Wow dangles, I just saw Flesh and Bone and Leaving Las Vegas, roughly 24 hours apart; they were both amazing.  Maybe I’ve been having a stroke of bad luck(regardless of my disdain for golf, or at least the idea of golf), but these are the best two movies I have seen in a mildly long time.  Maybe I'm having a stroke. I think what surprised me was that the two male lead roles were, respectively, Dennis Quaid and Nicolas Cage, neither of whom I am particularly fond of.  They both did really well, and I endorse this message.

I am the cling clang king of the rim ram room.

I just read Nine Stories, which was great and I hear Salinger has stories marked for publication upon his death.  I’m reading Apathy and Other Small Victories again, for a hilarity check.  Need to make sure the world’s still there. 

The second half of a champagne bottle is never as fun as the first.
