Never Go with a Hippie to a Second Location

Books
I’ve read a couple books by Kate Atkinson. This new one,
One Good Turn , continues a character from another novel, Jackson Brodie. I like this character. He’s an ex Magnum P.I. The story is an intelligent mystery/thriller with interesting characters. This is the third book in a row that I’ve read that takes place in the United Kingdom. I’m done with the Brits for a bit. I just bought an armload of books from Borders and it’s safe to say none have a cockney accent.

TV
American Idol seduces me every time with the goddamn auditions and then I can’t stop watching. UGH! My dirty little secrets. I LOVE the Danny Dude this year! He’s flippin’
hilarious.

Movies
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is one of the longest and most boring movies I have ever seen. Brad Pitt looked like a vampire. There was some cool camera stuff, but my God, edit, please.

And completely opposite of the Jesse James movie - one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time was
The King of Kong. You can’t make up stuff this good.

Music
Love this song:
Taper Jean Girl .

King of Kong was hard to watch... that one dude (the champ) with the ponytail was one of the most annoying people i've ever encountered in film... so freakin arrogant. i actually had to turn it off because the nerds were driving me nuts.
