ejaculations.

I saw Syriana with Meg and Jeremy. I liked Syriana, great time, very stereotypical of me. Sat next to couple that was having a more great time. Some examples:

1. Early in the film, CEO of an oil company character says something about wanting to give profit back to the people. The male part of the equation let's out a hearty "No your not!" and drifts back into silence. We wonder if it is a singular incident.

2. It's not, woman begins saying "Uh oh" and my personal favorite, "Did you see that?" at what seems to be random intervals.

3. The woman brings her purse out and apparantly has brought her kitchen. She comsumes loudly two cans of coke, a bag of cheetos, and a box of tic tacs which she drops seven times, and looks for seven times.

4. About 2/3 way through the movie, the man picks up the habit of repeating the last word in every sarcastic/cynical/funny line. It tapers off.

5. When the woman has a specific epiphany about the progression of the plot, she literally screams, "OH NO!". This is made funnier by the fact that her epiphany is about sixty seconds behind the rest of the audience.

6. She literally gasps for breath when surprised. I'm not talking about a "oh you scared me" gasp. I'm talking about a "You've got a knife and are stabbing me with it" gasp.

In short, I love people. I at least respect that if they were going to talk in a cinema or theatre, that they at least had the foresight to make it entertaining for me.

I've also been reading Mamet's Romance. It's like Mamet watched Harvey Birdman while writing it

Thanks to all the peeps from the party last week.

Indeed, thanks to all the peeps in general
