but why's the rum gone?

I have a tendency to harass my friends who do not update as frequently as I would like, and so I thought I would extricate myself from my hypocrisy and post something. I have wanted to blog all day long, though I have little to say. Perhaps it is because I am trying to work on a screenplay and am trying to save all of my wit and insight for that. I apologize that you are left with the few remaining trappings that I have to offer. I am currently listening to Orange Sky by Alexi Murdoch. It's a wonderful song that was in Garden State, but did not make it on the soundtrack unfortunately. But thank goodness for Napster. Speaking of good music, All Kinds of Time by Fountains of Wayne was in Scrubs tonight. I'll have to use my last free music credit to download that one. Hooray for a return of new episodes. Tuesdays have become my new amusement night. In college it was Thursdays, I would watch the first two hours of NBC's Thursday line-up. This was back before the days of The Apprentice, when these two hours were taken up by sitcoms. It's nice to have one night of the week dedicated to nothing more than simple laughter. I now turn to Gilmore Girls, Scrubs and Committed on Tuesday nights for that. Scrubs is the one show on tv that is guaranteed to make me laugh. I used to say that about South Park too, but after that demented Christmas episode a couple weeks ago I've been taking a South Park hiatus. Speaking of demented, did you catch the Golden Globes? What the crap is with giving Leonardo my name is better suited for a renaissance painter or ninja turtle DiCaprio best actor over Johnny Depp? I don't think I will ever understand that one. Amazingly talented hotness vs. non-hotness whose best acting was all done 10 years ago. I mean are there any films in which Johnny Depp is not fantastic? Admittedly there are several that I have not seen, but the ones I have seen are all money. He's Captain Jack Sparrow & Edward Scissorhands for goodness sake! Any opinions on this one? Oscar nominations come out next Tuesday, should be interesting.

Happy hump day everyone! Don't take it like that. Watch for flying monkeys, they're pretty cheeky bastards.

(For those of you with cable and an appreciation for really good television, check out Ed now airing weekdays on TBS. It's on at noon here, so probably the same for you eastern people & 11 for you central people & I have no idea for you crazy mountain people, check your tv guide. If you've never seen the show you are missing one of the best series television has ever offered us.)
