last week, on our way into Dallas for the Dirtbombs show, we stopped at Tom Thumb so I could get some cash. In line ahead of me was a relatively large woman purchasing the following:

cheetos
fritos
doritos
slim fast


people fascinate me.


speaking of the dirtbombs, they put on a great show. mick collins is a perfect frontman...he has tons of energy and passion...not to mention he's a great musician. I've been mildly obsessed with Ultraglide in Black lately...what a rad album.

i had a nasty cold a couple weeks ago, so i've finally gotten around to seeing a bunch of movies I've been meaning to rent.

love actually. i don't know if it was the cold medicine, the sleeplessness, or the sappy plot, but this movie made me its bitch. i cried 4 or 5 different times...and we're not talking wipe-a-tear-from-my-eye kind of crying. i mean that of the sobbing-and-gasping-for-breath sort. But I thought it was a really well done movie...and of course, martin freeman (tim from the office) plays a body double/porn star and is sans clothing in all but one of his scenes. no complaints here.

21 grams. it's been said before. but damn, sean penn is a tremendous actor.

capturing the friedmans. interesting movie. it's amazing that neither of these two very suspicious cases went to court. no matter what happened, no matter how many judges, cops, lawyers, or family members think they know the truth, there are only two people in the world who actually know the truth, and only one of them is alive today. that fascinates me. and the bonus material on the DVD was almost better than the movie itself...tons of good stuff.

shrek 2. started off slow, but got funnier as it went on. not nearly as good as the first one, but still bags on disney enough for me to have enjoyed it.

object of my affection. hey, sue me..it was on tv and i was sick. these things happen. but seriously, this movie sucks. pros: jennifer aniston is hot. cons: just about everything else. Not to mention its tired old plot. Girl meets boy. Boy tells girl he is gay. Girl and boy become best friends. Girl moves in with boy. Girls gets pregnant out of wedlock. Girl asks boy to raise her child with her. Boy has random sex with other gay box and girl gets jealous. boy and girl make up, everyone falls in love, and they all live happily ever after. Sound familiar?

Saved starts tonight and is at the top of my must-see list.

memorial day weekend BBQ is underway starting tonight. everyone is invited.
