Failure is the theme today, in a very nice way...

Well thanks to the random mention of a certain blogger, I've been listening to Failure for about a day and a half. I'm done with it now. But hey, you know, thanks SO MUCH for that. Cause listening to The Nurse Who Love Me on repeat is always healthy for the psyche.

Saw The Fall: Do you like movies with amazing cinematography and plots where adults try to fuck with kids in terrible cold-hearted ways? I mean, who doesn't? I LOVE this movie. You should put it on your Netflix list now.

Oh god, speaking of weird internet communities that invade your inbox, I'm finally some what participating in Facebook. I gotta say, so far, it's not as visual as Myspace, and I can't put my Twitter feed in it, so it's probably just going to be another place to read these posts. I don't have the patience to learn the various tricks. But if anyone does know how to insert Twitter, let me know...

Saw The Wrestler: I know this isn't going to be the word commonly used to describe this movie, but it was heart-breakingly cute. And sad of course. But really cute too. Tragic death of man movies can be cute, look at Pi right? Which reminds me that I have yet to see Choke.

I tried to make braised chicken last night for dinner, and was too drunk to remember how I did it last time, so I used red wine instead of white, and it was not great. I mean, it was edible, but it wasn't anything to brag about.

Today I'm trying to use all the fruit in my fridge before it goes (more) bad. So banana bread, clementine cake, and banana curry ice cream are on the docket today.
Hopefully my subject line will not jinx me here....Wish me luck!

  1. Was I the one that mentioned Failure? Because I LOVE that band - Ken Andrews is a genius, even if his poppier stuff of late hasn't been totally wonderful. Still, Fantastic Planet is one of my all time favorite albums, easily in the top 3 or 4.

  2. Mmmm. Banana Bread sounds pretty much amazing right about now :)

    I got all excited when CB said Ken Andrews (for a minute) and then I was like "Oh. I thought he meant Andrew Kenny". . .Unless it is another inside joke/deliberate mistake*

  4. CB: Yes it was you. Yes, it was fantastic planet. Yes, I don't know who andrew kenny is either. A quick google search reveals he is one of those indie hanger on songwriters who tour with everyone and are on every album ever.

    K&J: Banana bread WOULD be fantastic, planetwise, if my freaking oven would work :( Ironically, I'm writing this comment not signed in, so I have the word verification question, and the word is, not kidding, OVENESS.

    I'm suffering from a lack of Oveness.
