A Strange Way To End The Evening
So I’m driving home, coming around a bend, it’s dark and raining, and all of a sudden a yellow lab off his leash scampers into the middle of the road. I hit the horn and the brakes but since it’s wet I just go into a skid, somehow miss the dog and stay on the asphalt, the car behind me sees this so slows down and misses the dog also. Hopefully the pooch had the good sense to get out of the street. Damn, never a dull moment. Glass is cool, by the way. Yes, I’m a geek, but you already knew that.

Raiding The Fridge
Very nice, Tech finishing off the Terrapins and the puppies falling short against Tennessee, all in the span of about 90 seconds. Suh-weeeet!

I don't want to waste another moment of my life without you in it.
It wasn’t the transcendent experience for me that friends have raved about, but Garden State was a quality flick nonetheless. I think because I’m not much for pot or sedation, and because my quarter life crisis was more about careening down possibly the wrong career path instead of about making a choice at all, the film didn’t resonate with me like it apparently has with others. But I’m a sucker for quirky movies with luscious soundtracks. And for Natalie Portman, who shines as always. Her ear tug signal just killed me. I have to say, though, that seeing the trailer really does spoil all the surprises, they put far too many of the important moments in it, so when I was in the theater I knew what was coming most of the time. Which wasn’t very much fun. But I did enjoy Method Man stealing possibly the most random scene ever in a date movie. Listen to Nick Drake.

Redskins. Again. Goddam.
Not a good weekend for my teams. As fucking usual. Watching the Redskins snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Cleveland, I realized I was watching the latest sequel to Cocoon. Joe Gibbs, Joe Bugel, Ernie Zampese, and Don Breaux on the sidelines trying to explain to the players what they were doing wrong – how many generation gaps is that? And do you think they have as hard a time keeping track of their daily medications as they apparently do of timeouts and the play clock?

Great Minds Think Alike
From Eddie, lead singer of one of the greatest bands on the planet, the Supersuckers:

“. . . . I'm just interjecting a very small amount of opinion in this very important time in history. After the election, whatever the outcome, I don't imagine I'll feel the need to talk about it. But I just might be writing from my new home... in Spain.”
