But, note that when you go to the opening matinée in the suburbs, it's just going to be you and four other guys (and by "guys" i mean "men") in the entire theater. Nobody's sitting close to anyone else either. But, these are the nerds (including yourself) who hoot, holler, clap, and pump fists at all the right moments. Quentin would be proud of himself (although I have no doubts he has little trouble with that).
Best. Movie. Ever.
"...a grand collage of drooling zombies, bounteous breasts, spurting blood and careering cars, a rambunctious and unapologetically disreputable entertainment as well as a comprehensive catalog of B-movie references. It's also recklessly joyous and deeply affectionate, a celebration not just of an all-but-lost approach to moviemaking but of the nearly lost experience of communal moviegoing."

2. Apple Cares: So, I had a software problem. I was working on a track for Dickie Powell and noticed a glitch in one of my applications. This application worked as expected on one machine (G4 Powerbook) and worked unexpectedly on another (MacBook Black). Same version of the app, same directory paths, same indexing, etc. Different machines. I looked for solutions and attempted to remedy the problem myself for an hour before I decided to call AppleCare.
Yeah, extended warranties. I'm totally against, right? Sucker move, right? Usually, but, I got AppleCare on my new MacBook because when I break it, it's worth the $300 to have them remedy that situation. I guess. So I called and talked to a pleasant and enthusiastic young woman. Apparently, I had a "stumper." We worked the problem for nearly an hour and thought we had it remedied. We even hung up deciding we had it solved (when it's actually not solved - I'll call back sometime, but I have workarounds).
Nice kids, patient, caring, funny, friendly. Noted I knew my Macintosh and treated me accordingly. Worth every penny. Perhaps.
3. Coffee: This is a good cup of coffee.
4. Snow: Snow on the ground this morning. Yawn.
5. Banjo: Everybody wants a healthy watershed.
