Lauren and I are heading to fountain bowl.

I recently saw this article in the L.A.Times Magazine about this play/spokenword/standup comedy bit where real people come up and vent their teen angst by reciting excerpts from their diary, a love letter, poetry, etc.
Get Mortified
Next show in L.A. is Jan 17 and 19. And anyone can audition.

I'm very disappointed in you, movie going audience. I know I've been neglectful and that last weekend was Halloween, but that is no excuse for making Saw 2 the #1 movie in America. That is just plain wrong. Especially when revival houses all over the city were offering some fantastic alternatives. Heck, the New Beverly was doing a double feature of Lost Boys and Land of the Dead. Wouldn't that have been the perfect movie set for a Halloween weekend?

Why do you torture me like this? Please, end the cycle and stop seeing bad movies. Good cinema begins at home.

1) Jarhead
2) The Dying Gaul
3) Chicken Little

Happy Halloweee and a delightful Day of the Dead to you!
After years of apartment living, I finally live in a place where I can decorate to my heart's content and give out candy to the Trick or Treaters. This year, Tink and I made Shrunken Heads. Didn't they turn out great?
