my sister, pictured at left, called me up to inform me that my guestbook wasn't working. i quickly told her that, no, it is just that no one has signed it since july and there is no need to be snide.
then she tells me that "uh-uh", she's tried signing it twice and her message never got posted.

so i got a new one (see evidence at right). so, er, i hate to beg, but why don't one of you guys sign it and we'll see how well the sucker works.
go on. do it. it gives me a happy.

so i had to take a couple of things off my wishlist 'cause mom and i celebrated my birthday early. i got Swingers and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, as well as Bjork's Debut. Why haven't I linked to these items here so you can see what the (early) brithday girl received? Because i shoulda had these staples of entertainment long ago. i am ashamed. ashamed and grateful. thanks mom.

I saw the Legend of Drunken Master Friday night at my local monolithic Carmike cinema. I had never before sat down to watch a Kung-Fu movie, and was planning on simply eating some oil-soaked popcorn and appeasing the boy. Funnily enough, I only yawned once. It wasn't half-bad. The fighting was obviously amazing, and of course the story was nothing to speak of but somehow it was enjoyable. "Down the hatch!"

I also took in Best in Show, as i am a *huge* fan of Waiting for Guffman (which, much to my hooray, is coming out on DVD and is rumored to have 2 hours of deleted scenes. if there is commentary from Christopher Guest, i may just buy a DVD player for that sole reason.), his second movie.
i was a little disappointed in Best in Show but still i snickered. no belly laughs, but that is okay. snickers are very good. I think that it will likely be much better on subsequent viewings. I can already tell it is ripe with quotable quotes for the picking.
