore, but the film was mildy entertaining...like most movies with her in it.

Of course you're not. Everybody knows that a triple foam latte is really a cappuccino, dear.

Movies Not To See When You Are Sick

We should've raised a stink, but neither of us had any experience with how to handle the sitchy.

ETA: Jesus, my wife has me using sitchy. I meant situation. Wait... ok, nice. My dick is still there.

Don't get me wrong, I'll have a drink on a plane - there's fuck all else to do most of the time - but getting on a plane after a full-blown session and sitting there for hours while the hangover creeps stealthily in is my idea of hell. And drinking enough to stave it off is impossible when you've already made yourself conspicuous to the staff by stumbling onto the plane. The last thing they want is another mad drunk taking a shit in the aisle and screaming for gin.

I like her, but even she can't redeem an Adam Sandler movie.

Unless she pulls a Letterman, maybe.

What was number 1

Look up the song that was #1 on the day you were born.
At first, I thought it was Gloria Gaynor, I will survive, but I got the year wrong.

Late to the show dude, Plated originated the clever renaming of posts trick. In the oldskooldaze. Middlings like you and slave wouldn't remember.

In You're So Vain, carly sings "You had one eye in the mirror as, you watched yourself gavotte..." I think it means "dance," but I believe it also has an insulting usage, as in, "you're a preening asshole." I've thought about chucking it into motion papers to describe some of the more pompous arseholes I deal with, but I'm hesitant to do so.
