Entertainment abounds

There is a large, dead spider lying curled up on the floor of my bathroom. His spindly legs are wrapped around his body tighter than Xtina's halter tops and frankly, he disgusts me. I walk into my bathroom from time to time to tell him just that. I look down at the lifeless corpse, snarl up my nose, and say, "You disgust me." Then I get goose pimples and run to the kitchen. Now, I think I shall be brave and go dispose of him. Perhaps I'll get some sick enjoyment out of watching the foul arachnid swirl and swirl and swirl around the toilet bowl before disappearing from my sight forever. Blech.

That toilet bowl remark reminds me of Johnny English. Me and the guys rode out to Hollywood to catch the Bean in action last night, and while I got quite a few laughs out of the flick, I would've preferred to spend my $6 on a movie with less poo. Nah, it was worth it-- I gotta fess up to the Rowan love...

Vaughn and I just watched Punch Drunk Love for the first time. I don't get it. Was there something to get? I liked it, but... Nope. I don't get it.

While we're on entertainment, I'm reading Catch-22 again, but for some reason I'm enjoying it infinitely more this second time around. The dialogue just sends me rolling with chuckles. "I'd rather have peanut brittle crumbs on my cheeks than flies in my eyes!" Ahh it's great. The last few books I've read are Vonnegut's Timequake and God Bless You Mr. Rosewater, Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and now I'm on Joseph Heller-- I can only conclude that I must have a very twisted sense of humor... I just can't get enough of these scathing satires! Especially Vonnegut-- I've loved his more "famous" novels for years, but I've been wanting to get into the more obscure ones. As soon as I finish Catch-22, it's on to Jailbird.

And now... the soundtrack to my life. It took me a ridiculously long time to do this, so don't hate!

If they were making a movie about my life, this is the music I'd pick to play in the background...
