My mother, approx 2 seconds ago, telling me what to do for NYE (with minimal response from me):


“Did you know there is fireworks at the Embarcadero? That’s supposed to be crazy. Do you know The Mighty? It is in Portrero Hill? There is a party there. Is that where you’re going? The End Up? Are you going there? It is a club. There is a party from 10  - 2 AM. They have 20 DJs one after another. I don’t know if it is the Mighty or maybe The End Up, but there is a lounge thing and even a Playboy section. It sounds crazy. You should check these parties out. What? Why you laughing? There is another one on Columbus and whatever. You can see all of this on public radio. Why you laughing when I tell you this? Where you guys going to party? You’re not going to go to these any of these parties? End Up. That’s the name of this place. End Up. I just think that’s pretty crazy. How you supposed to dance for 6 hours? What are you doing?”

- My mother.

I just want to be clear, since it appears that the Lonely Island is reading my blog or something: I will not let you wear your chain and your turtleneck sweater.

Not even for thirty seconds.

Saw this movie tonight with a few friends. I thought it would be good — I didn’t know it would be perfect. Literally, this might be the most perfect movie I’ve ever seen. The comedy was on point - the perfect combination of random, plot-driven, vulgar, and farcical. There was actually a real plot, with suspense, turns of fate, and hero moments. And beyond objective perfection, it was subjectively perfect: I love the movie Clue, and figured from reading the Brattle’s description that this would be a combination of Clue and Encyclopedia Brown. It was. And some.

If you want a perfect comedy that doesn’t miss a beat, see Mystery Team at the Brattle - playing tomorrow only, Thursday the 4th, at 5, 7:30, and 10.

Things My Family Has Said, Thanksgiving Break edition

kambr:

“She’s going to fall in love with the male model. That’s very tacky.” -My dad, ruining the end of “Sisterhood of Traveling Pants 2” (shortly followed with, “Don’t fall in love with a male model. Oh, that girl’s going to fall in love with that Korean guy.”)

“Why is he there? He got a pizza. He should be at home eating the pizza.” -My mom, on Michael’s surprise appearance at the end of “The Princess Diaries”

Playing Scattergories:
Things to do on a date, letter R
Dad: “Rook”!
Me: What’s “rook”?
Dad: “Rook”! Rook out the window!

Things with balls, letter P (this actually happened):
Elsa: “Penis”.
Me: I already put “penis”!
Elsa: I know. I’m not going to take your answer.
Dad: I put “penis”.

Things to do with leftover turkey, letter N
Mom: “Stew”!

Facts. All of these events actually factually happened.

From the back cover:
Presidential candidate John McCain has long sought a running mate to call his own. His campaign kept quiet as they silently searched, even though McCain pleaded and begged them to tell him who his VP would be. Then one night, McCain puts an ad in the paper, asking for a vice-president, and he receives a letter from one Sarah Louise Heath Palin, of Alaska. Papa McCain and his campaign write back. His campaign manager asks if she sings.
The campaign members fear that she will not stay, and when she goes off to town alone, young campaign manager—whose VP died during a snowmobiling accident—is stricken with the fear that she has gone for good. But she returns with colored pencils to illustrate for them the beauty of Alaska, and to explain that, though she misses her home, “the truth of it is I would miss you more.” The tale gently explores themes of political abandonment, political loss and political love.
“An exquisite, sometimes painfully touching political tale; particularly when we learn how Sarah loathes polar bears because they mauled her mother.”
-The New York Times
“A book that is filled with wisdom, gentle humor and the practical concerns necessary for a satisfying run for president. Terse writing and poetic rhythm flow to create a tender story about the fragile beginnings of a presidential team in its quest for 8 more years of Republican governance.”
