Where have I been? I have been sick. Where have I been? Sick in bed. How sick have I been? Sick enough to watch Cher, Eva Mendez, Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear in "Stuck On You," people I don't know in the maybe-vampire indie movie "Habit," Eddie Vedder and Laird Hamilton discussing honoring the wave in "Iconoclast," and Kevin Costner as a serial killer, with William Hurt as his wacky sidekick, in "Mr. Brooks."
You don't want to know the dreams I am having. That list? That's the worst possible in-your-feverish dreams/cocktail party combination ever.

Who here is going to Comic-Con this summer? I am advised, as a writergrrl, to attend. And yet, I don't write about graphic novels or most gang buster movies the kids today, with their shiny newfangled phones, like to watch or oh, so much of what will be there. My last conventions were in the the '80s, when I hung at Boskone, drinking Peppermint Schnapps with big girls in chain mail and attending all-night animation marathons. So, you know, I'm more than a little out of my league, plus out of the all the loops.

Uh oh... RDJR, what is that? A music video? Why do you have a strange country twang in your music video? Why is there a cello being plucked by some headless person? I actually don't hate the song-- but your performance, RDJR, leaves much to be desired. Better stick to your day job, m'friend. Not sure what that is exactly, but I don't think it involves cellos. Oh, and Happy Easter, B!
Yeah, that's not the singing voice I would have pictured either. (The one in which "hand" becomes "hey-and.")
Barbara, I hope you found this video after the fever.
I hope you are feeling better.
How was "Mr. Brooks"? I love William Hurt, but I'm not crazy about Kevin Costner, so I didn't see this movie.
I just heard about the "Stuff White People Like" blog this morning. There's an article on boston.com about it. I'll definitely be going back to the beginning and reading the whole thing! How can people be offended by it? I think it's hilarious.
