I realized I never put up my "Ali" review. Actually, I had it written and ready to post, but the Evil that consumed Blogger for a few days caused it to be lost in the nether-regions of Cyberspace. Now, I find that I'm not all that enthusiastic about re-writing it, except to say it's really good but not the masterpiece some of us were hoping for.

I did see "The Royal Tenenbaums" yesterday and it was Hilarious (yes, you saw that right, it's actually 'hilarious' with a capitol 'H'!!) I don't think it's playing at very many theaters, but convienently for us, one of those theaters is The Neptune right down the street. Funny, funny stuff.

When I was a kid I always prefered the week between X-mas and New Years over the big build-up before X-mas, simply because I could just hang out and play with my new toys, then get that rare opportunity to stay up until midnight on New Years Eve. Well, I'm revisiting that again this year, with all the fun I've been having with my new toy, Elfie the digital camera (or Kammy, haven't decided on a name yet), and it all culminates with the what I consider the one night of the year, over all the other "heavy drinking holidays (St. Patricks Day, et al.) that it literally doesn't matter how much of a lush you are, because everyone else is gettin' drunk too!
