1. I don’t care what you say. “Lady in the Water” is a good movie. There are flaws. I won’t deny that. But the characters are so likable and the story is refreshing somehow. Not your typical thriller/hero story/dramady. There is a magic realism vibe that hits home for me. Favorite movie of the summer so far. There. I said it.
2. Settlers of Catan is the new coolest nerd-game. We played two nights in a row, and I won once and came in second once. That means that the game is awesome. I strongly recommend it to the following readers: Liz & J, Sonny, Jon, and Larry F. I moderately recommend it to everyone else (as it is a strategy game, which is deadly boring to many, many people. Myself usually included. But not this time. Probably because I won.) Here are a bunch of nerds playing this nerd-game:
3. They are filming a movie across the street from my apartment. It’s called “Feast of Love” and stars Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear. If you give me a dollar you can come stargaze from my window. For two dollars you can show your ta-ta’s to Kinnear after getting his attention by shouting “Look at me!!”
4. Why is it so hard for me to blog when I have all this time on my hands? I could be blogging 6 hours a day, for crying out loud. It would be pretty boring blogging though. Adios!

oooh! hexagons!!
dude, i really want to be in on the next game of settlers. also, maybe i can score a job on that movie by just walking onto set and moving stuff around.
You seriously need to flash your own ta-tas to Mr Kinnear and Mr Freeman and then blog about it.
wow. my ex would always shout “settle catan!” randomly and now i know what the eff he’s talking about!
When I was a young nerd, younger than I am today, we’re talkin’ Max Headroom young here, I played a game called Gammarauders. It too featured hexagons. It also offered fantastic airbrushed pictures of heavily chromed cyborgs lumbering about the desert. I miss those.
heh, yeah dude:

Eeew!
Settlers is a cult game in Germany, and if you’re German and you don’t like it, you’re a big loser. Naturally, I have my German game and have introduced it to Americans deemed worthy… How exciting there now is a version where I don’t have to translate everything!
Oh Wow, I didn’t know people actually played that game! I have seen it before and thought it looked fun, but I assumed it was too nerdy for anyone to learn the rules . . . unless they were already way too into Dungeons and Dragons or something. Are you going to play again? Can I play? Let’s meet at Jitters and teach Kinnear and Freeman how to play also!
