Last night I had to take cough syrup and was reminded of the last time I took cough syrup.

Every now and again I have conversations with people who have refined taste in movies and I like to try to turn them on to some of my favorites which include Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas and Lady and the Tramp and other stuff that is very independent and artful and which you need an advanced cinema degree to understand. I mean, don’t get me wrong, you can just watch the movies and appreciate the mood and probably some of the more easily understood plot elements but to fully grasp the enormity of the work you’re going to need a few diplomas.

So I was talking up Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas and then I went to look for the DVD and lo and behold I can find the case but not the DVD itself. Same thing with Lady and the Tramp. Have I been ripped off by a six year old? What the hell?

And then I was sitting here thinking about other movies I should be embarrassed to admit I like (but I’m NOT) and these include Touched By Love and Sooner or Later. I like crap. Go ahead and judge.

Speaking of crap, Bald Bryan has a playlist on his ipod called “Tool Tunes” which is all the songs he’s embarrassed to own and it’s pretty aptly named. I’m surprised there weren’t any Hilary Duff songs on there. (I’m not sure there weren’t.) Anyway, that only tangentially relates.

Stay tuned for a gigantic blog post featuring pictures and detailing my adventures yesterday in San Diego.

Okay then.
