Ugh! I’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on my 49 trivia questions. The big event is tomorrow night, 8pm at the Hopvine on Capitol Hill. Come early if you’re coming, cuz I think it will be crowded. Am I nervous? YES I AM, thank you. I think my questions are too hard and annoying, but I hope people have fun with them anyway. I sent them out to a few friends to see what they think… the early results are basically, “Wow, that’s trivial…”
In other news, I did a little late-night shopping last night at Whole Foods, and here is my complaint: They have row upon row of sparkling Italian bottled water… why? When I was in Italy, I drank a ton of the stuff, and I know it’s great. But it’s pretty damn irresponsible to ship tens of thousands of glass bottles of the stuff around, isn’t it? Yes, yes, I know… once you start down that rabbit hole, where do you stop? But still, it suddenly annoyed me.
Speaking of shipping heavy precious items around, I’ll be heading out later this week for a few days in glamorous Moscow, ID! Then the new job starts Monday. Oh, plus later this week I’m HurryDating, how mortifying. Still, chin up, chuff chuff, egad, what what! Righto, old boy?
Righto!
Oh, and I want to comment quickly on Schizopolis and Knocked Up. On the former, I just have to say that it barely makes any sense at all, is funny in a few places, and is (like Full Frontal) just vanity filmmaking. Knocked Up made me laugh a lot, and I kind of lump it with Superbad as a movie that features really coarse and disgusting immature guys but ends up showing their surprisingly soft human side, and they end up being pretty likeable. However, neither are movies that are going to lead to any advances in the perception of women among, well, anybody.
