    "All I see is pork swords"

    That fabulous line is from the Indie movie getting all the attention this season--Juno. Now, normally I leave the movie stuff to Victor but I just had to put this good word in. This movie...it's indescribably good. I feel that this is better than last season's favorite child-"Little Miss Sunshine". In case you haven't heard about it (do you like the rock you are living under?) It's about a 16 year old girl, Juno (*not* after the city in Alaska), in a small town in Minnesota who gets pregnant by her best friend and decides to give the child up for adoption. Everyone's talking about the title character played by Ellen Page but I'm liking the character of Paulie Bleeker, played by Michael Cera from "Superbad"....he's her best friend/boyfriend and has the sadness of a lost puppy dog. You can understand why Juno would want to have sex with him. You can feel the "want" just rolling off of him....like when she tells him that he's cool without even trying to be and he tells her "Actually, I try really hard." Anyway, she wants to give the baby to a couple whose ad she find in the Pennysaver (!), played by Jennifer Gardner and Jason Batemen. The soundtrack is full of great songs mostly by artists I've never heard of, although there is some stuff by The Kinks and Sonic Youth (although to get the songs by those groups, ITunes requires that you buy the whole album). Yes, I would call it a total chick flick-it's funny and cerebral and cute and weepy at the end... but it's so worth the buzz it's getting ... what are you waiting for?! Go see it!!

    On a sad note, Hollywood's unofficial mayor has gone to the big movie screening in the sky. Johnny Grant (he's the old guy you see announcing the stars on the Walk of Fame) passed away. He was the Chairman of the Board of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and it's biggest supporter. Now, who will introduce those undeserving, untalented wanna-be-celebrities?

    Speaking of untalented celebrities, Pam Anderson has filed, once again, for a divorce from current husband and Paris-ex, Rick Solomon. And that isn't even the most interesting part of this...saga. She's pregnant! O...M...G! Has she learned nothing from the Britney saga? Blah!
    Oh...and rumor has it that Xtina's gonna do the celebrity pre-scheduled c-section this weekend. Oh, the joy (can you feel the sarcasm? I knew ya could)

    Okay, dear readers, you have a wonderful day...*yes* I'm still thinking/working on getting a story ready but unless it involves the Orcs of WoW or the wonderful clothes found in Second Life, I don't see it happening this week..lol...

    I am outtie like a bellybutton, my friends!

    I'll check Juno out sometime but not before The Orphanage. I'm done with Heroes Disc 1 when the cheerleader is having an autopsy done on her when she suddenly wakes up (LOL, that's really messes up, isn't it?)

    Rules of calling Customer Service!

    • 1. Before you call any 800 number--Please put your children, animals & significant others in a closet and lock the door til you're done. We really don't appreciate hearing your children screaming in our ears. We don't, in any way, find their antics nearly as priceless as you do.
    • 2. Read your bill before you start bitching and whining about it. Read the front and back of all pages. Read it every single month. No company ever just puts charges on your bill just for thrills or to see how long it will take you to notice. All price increases need to be okayed by the FCC or PUC before they take effect and you are given at least 30 days notice.
    • 3. It doesn't matter how long you've gone to school or whether you are a doctor,lawyer or Indian chief, I still know more about your service than you do. I know more about the technology than you do and I've got all day to listen to you as you lose your braincells. (And just so you know, whenver it gets very quiet, you are on mute as we *laaaaauuugghh*, tell our neighbors how stupid you are and wait for you to just....shut up)
    • 4. Just about anything a "supervisor" can do, we can do...we just don't want to give it to you. Why should we? Sometimes it just feels better to piss you off.
    • 5. Anyone over 60 must take a test before they are allowed to get any sort of electronics. If you can't operate it, you can't have it.
    • 6. Please stop asking us how we are ..we really don't care how you are and you make us politely ask you after you ask us. Just start talking and whining about the problem so that we don't have to "mute" you (see previous posts about what happens when you are muted)
    • 7. Do *not* eat or chew gum while talking to us. I can understand if you were catching up on lunch while on hold and I'm willing to give a little leeway but you better apologize for it and stop. Do you know how many times I've wanted to tell people that I can't understand them with their mouth full? And to ask them if their mother ever told them that it was just plain rude! I don't chew gum while I'm talking to you...do you consider yourself better than me? You think you are better than *me*?
