I should be studying for the GRE Psych test right now. But nooooo...instead I'm listening to the new Zwan album and thinking about how it really isn't all that different than SP (yes, I like it lots). And so I shall wait for the new episode of the Shield to start.

And if indeed
This was like a first marriage
Then you and I together
Can be like divorcees

One of my favorite endings to a novel:

For a long moment, Tina didn't say anything, then she smiled and slipped her hand between his legs.

"I can handle the mutant part, baby, but I never had you pegged as a Republican."

Manny shrugged. "Life's a compromise," he said, and dropped into the wheelchair for the long ride out.

The new Rainer Maria album is FANFUCKINGTASTIC! Even though those bitches at Tower didn't have it on sale.

The Slaughter Rule is finally coming out! It gets released here tomorrow, although, it aired on the Sundance Channel last month. Not that it matters, because stupid Adelphia took Sundance off of the basic cable package. Assholes.

If you're wondering what the big deal about the movie is, it's that Jay Farrar did the score, and I am very eager to hear it. Tomorrow at the Arclight, anyone?

Droo bought me the Pavement DVD for my birthday. It is radical.

Go to Epitonic and download "Love Detective" by Arab Strap because Scottish accents are so fucking rad.

From The Onion:

Humane Society Worker Secretly Glad To See Nippy Dachshund Put Down

MARYSVILLE, OH—Union County Humane Society volunteer Catherine Moncrief, 23, admitted Monday that a small part of her was glad to see Oscar, a nippy, hyperactive dachshund, put to sleep. "I feel really guilty, but when they euthanized him, I was kind of like, 'Ha, ha—serves you right, you obnoxious little shit,'" Moncrief said. "I went through a whole bottle of hydrogen peroxide in two weeks from feeding and washing him." Moncrief then privately mused that the incessantly whimpering cocker in Cage 12 could go next for all she cares.

Tonight, Cartoon Network aired the episode of Futurama that is quite possibly definitive of the entire series.

"Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's love: hard and fast."

In case you're wondering what I was talking about:

Saw Narc today. It was pretty damn intense. Great acting in that one. Now, everyone is always ga-ga over Ray Liotta, who was outstanding as usual. But I was very impressed with Jason Patric.

Make sure, when you see it, to see it on a big screen in a theater with great sound. It will leave your senses on fire, like it did mine.

Oh oh oh so you're the new boy in town?
I've been putting up with you while you're putting me down
I'll tell you one thing, this is my fucking town
You can do what you want but I'll shut you down

Saw you standing
without speaking
Told me that you loved me
with your eyes

SCENE: Bathroom. The Ess-Dog looking at herself in the mirror. Enter me.

Me (in best Forrest Gump voice): I need to pee.
The Ess-Dog: But I'm doing my hair!
Me: Well, that's alright. I can do it just fine--
The Ess-Dog: Ewwwwww....

The Ess-Dog exits.

When I started working at my current job in 2000, I worked a lot with Francis. We became close very quickly, and one of the first things we talked about was whether or not he should ask his then-girlfriend to marry him. We thought about it, he eventually bought the ring, and eventually asked her. She freaked out and decided she was too young to get married, even though she told him she wanted to get married and they'd been going out for like six years.

Fast forward. He gets over her, and with a little matchmaking help from yours truly, he starts going out with Lisa. After about a year and a half of "dating" (more like pseudo-marriage), they got engaged last weekend.

My first response to hearing the news from Francis that he'd asked his girl to marry him:

"Hey, remember when I first met you and you were doing the same thing?"

Well she's got an idea
They take drugs and they go to the park
If you think you're in love
Just wait until dark
