Thumbs Up: Chet Baker. I've been listening to more and more of his stuff lately and it makes me happy. Good Sunday morning music to soothe that killer hangover.
Thumbs Down: That killer hangover. An oddity considering the closest I came to an alcoholic beverage last night was a Diet Coke. I think this may be payback for all those nights I got merry and woke up the next morning feeling fantastic. In the words of the incomparable Riggs -- I'm getting too old for this shit.
Thumbs Up: The trailer for Rob Zombie's reimagining of Halloween. When I first heard about the project, I was weary. Having seen House of 1000 Corpses and knowing of Zombie's penchant for low-budget gore, I was worried that he'd turn one of my favorite movies into a Karo-swathed bloodbath with no correlation to the original except the name. But the trailer doesn't look too bad. Not a huge fan of the new mask (stitching? Really?) or the jump-cuts (MTV-style editing has ruined a generation of filmmakers....and this coming from a girl who counts Baz Luhrmann as one of her favorite directors), but hopefully, the picture will deliver. One of the scariest things about Halloween was Carpenter's use of light and shadow to terrify as opposed to visceral carnage. Hopefully, Zombie keeps this in mind.
Thumbs Down: Allergies. In addition to being allergic to crunchy peanut butter, excessive sunlight, pseudophedrine, caffeine, certain types of laundry detergent and fabric softener and orange juice -- I've discovered that I am allergic to clean cars. I have a rash on my foot due to car shampoo. Nice.
Thumbs Up: New episodes of The Sopranos and Entourage tonight. I've come to the very disturbing conclusion that if I was not with my ridiculously cute boyfriend, I would date Turtle (not Jerry Ferrara. Turtle). It would be the greatest relationship ever -- hang out in Los Angeles, play video games, smoke cheeba, drink and eat. Sometimes, it kind of worries me just how much like a 14-year-old boy I really am.
Thumbs Down: The United States Postal Service. They were supposed to deliver Dan's birthday present on Friday and he still hasn't gotten it. Apparently, my definition of 'Priority Mail' and USPS' vary greatly. Hopefully it gets there by Monday and if it doesn't....well, I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do.
