Patty Griffin got involved with a stinker! I hope at least everyone going to see it will say "holy crap! Who was that singing? I gotta get that soundtrack." http://movies.msn.com/news/article.aspx?news=203863 Actually, with Orlando Bloom, I'm not surprised. He's really like scraping your fingernails on a chalkboard. When my ex and I saw him in "Troy" he really brought an impressive movie down to a cry-baby level. I was hoping things would have changed with this movie because he wouldn't have to be love-lorn like he always portrays (badly), but he must have gone to the same acting school that Keanu Reeves went to. ******NPG burbon street me********** So, I went to a punk bar last night after my regular bar, and this hippy band was playing. It was like surreal. They even had one or two of those "Ricola" things. Some guy on stage was playing a large "Ricola," and there was (I'm guessing) an audience member who just happened to bring one from home??? And there was this weirdo that one moment was next to me with a drink talking to some girl and guy, and then the next minute he was dancing around one of the "Ricola" people. I thought they were going to shout "Reeeeee-colaaaaaaaa" after a while but they never did. Just kept blowing into those weirdo things like it was a spleef. The audience seemed to like it. Note to self: don't go to punk bar on Thursday night. Wrong night for me. I like my "regular" bar (the one I went to before the ever-changing, not-a-dull-moment punk bar). They are already pouring my drink before I even sit down now. And several of the staff call out my name when I walk in. Fantasy accomplished: I'm now Norm from "Cheers!" Now I need to come up with witty phrases like "it's a dog-eat-dog world out there and I'm wearing milkbone underwear." A few pints, and round it off with a nice 12 yr old Macallan. I could get used to that. I still love my Oban, though. But I don't frequent places that seem to carry it. Oh hey speaking of other places. Went to this Irish pub Tuesday night (awesome Boddingtons on freaking tap!!) and this guy next to us used the "I work for the CIA" line. I had never seen that actually used before in action, I've heard of it though. But I guess he was trying to pick up my date or something?? It was really funny. We commented on his small cel phone. His reply: "Yes, I didn't want to get this phone because I only need it for making and receiving phone calls, and not all that other stuff that comes with phones now-a-days. But you know, when you work for the CIA you have to get the phone they want you to get. Even on my days off like tonight I have to have it with me." Wham bam thank you ma'am. I guess you can be who you want to be to strangers. ha ha I wonder how many times that line works for him. Anyone on this list use it? Does it actually work to say something as outlandish as that as a pickup line? That's just too easy!! ha ha I don't think I would want to attract the ones who would fall for that line now that I think about it. But I just keep thinking of that one "M.A.S.H." episode where that guy was visiting their military outpost and he kept saying things like "I work for the CIC, but I tell everyone I work for the CIA so they think that I work for the CIB." ha ha Peace love and vegetable rights, Paul *********************************** * * So, I don't put out on the first date. * It's not my style.
