Monty's Creaky Review of Things
Thanks, dear readers, if you are still there, for bearing with me. Yes indeed, it has been a while. I find myself more or less unable to blog from home, given the technomological setup there, which means that if I have a slackoffish end of the week, my blob goes unbliggied for a while. I must be more disciplined in my discipline. Listen in.
Lost in Translation is beautiful. As are Scarlett Johanssen, and Bill Murray.
Oregon pinot noir is overrated.
The third season of Mr. Show is not as funny as the first two.
The bakery on the corner near Veneiro's, the one which I drunkenly thought was Veneiro's as I stumbled by on Saturday night, makes damn fine tarts. I imagine they get much of their business from drunks who think they're going into Veneiro's, which is not so hard to do because of some misleadingly placed signage, but the bakers have by no means dumbed down their tarts for the drunkenly-stumbling-by-and-mistaking-the-place-for Veneiro's set.
Sleepy's has truly excellent customer service, and, equally important, comfortable beds. I really felt like I would have been allowed to take a nap in there, which is how it should be in a mattress store. It seems like it would be more accurate to say "bed-store," since they sell box-springs and frames as well as mattresses, but nobody seems to say it, perhaps because it sounds like "bedsore."
There are a lot of gourmet mattress brands that start with "S." Serta. Sealy. Simmons. Do people find these brands when they look for "sleep" in the phone book? I wanna know! And what's up with these "pillows," I mean... did God just say, after he made all these cool animals that can sleep anywhere on the dirt or on rocks, did he say to his wife "I know... I think I'll make a creature that can only rest with a held-together clump of feathers under his head, that should be good for a laugh." I mean, come on, Big Guy: If you had to make us such pussies, couldn't you have put some big squishy lump on the back of our heads so that I wouldn't have to buy a new pillow every week? What's up with that?
Nas is the best "rap artist" working today.
Everybody Loves Raymond is a popular television show.
Broccoli rabe is mad overrated. Too bitter.
Anchovies are good.
Sun-dried tomatoes, now that they are no longer trendy, can be quietly enjoyed for their delightful flavor.
Nobu is a good restaurant.
Most finance professionals are boring morons.
I love you.
