I’m serious. I know the haters hate it but holy crap its so amazing.

Check out the scene above. So many things make it awesome. The random body percussion. Watching Alison (daughter of Brian)Williams’s face shift from shy pleasure about having a song sung about her to horror and eventually anger. Jessa’s quiet pleasure at watching this whole. HAHHAAHAHAHA

BODY PERCUSSION!

• 6 out of every 7 plastic forks sold or distributed in the United States are never used
• 91.2% of people living in Idaho would like to live in Hawaii, but only .03% if people living in Hawaii would like to live in Idaho

My old lady and I went to watch Whit Stillman’s Damsels in Distress on Friday. The movie was fine even entertaining but not awesome. I spent the bulk of the cab ride home explaining to Et2 that Greta Gerwig is on the verge of really breaking thru as an actress and has a bunch more movies coming out. ET2 was not convinced.

I will say that the movie though entertaining made me wish I was watching one of Stillman’s earlier efforts for the first time. I have always considered The Last Days of Disco one of the underrated movies of the 90s. Just great dialogue and strong work all around and also a a very real launching pad for Kate Beckinsdale who was too hot for words for most of the movie.

Everybody dance!

I’ve got a problem. A BIG problem.

I’m not sure when it happened, or whether anything actually did happen, but lately I’ve noticed I’m incapable of answering a simple question. It’s a question that I get all the time, and I just don’t have an answer.

“So, what have you been up to?”

This, and the related “What’s been going on with you?” put me in a state of near paralysis. I get lost for words. I don’t know what to say. I stammer. I try to remember what I’ve been up to, but draw a blank. I look down at the floor, and then up at the ceiling,  and then I ultimately resort to dodging it – “Not much. What’s been up with you?”

What’s going on Hosers? Is it that I haven’t been up to anything? Do you think I’ve been up to anything? Do you know what’s going on with me? If so, please share it in the comments so I can be prepared the next time someone lobs this attack at me.

Thanks in advance!

Last night I boarded a train at 14th street – 11 stops away from Casa KB/KB2. Nonetheless, as soon as I took one look at this guy, I knew he was getting off with me in Park Slope (but only because Willliamsburg isn’t on the F line).

What we have here is a dude with:

• Thick beard
• Corduroy fedora (“pork pie” hat in Sparks parlance)
• Spikeless tassled golf shoes
• Skinny jeans rolled up to expose a flourish of red sock
• Seemingly hand made / rough hewn messenger bag strung over a knee, so as not to touch the (yucky) ground
• And to top it all off he was crocheting a doily looking thing. Shamelessly.

This trip keeps getting better and better!!! The prior was the best Atlanta had to offer, now I’m seeing Houston for all it’s worth. They might have a Picasso in the lobby, but the real eye candy is on the 3rd floor.

Reading up on Coachella earlier today, I realized that ATDI had reunited and was like “Holy Crap!” and went trolling for video. Though not at their millennial peak…these guys are still pretty rock and roll. The Coachella video online is not as solid sound  quality as this, a warm up gig in Austin a few weeks ago, but you can see thousands upon thousands of kids who were 14 year old post-hardcore nerds the first time they heard ATDI  freaking the F out when these guys hit the stage.

Pretty intense…
