hooray for mates of state! this was my 4th or 5th time seeing them and they always put on a fun show--they are awesome at busting out the old hits. they didn't play anything off their first album (to keith's and my disappointment) but i'm not sure the leggings-clad, pompadoured kids in the audience would have recognized those anyway.
openers were ben davis (we missed most of that set, such a shame) and maria taylor from azure ray (totally boring--kate a. and i said lots of hilariously bitchy things during the performance, but i am not ready to be quite such a bitch in this public forum).
on an unrelated note: out of curiosity, are there any movies that you awlays get sucked into and have to watch when you encounter them on cable? for me, these movies are the princess bride and the sandlot, both have which have been on tv a fair amount lately. (i always cry at the end of the sandlot, don't ask me why.)
also, why did they make a sequel to the sandlot? i saw one scene of this cinematic masterpiece and it was almost line-for-line a scene from the original. good job, abc family. your sequels suck!! (don't even get me started on "the cutting edge 2".)
also, why does adult swim change their schedule every three weeks? i liked being able to watch venture brothers at 11 pm instead of falling asleep before it airs at 12:30. venture brothers is totally the best cartoon they have, so they should keep it in the cushy early slots.

Romancing the Stone and Total Recall are afternoon killers for me. And Romancing the Stone is almost always playing on one of the channels. No wonder I never get anything done.
Joan Wilder? THE Joan Wilder?! Come in! I have all your books! I read them to all the boys.
(MIke)
hahahahah!!!!
shameful confession time: i actually owned the BOOK based on romancing the stone . . . and read it multiple times.
HA!! Please, please tell me that it was written by Joan Wilder, and featured a total cheese cover!
There is no shame in that. If you were a guy who admitted to seeing "Beauty and the Beast" in the theatre five times when you were 17, maybe. Enjoying a book based on a great movie, RARE maybe, but not shameful.
well, it's been a few years (maybe ten) since i've seen it--it definitely had a romance-looking cover, complete with hazily drawn renditions of kathleen turner and michael douglas. and i do believe it claimed to be written by joan wilder . . . i remember looking for the real author's name inside at one point.
I'm with you on the adult swim lineup changes.
for some reason, I think they think it makes them cool. there are always bumpers about it.
(the bumpers annoy me)
heh, your comment just reminded me of the bump-thingies.
they annoy me too, especially when they're annoucning yet another schedule change.
ah, say anything is such a classic.
rosemary's baby is one i actually will turn off whenever i come across it--my best friend in high school and i used to always watch cheesy horror movies, and one day her dad told us we should watch the classic horror movies, so we rented rosemary's baby, which was totally intensefor the most part, but then we thought had a really dumb ending. (we also rented the exorcist, which was so boring i actually fell asleep for most of it.)
