Movie : Failure to Launch

It made me feel really lame.

Recommend? If you are a boy and you still live with your parents you might feel really lame.

Food: Stinky Cheese

So, every time I go to the grocery store, I habitually wander by the fancy cheese island and sniff the Limburger cheese, because it's got such an amazingly terrible smell, and because I could never imagine what I could possible do with it. So, I never bought any. But, what do you know, Wednesday night Jingping and I go to the store and she says I should buy it because she thinks it would be a simple matter just to fry some tofu and throw the cheese in there. Today for lunch we get to try it.

Recommend: If you like smells/tastes which remind you vaguely of locker rooms, dog food, and really old beer, then buy up! It also makes you and your apartment smell perpetually like locker rooms, dog food, and really old beer. It wasn't bad, though. And I still have like 3/4 of the block left, anybody have any ideas?

Movie : The Hills Have Eyes (the new one)

Truly, I have never seen a movie where so many people got pick-axed in the head. This movie also had a crapload of blood. In one scene, a deformed mutant killer man suckles at this lactating young mother's teats while she watches this other deformed guy try to rape her sister.

Recommend? Hell yes I do. But don't go thinking it's scary. Because it's not. It's just really violent.

Comics : JTHM

Fun to re-read after not having read them in about eight years. Who besides Nny would drill into your skull, and then, since it's taking longer than expected, offer to make you a sandwich? He's such a nice homicidal maniac.

Recommend: Yes. Especially if you are in a mood.

Food: Pig's Feet

Tonight for dinner: Bean soup with pig feet, chicken hearts and gizzards with vegetables, and tomato and egg soup. I have never eaten a pig's foot. No, no, I *had* never eaten a pig's foot. Now I have certainly eaten a pig's foot. And chewed on pig foot bones. And sucked squishy pig foot skin off of boiled pig foot toes. Those things are complicated. It's not really meat, see; it's lots of bones, 'cause you see feet have lots of bones in them. And there's skin and lots of tendons and ligament and things, which are all soft and gelatinous. And there's a little meat, which is precious, precious, precious. I will say what I said to Jingping: I am not disappointed by these pig feet. These certainly meet my expectations.

Recommend: I have definitely now eaten a pig foot. Or at least, half of a pig foot.
