1) TEAM AMERICA kicks ass. It's easily the funniest movie I've seen all year, if not in this current millennium. I would have written a longer entry about it, but I couldn't remember any of it afterward, because I was laughing so hard. Suffice it to say, you have to see it to believe it. No description I could give you would do it justice, and a great deal of the humor lies in seeing it all for the first time. Suffice it to say, giant cats.

2) The Husband spent the entire weekend at a friend's house doing a LAN party. I think this was the first weekend I've had to myself since we married and never wrote thank you cards oh so long ago. I was determined to "Do It Up" as the kids like to say, so throwing caution to the wind I took the long way home and stopped and got a thing of the greatest Szechwan tofu in Columbus. Then I went next door to the video store.

"I'm BY MYSELF ALL WEEKEND!!!" I thought to myself. "I can get whatever I want that The Husband would NEVER want to see!!!" So after a half hour I left with THE ITALIAN JOB and HOUSE OF THE DEAD. I'm so ashamed. Although I did put back QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. So I'm not totally ashamed. THE ITALIAN JOB was pretty good. HOUSE OF THE DEAD sucked ass. I was warned by The Brother, but I wanted to see it because I was in the mood for something scary. NOT SCARY. Not even gross. And the main character looked JUST LIKE the friend The Husband was staying with.

Side note: Doug, if your girlfriend is ever killed by a zombie conquistador before you're rescued from an island by a shadowy government organization hellbent on creating supersoldiers, DON'T REANIMATE HER!!!! The sequel's not worth it.

3) THE OFFICE is really weird. I was disappointed to hear there were only two seasons, but the show is very depressing. Don't get me wrong, it's very well acted and written, but there's something about coming home from a shitty job to watch a show about other people hating their shitty jobs. There's such a sense of ennui. It's almost painful to watch. It's not even a dark comedy. It's human tragedy in the highest.

4) Started watching season 3 of ALIAS. It's still like watching a bloody car wreck. Thank God I can pick up my on reserve episodes of FARSCAPE tonight.

5) KEEN EDDIE just came out on DVD. I don't know if you saw this during one of the many random times FOX showed it, but it stars hottie Mark Valley (currently on BOSTON LEGAL) as a transplanted New York cop making his way in London. He's roommates with Sienna Miller (currently Jude Law's girlfriend and also in ALFIE) and they hate each other so you totally know they're going to do it. But unfortunately there were only 13 episodes, some of which never saw the light of day, so I doubt they actually got around to doing it. Eddie's partner on the London force is named Monty Pippin, which is awesome. You must see it and then hate FOX even more than you do. Until AMERICAN IDOL starts up in January, that is.

6) New Duran Duran album KICKS ASS and is the best Duran Duran album ever if I do say so myself.

I'm not even going to recommend you get it though because I can sense you rolling your eyes.

7) I think this may be all I'm going to talk about for right now. I have kind of a headache. I have a NASAL POLYP. It's very fun and exciting: I never got my allergies treated so the inside of my nose totally swelled up and it runs all the time and it's hard to breathe. Also, now that I know I have a NASAL POLYP I can totally feel it, like a little alien or something. Breeding in my nose. So I now use FLONASE, which according to the commercials will clear up your allergies and encourage hot guys to give you bouquets of flowers made out of ragweed. I also take CLARIDIN-D, which is supposed to be non-drowsy but turns my brain to cotton. That's my sad tale.
