Forgot to mention i finally saw The Name of the Rose on Tuesday. I read about half the book on a flight from Oslo to New Jersey a few years ago, and intend to finish it sometime, but had never seen the 1986 Sean Connery/Christian Slater screen version. It was very good, doing justice to the philosophical developments voiced in the novel by Umberto Eco, but now i can't get images of freaky deformed Benedictine monks out of my head.

Having a cell phone that can take digital pictures is turning out to be handier than i had imagined. On the way home from the free Caesars show last night (quick review ... openers Baby Strange caused me actual physical pain, the Caesars were wacky Swedes with a penchant for Farfisa organ, not bad), we stopped for boba tea and i saw a banner announcing a contest related to a U.S. theatrical release of Shaolin Soccer. Roo turned us on to this flick months ago, and we bought the regionless Hong Kong DVD. It's a hilarious comedy about a monk who turns to soccer as a means to educate the world on the benefits of Shaolin. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon meets The Bad News Bears meets Legend of Drunken Master. Apparently it's being released domestically in August, very cool!

Then on our way home, i noticed a car with a Trogdor bumper sticker. I must admit that two months ago i would've had no idea what the hell this was referring to, but thanks to Rob and Bill i am now conversant with Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, et al. "Draw an S, next draw a more different S ... use consummate V's ... burninating the countryside!"
