Last few days have been a bit oversubscribed with things that weren't quite as good as I'd hoped. First off, tonight's episode of Survivor which was completely sux0r. The annoying people keep winning. The promised demise of the most annoying-est contestant was just a double-blind fakeout. One of my fave contestants got sent home. And last week's tease, of a tribal council like nothing you've ever seen was, basically, a total lie. Also, I took a chance on this beer from Saranac, their Caramel Porter. It's not actively bad, but it does at times while I'm drinking it, start to taste a lot like a porter that's had caramel syrup poured into it. Caramel latte? OK. Caramel beer? Maybe not so much. Also also, last night we watched Pom Poko, which was the last movie we DVRed during TCM's Miyazaki feature back in January. It was only executive produced by Miyazaki but we were still expecting good things. While it definitely had its moments (easily the best use of flying racoon testicle fu I've ever seen), it was overall all a hellafied downer. Which I'd have expected if I'd realized (or if John Lasseter and Ben "Nepotism Works" Mankiewicz had mentioned it during their intro segment) that it was directed by Isao Takahata, who also directed Grave of the Fireflies.
blah blah blah
guess i shouldn't have taken that second cranky pill today...
