Did you hear about this?
Apparently, a young woman from Cuba mailed herself to the U.S. in a wooden crate.
What I want to know is, where was she shipping herself to? Did she just make up a Miami address, or was someone expecting her?
The other day as I was riding home from work I saw a group of Orthos unloading stuff from their Hummer.
I’ve got a busy busy week ahead. I leave for Black Rock City Wednesday morning. Fun fun fun.
Oh Chair, can you please, please, please, go to Amoeba next Thursday and get a signed copy of Forbidden Zone for me? I’ll be your super bestest friend in the whole wide world!
I watched Garden State twice over the weekend. I’m so crazy in love with it. You must see it!!! It’s the most precious thing I’ve seen in a long time. I’d lump it into the same category as “The Station Agent” or “Pieces of April”. It’s just so endearing.
The director, Zach Braff, has a blog about the movie with a ton of amusing entries and such. My favorite discusses the movie’s “R” rating:
Some of you have been asking about the rating. Just so you all know, your government doesn’t believe a 16 year old should hear the word “fuck” more than twice in a 2 hour period. The second you say “fuck” twice in a movie your film becomes “R”. No exceptions. Pretty crazy, huh? You can blow someone’s head off, but 2 fucks makes you unwatchable for someone under 17. Unless they have their parent there to explain it to them. “Mom, I understood the first use of the word fuck, but what’s with the second - give me guidance please. I’ve heard one fuck before, but ever since I heard the second one I’ve had this insatiable desire to rob a liquor store and refer to all women as “ho’s”.
I took the opportunity to reiterate this over the weekend when people would call and ask about the movie’s rating and if it would be suitable for young teens. It’s fun to say “fuck” to customers.
