My Dinner With Irony
For some reason Joe and I were suddenly debating whether or not the guy sitting at the table with Wallace Shawn in Melinda And Melinda was actually Andre Gregory, seeing as how neither of us has pretty much seen him since (still haven't seen Vanya On 42nd Street) but it turns out it wasn't. Just some other dude that sorta looked like him. Woulda been kinda funny if it was.
Also funny? How the world tends to look from a over-the-counter drug-induced haze. Wallace And Gromit in the Curse Of the Were-Rabbit was delightful fun but viewing the pic through Nyquil-goggles put more bunny rabbits hippity-hopping through the lobby after the movie let out and I wandered a bit trying to find the ladies' room. Not to mention right after when we walked over to my record store at got to see how utterly surreal a Saturday afternoon looked from the POV of a paying customer. And paying I was, as I plucked the two remaining used CDs from my hold bin. One being Twin Cinema by The New Pornographers...
This is their brand spankin' new disk but as usual I've been waiting for everything new that I want to come in used. Same ol' money issues and all that, y'know. Still, very happy to have.
And for the heck of it, Lard's Pure Chewing Satisfaction...
Not quite sure why. I suppose I've been feeling a tad nostalgic for that late 80's/early 90's music epoch when "The Power Of Lard" was practically the theme song for me 'n my posse, and how The Last Temptation Of Reid got a tremendous amount of airplay in our cars driving around town all night and goofing off like the derelicts we liked to think we were. Guess we'll see how this compares.
Anyway, just happy I got to carry my sick ass out of the house for a few hours this afternoon. Something about laying about in bed in my jammies just reminds me of how miserable I feel, so getting out and about a bit took my mind of my schnoze quite gratefully. Not to mention the extra-spicy vegetable chow fun at PF Chang's is a sure fire remedy for opening up those stubborn sinuses.

I've downloaded some stuff from Twin Cinema off of the madador (sp?) site, and it was SO good.
Feel better soon!
