Really? I'm not doubting you, just surprised. When do you listen to these CDs? I am not home very often, and when I am, I simply don't listen to CD's I bought years ago. Do you throw a lot of parties?

I listen to CDs when I am cooking dinner, when I am working at home in the evenings or on weekends, when I am ironing clothes for work, when I am working out on my bike resistance trainer, when people are over for dinner, when people are over for drinks, when I am just, uh, well, just hanging out. I also feel like I am not home very much, but a decent percentage of the time that I am home and awake, I am listening to CDs. I also listen to CDs at work. It is for this reason that I must spend such a large percentage of my income on CDs.

that said, if my son keeps growing, and coach K. comes to visit, I'm pushing for Duke. Year after year they're good.

Absolutely. Coack K is a great coach and they run a great program. Although Wojohowskiwojowojohowski is a Duke dork hat trick: dork player, dork coach and dork fan.

It's time for a new rant that will no doubt be unacceptable to SD b/c it's something that everybody already knows sucks and thus there's no use talking about it.

But I don't care how many people accept that talking during a movie is unacceptable, b/c there are still tons of complete and utter fucking assholes out there who manage to ruin every goddamn movie I pay $8.50 to see by jabbering incessantly through it.

If I'm watching some piece of shit sequel like Nightmare on Elm Street IV, then go ahead and talk all you want, throw shit at the screen, make your funny comments that are better than the script, I don't give a rat's ass. But if you are so stupid that you don't understand what is going on in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and you have to ask your ugly girlfriend what the hell is going on every 10 seconds ("wait, why is he doing that?" "what just happened?" "who is that?" "why do my pants smell like poo?") then you are too stupid to live and you don't deserve to have $8.50 to spend on a movie.

I know a lot of you people will say "that's awful and I would never talk during a movie" but I bet a lot of you are lying sacks of shit b/c I recently went to a movie with someone who professed to not be a "movie talker" (yes, I screen my movie dates now to make sure I won't have to slap them during the movie and hurt my popcorn hand) and this person talked through the whole goddamned movie. (this person isn't a poster here so don't send me any irate pms, ok?)

This is seriously one of the biggest issues I have with going to movie theaters lately. I don't mind paying exhorbitant ticket prices and I don't even mind having to get a second mortgage to pay for popcorn and a drink, but I can't fucking stand the talking. This is going to turn me into even more of a hermit than I already am.

BTW, Eternal Sunshine was a very good movie.

Wrong.


SD's response will be "With my home theater, comfortable couch and bourbon, why would I spend money to sit in a dirty theater with a bunch of strangers"?

Is anyone watching this? I saw part of it last night -- I just can't imagine being so catty over some dude I dated ten years ago. I don't even really remember who I dated ten years ago, let alone would I fight some chick now over someone I dated ten years ago and then moved on from. What is wrong with these people?

"In college my frat brothers went to a porno where some fat guido in front of us was babbling about the actress's tits. My one frat brother pulled out his dick stroked it hard and slammed the back of the asshole's seat. He got thrown onto the ground, then we told him to shut up.
When you go to a porno alone, why draw attention to yourself? Idiots like that should be fucking boiled in rancid whale blubber."

Yup. Although I am discovering that (like "Lost in Translation") there is a surprisng number of otherwise seemingly intelligent people who don't agree.

Yes, I'm watching it (because I suck and will watch anything, except for "The Swan"). It's got to be totally scripted, but it's easy to fast-forward through and it has the bonus of making me feel like much less of a loser than the asshats on the show. Although they all have bigger breasts than I do, even the men.

This is one show that would actually be improved by showing it in a movie theater full of talking assholes.

Step 1: Parents do their own parenting, and assume their kids are being similarly parented when at school.

Step 2: Parents are too busy to do their own parenting, and rely on the school to make the tough decisions for them, presumably based on their superior experience in the matter.

Step 3: Parents are unable to do any of their own parenting, and threaten to file lawsuits when the schools attempt to do anything other than read approved books aloud to their children.

Parents of a 6-year-old boy say they plan to consult an attorney after a school principal washed bright blue dye out of their son's mohawk.

I wasn't allowed to make my own decisions about my hair until I was 17. And America prospered.

Of course, the article is clear that the kid didn't make his own decision about his hair. His parents let him do it as a reward, so the principal was undoing the parents' parenting decision. There is also a he-said, she-said thing going on here, where the principal is saying he had permission to wash the hair out from the mother and the father is saying he did not. I'm more concerned about either the father or the principal lying here than I am about some blue hair.

And they washed it out to avoid "spoiling" a school picture? Please. Anyone want to play count the kids picking their nose with my kids' school pictures? I think they're just teaching the kids to be vain at that place. Who cares what color the kid's hair is.

(Note: my hair was down to my ass at age 17, with the parents permission. And America prospered.)

Of course not. Why would you assume this? I was just trying to amuse myself because I do not have any good CDs to listen to and there is no one hot near my office to make out with.

Word.

I went to see LOTR III and there was a guy talking on his stinking cell phone. What an a-hole. I found, though, that when I said something to him, the rest of the audience backed me up. I mean, I live in TCOTU, and I've never seen that happen (the LOTR incident was not in TCOTU).

Talk about the entitlement attitude. It makes me want to vomit. Or kill someone. Or both.

I got a recommendation for GAs visiting Toronto. Restaurant is called Laide, and it sounds like a tapas type restaurant/bar. My source says that it served the most decadent food she'd ever tasted, but the kicker for GAs is that it's a sex-themed restaurant. Porn projected on walls, drinks named risquely, nudes (pictures, not people) lining the walls, stripper pole available for when you've had too much to drink. Condoms come with the bill. http://www.laide.ca/ (spree: restaurant site. Got through my work's filters and seems to be just descriptive. No truly naughty pictures.)
