10 most biz-arrrrgh (weirdest) movies of all time (or at least the movies I've seen)

Jason came home from work with a movie "suggestion" for me, meaning it was one of "my type" of movies, meaning "weird." Enough quotations? Yeah, I'm sick of them to so let's get to it. These are in no particular "order  :" (had to do it one last time, sorry)

1. TITUS (it gets caps because I'm currently trying to get it)
2. Mullholand Drive (not bad weird, just weird)
3. The Box (stupid weird)
4. District 9 (whaaaa? )
5. A Clockwork Orange (notably weird, but smart weird)
6. Barton Fink (i get it, but still just weird)
7. Elevator Movie (awfullllly weird)
8. Cold Souls (soul-fully weird)
9. Ink (beautifully and deeply weird)
1o. The Cremaster Cyle (if I missed that one, I'd be remiss)

f-ing white iphone

yeah i said the f word. that shows you how mad i am. about a week ago, my ORIGINAL (not 3g not 3gs) quit working. ok ok, it was my own fault. i happened to introduce it to a little more H2O than cellular telephones allow for and have, thus, been without cellular technology for that time period.

i had ordered the 4 and then cancelled the order. not for the "antenna" problems but because i thought i was in for a wild ride on my monthly bill. i smile that i am grandfathered in by the old iphone policy, but the new one, frankly, sucks and i wonder why anyone would pay such a high monthly bill. to be honest, i'm not really taking advantage of AT&T by any means, myself.

i digress. the elusive white iphone. the moby dick of the cellulars. are you a myth? do you really exist? we heard you were going to be available in the second half of july. then the end of july. if you DO exist, call me.-- Ishmael.

fredericksburg, tx

we took the 45 minute drive up to frederickburg, tx to try out the "napa" of texas. i don't know what i was expecting, but the first stop (the Fredericksburg Winery) wasn't quite it. it was a storefront in the middle of town, the wine was incredibly sweet, and our "guide" was hilarious -- he named his daughter Chardonnay after all. the first thing he did was insult california wine makers, so he didn't start off well.  choose 6 wines to taste for free and $5 for their "premiums..." which were no better than the others. i didn't care for any of the wines they offer, but the crew that works there is very nice and the winemaker talks faster than any human being i've met.

we did enjoy d'vine wine. maybe it was just a nice change of pace, but we took several bottles home as gifts. the pourer recommended a sandwich shop across the street called Rather Sweet: Bakery and Cafe. boy, i could have kissed her. i've dreamed about going back since we left (and we're going there this weekend)!

i had a tomato, basil, and mozzarella sandwich (on fresh, homemade bread) that was just incredible, with a side of tomato basil soup. overkill? no WAY. the sandwich dipped into the soup was pure heaven. i can still taste it right now as i'm writing this. i had a glass of Becker's Iconoclast to compliment my lunch and could have repeated the whole meal for dinner. jason had the BLAT and said it was delicious, but i'll have to take his word for it, because he didn't offer me a bite!

there are several neat stores in town. i came away with a very cute amber butterfly ring and we were most impressed by the granite furniture store.

we ended the trip with Becker Vineyards. this was a little more of what i was expecting. the lavender smelled wonderful and the wine was good. I am a fan of the Iconoclast for a great, under $10 bottle. in all, it was a fantastic day and i can't wait to go back.

Natasha Leggero

I think Natasha Leggero is really funny. She's one of the judges of this season's Last Comic Standing -- if you don't watch it, it's exactly what it's title implies, a reality show for stand up comedians whereby the least funny are voted off each week. I have to say that this is one of my favorite shows, minus the host every year (Craig Robinson you fail me over and over). It's one of my favorites because I love comedy and love to laugh. Usually the contestants have had years of experience, so they know what they're doing and their sets are short, so you get the cream of their crop.

But back to my opening statement, Natasha is funny. However, on this show, it's not coming through. She seems to be a little whacked out and hardly ever even gives good observations. Is she supposed to be the "Paula Abdul" of LCS? If so, she's doing her job, but I prefer funny Natasha.

PS - Go MyQ!!! You're smart and funny as heck.
