| pet peeve | my birthday day started with the power being out for about 4 hours and me imagining a terrorist attack had knocked out the entire east coast power grid |
| obsession du jour | my new dvd player and the "bonus" tracks--i know they are tired to everyone else but they are new to me |
| to do | see following and before night falls on dvd |
| ponder | the usefulness of "blame" |
| sports team du jour | i don't have one for today but i think vince carter is cute and i worry about him after reading his comments about charles oakley knocking him down in the game against the bulls where carter said he wasn't bothered by oakley's actions because it was like when your mother hits you and you think she hates you, and you don't know if you should call the cops or not. |
| sounds | the blank generation dvd i borrowed and who the hell is harry toledo? i liked his segment tons but i can't find info about him |
| film | memento. i just finished watching it, too bad i can't remember it. i bet there were a lot of bad jokes about that film, but it was really masterful in the way they fucked with time and sequencing of events and it is really similar in some ways to philip k. dick's a scanner darkly |
| tv | coverage of shoebombs |
| book | delirious new york |
| objet d'art on display somewhere | the christmas tree at the metropolitan museum of art--i sometimes go to see it and i want to go this year |
| food | roast beef |
| beverage | diet coke |
| people | were too plentiful at the gym today. i thought they were all supposed to be going elsewhere |
| random additions or subtractions from any or all of the above | i'm happy that we are back to inept terrorists who pretend to be from belgium (cuz we all know people spend money NOT to be from belgium) and take their ideas from get smart's shoephone |
many thanks to my friend at Nerdslut for allowing me to rip her off
and to the starmeister for telling frontpage is not scary
