The Room

I want to thank you once again for showing me the brilliance that is The Room. It has truly been the gift that keeps on giving, and though I have been accused by an uninformed first-time watcher to be "too into soft-core porn these days," I continue to make it my mission to spread the good word of Tommy Wiseau.

There is an old theater in Houston that shows movies at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, but until about a month ago, I didn't know they were showing cult classic terrible titles. I stumbled into it randomly with a friend when we were trying to avoid going to another bar and we took in the magic that is Troll 2 (available on Netflix). The girl at the candy counter excitedly informed me that they were screening The Room on Nov 24th, and that Tommy himself would be making an appearance. No surprises here, Tommy didn't show up, but we did, and got the full spoon-throwing, audience quote-along experience. A flask of vodka may or may not have made its way in hidden in my jacket. Good times.

Mobius Bagel

Whilee the orange still stands as a predictor for a good day, I'd like to introduce the mobius bagel. Amazing things can happen.

Also, you must watch this opening scene of Red Dead Redemption.. Better late than never in this case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrJeLiDd4wo&feature=player_embedded#! I'm really into it. I'm convinced this is what our danish Grandmas were saying!

jane CASTS her vote (haha-GET IT?!)

With the unfolding of last night's returns I can't help but be reminded of our last presidential election. Picture it: København. Election night, 2008. Jane comes stumbling into Tåsingegade with an arm cast and an arsenal of crazy stories. "I fell out of the bus! Some guy pushed me! I got run over by a rogue biker!" Everyone gets a different story and is appropriately concerned, but not appropriately suspicious.

Jane pulls Kim aside and confides: "I didn't really break my arm, I made it all up. The cast is a fake, see."

"Jane, that's really weird of you. I'll go with it though."

Lots of drinking and a trip to the Happy Pig. Erik makes a comment along the lines of "Is Jane on ludes tonight?" and Jesse, sensing that your judgement may be optimally impaired, sees opportunity:

What a stand-up dude.

Today I learned

http://news.yahoo.com/tasmanian-devils-sneaky-contagious-cancer-evolves-000816820.html Some cancers are contagious. WTF. As if my irrational worries about nearly everything haven't escalated enough... Considering its yahoo news/ livescience, I probably should not believe it.
