In addition to the fake ivy posted about before, I found a bag full of assorted fake foliage, including orange colored leaves for fall and poinsettias and pine branches for Xmas. Anyone want these as decorations? Could the theatre(s) on here use them as set dressings?

The items that I mentioned in a previous post is now on display on my flickr account, under the appropriate title "Swag." Click on each item to see a description and a price (some is already free). I live in West Roxbury, and yes, I realize that it would be difficult to get some of the larger stuff back via public transportation. I will be happy to hold onto anything you are unable to pick up and drop it off to you at my earliest convenience (within reason, of course).

Send me an email or post a comment if you'd like something. It'll be first come first served (but preference will be given to someone who can pick it up from me over me having to drive it somewhere). If this stuff isn't claimed by Friday, I'll see what I can sell on craigslist, and the rest goes to Freecycle or a charity.

I happened to run across this description of film in the Independent Film Festival Catalogue:

Blood Car
When the price of gasoline becomes too steep, mild-mannered  vegan Archie Andrews discovers a gory replacement for petrol.

How can I NOT see a movie with a description like that? I mean, as if the title alone wasn't enough. I'm going, this Saturday at midnight at the Brattle. Who's with me? Come on, "8 Films to Die 4" gang, I'm looking at you.

The other must-see film of the festival has gotta be this one:

Ping Pong Playa
C-Dub is an irresponsible, swaggering wannabe basketball player that is forced to pick up a paddle when his ping pong champion brother is injured.

Come on, people. What's not to love about this movie? You know it's good, because they talk all "gangsta-like." And it's about ping-pong.

Strawberry and chocolate crepe at Mr. Crepe for dinner followed by a FREE chocolate ice cream cone at J.P. Licks for dessert (I ended up going to the one where I live in West Roxbury since the one in Davis had a ridiculously long line). *drool* So...much...chocolate...

I had a migraine yesterday and today. If I have another one tomorrow, it'll be nobody's fault but mine. :-)

BTW, the J.P. Licks was playing "Who's on First?" in honor of opening day. It was SOOOOO awesome listening to that while waiting in line. It makes me miss the comic genius of yesteryear. Nothing will ever compare to that routine. And somehow it never gets old. :-)

Do you think the Cash Cab ever gets into accidents? I mean, the driver's not even looking where he's going. Here we are in a state that outlaws (or is about to) driving while talking on a cell phone, and yet this guy is allowed to drive in heavily congested traffic in NYC while reading questions off cue cards and often turning all the way around to look at his passengers in the backseat? Not to mention all those blinking lights and cameras. I know I'd get distracted. 

I bet he has gotten into accidents and they just don't show it on TV. I want to see it. And I want to see the passengers' reactions when it happens. Do they just get out at that point and find a regular cab? Do they automatically win? Or do they just sue The Discovery Channel?

 I couldn't decide if the title of this post should be "So NOT Lonely" or "The Best Use of the Word Alabaster in a Song Ever." So I settled for the simplest (and least creative) title I could think of.

 Who here has taken a class at The Dance Complex? Which class(es) did you take? What did you think? I'm thinking of trying one out, but I don't have any dance experience at all and am worried that since they're ongoing, it might not be easy for a beginner to just show up...but there is no beginning to any of these classes so I don't see a way around that problem. I do however pick up Step Aerobics routines pretty quickly. I'm looking at maybe Capoeira, Afro-Brazilian, African, or Hip-Hop. (Sorry to those who keep recommending it, but Contra dancing is just not my style. :-P )
