My current movie is Love at First Bite. Later I plan to watch A Serious Man.
Earlier I was having tea and cake with my host mother, and she off the cuff guessed my blood type. Correctly. She said she could tell by my behavior and personality. It was ridiculous.

Apparently blood types are important in many of the East Asian cultures. Whether or not there’s any truth, it was still ridiculous.

That part sounds like it should be in A Serious Man.
Slowly going through S2 of Breaking Bad before S3 starts, good stuff, I can see why Bryan Cranston is getting all kinds of praise for the role.

I liked Weeds initially, but it ended up getting just so dumb and convoluted through season two that I couldn’t watch it any longer, and its a shame, because its a really good story. Same thing happened with Heroes. First season was great, but it just became so out of control crazy dumb, I had to punch out.

Watching Heroes became a chore after the first season. I kept watching every new season hoping for a return to form. I eventually just gave up on it.

Mrs. YLM kept on with it (I checked out after the first part of season three), and when I asked her how the plot was going, it had gotten to the point where it was so convoluted and beyond dumb that it was mind blowing.

I stopped watching once it got to the point where I struggled to remember even a single detail about the previous season. I figured if I couldn’t retain even the most basic knowledge of the plot then I was wasting my time.

Not sure what season it is has anything to do with a show’s quality or not. Unless a show changes directions or adds some huge element, like the Wire did, I can’t remember season at all. I couldn’t tell you what season the Cheers “Kelly song” episode was in or which
The SimpsonsTreehouse of Horror featured the Raven.
"You ever use smelling salts, every time you type a bad blog?" Brooks Laich
What I mean is the seasons were not memorable to me. When a new season would start, I would try to think back on what happened in the previous season and realized I had no idea what happened. Cheers and the Simpsons do not have continuous plots while Heroes does. If I am trying to follow the show and I can’t remember the plot of the previous season, I’m not invested enough in it to continue watching.

I think “The Raven” Treehouse of Horror is Season 2. There was no Treehouse in Season 1, as they were a mid-season premiere :)
Kung-fu Rink Rabbit
The Blood Cult of Matt Bradley. Tune in Wednesday when Japers Rink offers their first burnt offering to Matt Bradley to give him an endless supply of the blood for his strident ways.
Yeah, The Raven was in the first Treehouse of Horrors. However, Treehouse of Horrors III (Season 4) is possibly the best one – King Kong parody, Evil Krusty Doll and the Zombie invasion.

I watched English dubbed version ofThe Rocket last night. It was ok. The guy who played Dick Irvin was good, as well as the guy who voiced him. The woman who played Richard’s wife was ok. Roy Dupuis as the Rocket was a bit weak. Overall, the movie was decent if you like hockey. If not, I’d tell folks to skip it. MIke Ricci got a ton of face time. Sean Avery as a Rangers goon = perfect casting.
"You ever use smelling salts, every time you type a bad blog?" Brooks Laich
On that subject, if you can find it on video anywhere, there’s a movie called Gross Misconduct, which talks about Brian Spencer and his crazy-arsed hockey dad. It was a CBC TV movie I saw years ago, but it’s a fascinating flick.

From what I understand about those movies, you’re setting yourself up for a downer of a day.
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
Where the Wild Things Are made me really depressed and was painful to watch. I stopped watching it without about 30 minutes left. I thought it did a horrible job representing the book (from which, I have artwork hanging in my home)
The talking between Max and the beasts made me feel so uneasy inside and there was something off about the whole thing.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
That movie was so much more angsty than I expected it to be, or thought it should be.

Spike said something about the film which may help. Paraphrasing, it’s less an adaptation, and much less a children’s film, and more a film about childhood, and how adult cynicism/skepticism is basically a dangerous toy, used carelessly around kids (last part mine, and speculation of course). I liked it, guessing I’ll grow to love it the more I watch it.

I think maybe I could better accept that message if I didn’t already have such a vivid image an understanding on what he was trying to rewrite.
New characters and different movie name may make me watch it with a different appreciation. As it stands though I just couldn’t get over that mental hump and it just made me depressed.

No worries; to each their own. Spike could make a film about reading the phone book and I’d watch it.

I had fun yesterday!
First, I bought my daughter a secondhand electric guitar. It ran me right around $50, which is about right for the quality of the instrument…
…then I went to the music store to buy new strings for the secondhand electric guitar.
I got them for free, thanks to the Czech-made classical guitar that poleaxed me into buying IT for myself!
I now have SIX guitars in the apartment (two six-string acoustic, one 12-string acoustic, the electric I just got for Sam, my new classical, and a 3/4-sized classical that is also Sam’s), along with three cello’s (1 full-sized, 1 half- sized, 1 eighth-sized — the half-sized one will be donated to my grade school when I get it fixed up), a Celtic harp, a half-sized violin (which, see half-sized cello), and an electric keyboard.
I’ll be restringing a BUNCH of guitars over the weekend……..!

My most recent was buying a couple Bears jersey crests, then getting a white practice jersey (complete with vinyl PERREAULT 24) to press it onto.
Like my similarly-created Lepisto jersey, it is comically oversized. Frustrating.

I’m waiting on Perreault until he’s up with the big club, hopefully next season…
I did get an “away” Bears sweater a month or so ago. If I’d been thinking straight at the time, I’d’a bought the white sweater instead of the chocolate-and-burgundy, but I wasn’t.

When I was younger, my mom bought me some new, more expensive violin strings. When I was putting them on, the E string broke. I thought she would be really mad at me so I made up a sob story about how it snapped, hit me in the face and it really hurt. She felt bad and didn’t yell at me for breaking a brand new string. Not sure where I was going with that story but whatev.

Owwies!
I actually DID have that happen to me when I was restringing my 12-string guitar. As a result, I routinely buy an extra high-E and an extra G-octave string so that when – not if, WHEN – I break one, I’ll have the spare at-hand.
I also learned a very important lesson that day: NEVER point a 12-string guitar at your face when tightening a string on it. It hurts when it snaps and misses your eye by about 1/2"… and it would have hurt worse if it had hit me in the eye.
What kind of violin strings? When I was playing ’cello regularly, I used silver-wound gut. The C-string alone ran me $85, and that was back in the 1980s…

Hmm,it’s been a while so I can’t recall exactly what kind of strings they were. The were recommended by my music teacher as an upgrade over whatever stock strings I was using. Violin strings are much cheaper than cello strings however, and E strings break all the time. At the time it seemed like a big deal, but in hindsight, not so much.

Fugazi is awesome… you not only need to check out their music, but you need to see them in person. They put on a great, great show.
Let's go Caps!
How did LIOLI not hear Fugazi until today??? What is going on the Mid Atlantic. Is the knowledge if past not being passed down from generation to generation.
Do the other younger members of the commentatriat also not know who Fugazi is? For that matter Minor Threat. Or any of the old guard like Iron Cross, Scream, Bad Brains, etc.
As for seeing Fugazi live the poor guy is out of luck. To my knowledge they haven’t played a live gig since 2002. While they are technically still a band, they minds well not be.

Many people my age listen to such crappy music. You should take comfort in the fact that I was at least listening to music that eventually led me to discover Fugazi. And yes, they are currently on hiatus, so no chance seeing them live. I already looked into it.

This woman is just trying to be soooooooooo cutesy with it. Nobody likes her.
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
I don’t get that. I think it must be totally unsatisfying to sneeze that way.
Sometimes, you really just want to hit a b**ch.
Conundrum: really need to get my saxophone cleaned, repadded, and oiled, but don’t want to stop playing for like a week while I wait for it to get done. Kinda wish I hadn’t sold my old sax now.

Why don’t you do it yourself? It’s not hard. Look at it as a DIY adventure.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
It isn’t that hard, but it does require a lot of fine screwdrivers, and a lot of memory to remember what screw went into what part. I was going to suggest that, but a lot of folks I know would rather pay someone else to handle the repair / maintenance than do it on their own. At least with a sax you aren’t dealing with any open finger holes, like on a clarinet…
I need a snappy signature...
Hoya Saxa!
Sorry, JP. Finally, my guys won.

Can we use these threads as a confessional? I bought a car today that my wife can’t drive (because it’s a manual) and now I feel a little guilty, even though she said she was okay with it.

What car? Furthermore, manuals are the only way to go. I couldn’t imagine ever driving an automatic. So…..boring.

Smooth manual in it and a reasonable enough amount of low end torque will make it easy to learn.

Yeah, it would definitely be pretty easy for her to learn in this car. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea!

If you still feel guilty in a couple of weeks just teach her how to drive manual. Problem solved.

Yeah, but I think teaching someone how to drive a stick is a recipe for relationship disaster.

She should know how to drive a stick shift; everyone should. Use this as incentive to teach her.

…or buying a car she can’t drive is a great way of ensuring she doesn’t F up your car by backing into a giant bright yellow pole in a parking garage.

She’ll need to learn if we’re going to try out for The Amazing Race!

So I came up to Philly on Wednesday to visit my friend, and today I was walking in the city and see someone waiting on the other side of the light in a Flyer’s jacket. I them immediately realized that I was wearing my Capitals hat. The look I got was amazing.
