Ross’ Neighborhood

I'm watching it on AMC right now.  It's been awhile.  Jaws is one of my favorite films, and the sequel is nothing more than a cheap knockoff with less talented people and a very obviously tired and resigned Roy Scheider, but it has a certain lunatic charm.  It is simultaneously ridiculous and awesome.  The shark is an unstoppable, superpowered cyborg killing machine.

Next time you're watching a movie, and you're thinking that maybe it's a badass flick, ask yourself this question:

Does it feature a shark eating a helicopter?

If the answer is "no", then it is my solemn duty to report that the film is less awesome than Jaws 2.

I haven't had one in a long time. but I must confess to being totally smitten by the Progressive Insurance cashier.

Jill thinks I'm crazy.

Here is her imdb page.  Look how damn cute she is.

Sorry, I have no videos of aliens taking over the world, or exploding White Houses or anything.  What I do have is the best video EVER. EVER.

Happy 4th of July! Try not to burn anything down with your crazy fireworks, ok?

me: Yay, I have you addicted to Bellen now!

How are you celebrating the 4th of July?

I washed a very large dog and a load of laundry, cooked five meals (so far) and have to go pick up a prescription.

Livin' the rock star life, I am!

I guess? If I read correctly...Marvin was the first to actual release the track? If'n I'm wrong....I'm sure one of you smarty pants will fix it/make it all better...

This is one of those albums I've had forever and this popped during a Party....shuffle session...

I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Kaiser Chiefs

Let's see if this works:

Once you click the image...you should be takne to a page where you can click a link to view the original.
All this just to show/say that I like the new home page. It shows new stuff added to your library which is cool...but what I really dig is that I can see what my friends are listening to real time and in the recent past.  It did this in the old version but I like this set up and it keeps friend tracks listed longer...giving me a better chance of snagging the good stuff. Ha!
Even if you aren't a subscriber, I think you can join the beta group at last.fm and eventually get access. I think that's how it worked for me (but honestly...no clue)

happy 4th! 

CSA week 8 - July 4 2008

broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, garlic scapes, green zucchini and yellow crookneck squashes, daikon radish, swiss chard.       
tons of stuff.  this early in the season I'm already sick of the squashes - not too fond of them to begin with.

the daikon should be interesting. the only way I've ever had it is shredded, a garnish in a sushi plate.
