Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jill Sobule doing Hot in Herre.
This is how Nelly would have sounded if he were a folk artist in the 60s. And a girl. Complete with banjo, harmonica, tamborine, and other traditional hip-hop instruments.
And does anyone know what is with the "Herre" spelling? I hate to sound like the uncoolest square ever, but I always want to read that as, well, "Herr-eh," like the German Herr with an e at the end.
One of the streets in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago is Goethe Street. The hoity-toiity who live around there pronounce it "properly," but your average Chicagoan will normally say "Go-thee."
Not the bus-stop recorded announcer guy, though. He pronounces it right.
Grindhouse. I think I'm insane.
Was that a review or a premonition (I posted my spoiler-free opinion in Movies)?
DH reported Grindhouse as fun, but not nearly as much fun as he expected. And he is a big fan of both Tarantino and Rodriguez.
The crowd reacting was a big portion of the fun, and that seemed to peak on the non-feature segments (a few gross-out/action moments aside).
Unfortunately, there was a whole row of wannabee-hipster fanboys in front of me who seemed to be determined to not enjoy it for some reason. The louder the rest of the crowd reacted, the more stone-faced and "tsk"-y they got.
Apparently all of the suck decided to hit in the earlier part of this week, because I went shopping and scored two shirts, two skirts, and a pair of jeans for what I could have spent on a single dress. There was a package of goodies from my mom waiting in the building foyer. I just took a ridiculously long nap, and I have awesome hair.
I think herre is pronounced differently. Not sure if she does it, but the Dirrty South guys sure do.
Grindhouse. Migraines. Ya know.
I enjoyed it, but I despair of a normal life. I suppose at some point I should just suck it up and accept it. Eh. Maybe tomorrow.
What I'm amusing myself with this morning: The Purple Store! Finally, a place for people like me (I am to purple the way msbelle is to pink). I wonder if they have purple bedsheets....
Grindhouse. Migraines. Ya know.
I was afraid that's what you meant. Sorry to hear that.
I have purple bedsheets. I think Wamsutta makes them. They're really nice, but basic and not super-expensive.
These are about the same color, though a diff brand. [link]
There is no bad mood that I can't cure by seeing my cats attempt to fight. They go all.... Matrix. I swear they somehow slow down time, and do bullet time in-the-air smack downs.
