Viola was my grandmother's name. And violet is just a word I've always liked the sound of.

I was all set to start referring to Mickey Rourke as "that Oscar winner" when Sean Penn ruined my plans.

He did the same thing to Bill Murray. Damn him.

I'm still looking forward to seeing "Milk" soon though.

I officially hate the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"The Big Lebowski" and it's seemingly endless spring of expletives.

I remember seeing this in the theatre when it came out low these many years ago, and not being terribly impressed with it. I couldn't help but think that I had seen better Coen Brothers fare.

Fast forward 10 years later and now this film has a mega cult surrounding it. Just proves I can never call them. It also proves my 25 year old self knew nothing, because I now see how very brilliant it is. I rang in the New Year with a white russian (ok, more than one!) in the Dude's honor.....







I'm fairly certain John Goodman will never have a better role....ever.

Old sheet music! You can usually pick up some with fabulous cover art work for a song.
*pun intended*

John Entwistle's sideburns are most engaging.....

for getting rid of my fancy cable package, which included the Sundance Channel.

For now Costello has his own bloody talk show!!!!

I still have a massive crush on his "angry young man" phase.

Heaven knows when I'll ever find the money to procure a digital camera now. So until that time comes, I must rely on plucking images from elsewhere.

Anyway, trust me. This is what my new puter looks like....



I was torn over whether to get a laptop or desktop, but since I rarely ever travel or feel the need to be in constant contact online, I thought the desktop was the best bet. Not to mention it looks hot!!!!! I love coming home and sitting in front of it's beautifulness. My ex (who I still have feelings for, but that's a subject for a different blog) came over and uploaded Photoshop and Toast to it for me. Now I find out they make hard case shells for these things, like they do for Macbooks, only for my computer their purpose is strictly decorative.

I want the red one!!

Allow me to introduce my Photoshopped hair.

I'd never heard of the case of Patricia Douglas before I rented this documentary.





Absolutely fascinating!

"Superbad."

This is a hoot!!


Now I do disagree with Lorenzo's thoughts on "The Catcher In The Rye."

I hope I'm as open to cinema when I'm their age....

Reviewing "The Darjeeling Limited."





Reviewing "Juno."

So how is everyone?

And I was completely floored by "Control." COMPLETELY!!
