Ah, foreign people and their attempts at english. I just finished putting together a tv/vcr/dvd cabinet (3 hours of frustration, thank you) that was made in Vietnam, and the instructions are... interesting. Stuff like "Do not tight any screws in this step."
The Twin Peaks dvd I got from Hong Kong is similarly amusing. The back cover states that Twin Peaks "mixed the small-town melodrama with the sinister quirkiness". And who can lose with goofy chapter titles like "Lost of Love" and "Death All Together"?

I just finished watching this week's Survivor. I don't care what anyone says about the show - it's brilliant. Sure people act differently in front of a camera. Actually, what could be argued is that their true natures come out. Sure the show is edited for maximum effect. What do you expect - it's entertainment! Survivor is a combination of social study and soap opera, and I can't think of anything more fascinating on tv right now.

Goin' straight to bed.

Well I finally had it. I went to Pizza Hut, found a way to ask for it without naming it, and I ate it. (Only *hard-core* fans of this web log know what I'm talking about.) And after all that fuss, it wasn't even worth it. Well, at least I won't ever have to find a way to ask for it again.
Rest in peace, P'Zon.
(happy, Dave?)

Wow, those were some of the boringest (I love making up words) Oscars ever. Why?
1) Whoopi
2) I wasn't excited about any of the nominated films
3) more sober attitude than usual, perhaps in wake of you-know-what
Also, I think it's embarassing the way Hollywood is celebrating the fact that there were three - count 'em, three - black actors nominated. This is supposed to be remarkable? You call this progress? When less than half the nominees are white, then I'll be impressed.

And the comedy award of the weekend goes to...
...this guy who introduced the movie at the Cumberland this afternoon. I was there to see In the Bedroom. This usher comes to the front of the theatre, and already I'm rolling my eyes, because these guys are usually really bad. He said something like this, in sort of a monotone: "This is a great movie. It's about the triumph of, huh, the human spirit. Of good... over evil. Great movie. Hope you enjoy it. Now I'm going to go refill the napkin dispensers."
Brilliant.
