*I Love You, Phillip Morris" has finally been released in the US. I'd been looking forward to getting a chance to check it out, yet now that I have the opportunity I sort of feel like it's a movie that can wait for me to see it on DVD. Why spend $13 to see a movie first-run if you can just wait a couple of months to put down the $13 plus the price of a popcorn and large drink combo to own it. Or $4 to rent it for a week. But, oh, right! if you watch it on the big screen you get to take in the hawtness that is Rodrigo Santoro jumbo-sized. So there's that.
*The album that's on insta-repeat on my iPod this week? Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare. I downloaded it after listening to "Buried Alive" after my brief stint with Pandora, but it's one of the few albums I have now that work very well straight through. "Fiction" is turning out to be my favorite song, followed closely by the finale, "Save Me." And then there's all the drama connected with Nightmare, like Rev dying right before the band hit the studio, the band using a recording of Rev singing "Fiction" on the album (it being the last song he worked on three days before his death), Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater subbing in as a massive bit of artist posthumous wish-fulfillment, and then Portnoy and Dream Theater divorcing. The things one can find out on a slow day when one's trying to decompress from work.
*Also with win? Profic on my Droid. I'm almost through with Jordan Castillo Price's PsyCop series. Commutes are flying by now that I can run around with ten books at my disposal via my Droid and the Kindle app.
*Tuesday nights are Reno 911 nights for me. I don't care that it's repeats of episodes I've most likely seen before. Come 9PM my TV is tuned to LOGO and I'm primed to laugh my ass off. Why is that show so awesome?
