You all are probably expecting me to post something, but I don't want to talk about this.

A variety of good stuff:


Books: Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem, Drop City by TC Boyle, anything by Haruki Murakami (especially Hard Boiled Wonderland at the End of the World)
Music: Far From Enough Viktor Krauss, Mylab Mylab, Live Phish Vol. 19: 7/12/91 Phish, Good News for People Who Love Bad News Modest Mouse, Chutes Too Narrow The Shins
Television: Colonial House PBS
Beer: Smuttynose IPA, De Ranke XX Bitter, Magic Hat Thumbsucker

Random Big Lebowski quote generator.

Ann and I watched "Trey and Dave go to Africa" last night on VH1 and came to the following conclusion: there is no one in the world with a bigger shit-eating grin than Mr. Ernest Joseph Anastasio. Pretty good show, if you like Phish or DMB you might as well watch it. Anyway, the only reason I am really posting this is to try out the new version of Blogger.

Ann and I have seen a couple of great movies recently: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Big Fish. Eternal Sunshine was written by Charlie Kaufman - the same guy who wrote Adaptation and Being John Malkovich, and it is every bit as entertaining as those movies. Big Fish was directed by Tim Burton and it is much better than Planet of the Apes but maybe not quite as good as The Nightmare Before Christmas. Ewan Macgregor's souther accent is a bit suspect, however. I know it came out last year, but I consider a movie premier to be when the movie opens at the discount theater in Arlington.

If you get a chance, check out the new Wilco album - they are streaming it for free. You can listen to it and hope along with me that Jeff Tweedy kicks his painkiller problem.

Seacrest out!
