  1. B. Terroir Blues

     

    I HATE the backwards tracking stuff "space noise" or whatever he calls it between songs on that album.

     

    I mean....WTF IS that anyways? Was that his arty response to YHF or something?

     

    Makes it tough to throw it on the player. Otherwise, its an ok album.

  2. Man, I've only ever heard good things about Exotica before this. Never seen it, but I've always been interested - particularly because The Sweet Hereafter's one of my favorites.

     

    You know how it goes........to each their own and all that......the reason I got it was because of Eberts recent column gushing all about it......but for my wife and I, we saw the plot twists a mile away and just tore it apart. That along with one thread of the plot being completely dropped from the story about halfway thru made it a film we just couldnt buy in to.

  3. Ryoko was awesome. Loved his work.

     

    When I was 13, I stole a placard from a Tribune newspaper box that featured his face and name.....and put it on my bedroom wall.

     

    Was it nerdly to do that? Hell ya.

     

    Was I wrong to think of him as my hero? Hell no.

     

    I wish I still had that thing....

  4. "Exotica"...directed by Atom Egoyan.....which features a stripper who doesnt strip. Slow and contrived. My wife and I decided the only way we'd make it thru was to give it the MST3K treatment which made it much more palatable.

  5. Nice use of the best Patsy Cline song ever last night.

     

    I recognized it was Patsy but didnt know the song..........whats the title of that number?

     

    About the episode, I thought it was the weakest of the season.

  6. I tried the leash/harness thing once.

     

    After struggling to get it on properly, we brought her outside where she proceeded to get out of the harness in about 3 seconds and booked into the alley. I found her after some time hiding in a bush. Brought back in the house, where she remained for 7 years until we moved from Chicago. Then that cat took to the outdoors like a fish takes to water. Instinct is an amazing feature.

  7. I was wondering if those who consider themselves overtippers used to do food or bev service now or at some point prior in life?

     

    I worked a second job as a waiter for a year in order to buy a diamond for my lady.........so I understand completely how hard the job can be. That being said, I wont reward poor service or poor attitudes with big tips. Normally, I'll tell the waiter my thoughts on why they sucked and then leave whatever change I have in my pocket.
