Movie Review: "Wedding Crashers"

10:28 PM |

Christmas in July

I think I'm still recovering from the party Saturday night. Decorations, egg nog, Christmas on shuffle, and about 30 people crammed into our 2 bedroom apartment. We even had one of those ridiculous gift exchanges, where you could steal someone else's gift. When all was said and done, I was left with 4 or 5 pieces of crap that nobody wanted to take home. That's OK... I could use a new shrimp warmer and ABBA's Greatest Hits on DVD. By the way, who invited that Ellen chick? She was a real snob. I love when she complained about our lack of valet parking, and Chris replied that there was plenty of 'valley parking.' Stupid bitch. Someone didn't bring her Christmas spirit.

Now I feel terrible

We have problems. They are always bigger than everyone else's, even if we don't say it out loud. We feel overwhelmed by them. It's as if they will never go away. Lately, I've had issues with my job, my car, and the friggin' insane heat wave. But that is all trivial. A good friend of mine has just lost everything he owns in a freak lightning incident. After all he's been through this year, I get angrier by the second. But at whom? It sucks. It's unfair. And it couldn't happen to a better family. Your in my thoughts, Simpson. Question is, "how's that workin' out for ya?"

Brought to you by Planet Disney

I'm at the A's-Angels game tonight in Anaheim, decked out in a Mets cap, and all I can think about is how big a joke the place is. Everywhere you look, there is an ad for something. Commercials for pickup trucks between innings, wraparound LED screens for State Farm, and lets not forget the CrestCam. I can't believe the men's room wasn't sponsored. Perhaps an ad for In-N-Out. At least the True Value/Mountain Dew Rally Monkey was cool.

Hello

We haven't talked in a while, and frankly, whatever. I even missed my year anniversary of writing this thing. I can't decide if that's some kind of accomplishment or just plain pathetic. I've been pretty busy lately. The first 3 weeks of this new job have been crazy. Also, I was cast in a musical based on the life of Mahalia Jackson. Unfortunately, I had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. Sucks. Let's see, since the last time I wrote, I spent the weekend of the 4th in Lake Arrowhead. I remember there being fireworks.

This week was pretty eventful. Thursday night a bunch of us went to Key Club on Sunset for the 2005 Air Guitar Championships. I'm not kidding. These guys take themselves seriously. Then we partied in the club downstairs to some 80's cover band. It was humorous to see some guys in their late 30's covering songs by Depeche Mode and the Cure. But, they were pretty good. Afterwards, we headed to the Rainbow Room. Cool place. One of the girls was bragging how dome guy from Motorhead grabbed her ass. I guess it's okay if you're a rock star.

Oh, I also started riding my bike again this week. Good timing, considering it's about 105 degrees in the valley right now. Idiot!!!

A Moment in History

You should write this date down somewhere: July 2, 2005. A date that will live in musical infamy. MTV and VH1 have jettisoned their sophisticated intellectual programming for something far simpler. Music. A lot of it. Live. I'm waking up to Live 8, the musical event created by Bob Geldof in yet another attempt to get the filthy rich countries of the G8 to realize that people are dying in Africa because there is nothing to eat. What? Is that still a problem 20 years later? It shouldn't be. But I guess it's hard for people like us to concentrate with all the other noise from Capital Hill about "staying the course." We've been staying the course, and the course sucks.

Whoa, gotta go. Snoop is on.

Why isn't there an Independence Cake?

Weekends are so much more meaningful when you're working full-time. I think I'll go hiking tomorrow, and then it's on to Lake Arrowhead for the rest of the weekend. I might also check out guitars tomorrow. There's something to be said for being able to play an acoustic rendering of N.E.R.D.'s Lapdance by the campfire. Yes, I'm a jackass. But it's my right as an American.
