It's Late And I'm Stupid

Hehe. Not the biggest Bastardi fan in the world. Personally, I've got a little Captain in me...

Actually I can't even remember seeing rum and coke in the same glass in a few years, let alone remember the last time I had one. One might think a guy whose blog is a pun on said drink would feel a civic duty to drink it every once and again. But no, I had to be a (blank)-and-tonic man. If they made rum-and-Pepsi, I'd have one on occasion. Or a rum-and-tonic. I'm a tonicoholic.

Speaking of tonic, club soda is for wimps. Yeah, I said that. Go drop your lemon wedge in a club soda. Tonic, bitches

Movie Of The Month

I just watched The Transporter, which I enjoyed for the most part. It was a really well-done crappy movie. Jason Statham has carved out a nice little niche of cool-guy roles. And it was nice to see them take a pretty standard premise (ass-kicking antihero with a heart of gold saves the day) and inject some martial arts to keep things interesting. It was neat to see a typical Caucasian actor acquit himself so well in a traditional kung fu fight sequence. But at the end of the day, it wasn't really good enough to care either way about it. Having seen this, I'm only mildly interested in Transporter 2. I may see it, but it's not too high on the list.

Two Tidbits

Yay, Stereogum!

First, Jason Lee names his kid after a Grandaddy song.  What a waste.  If he wanted to name his kid after a song, I'd have voted for Sir Nose D'voidoffunk Lee.  Or he could've gone the play-on-words route and called him Act Natural Lee, or Killian Mesoft Lee.  You could stretch into Bohemian Rhapsod Lee, or  Suffragette Cit Lee for a girl.  Anyway, needless to say, Brodie messed up.

Next, Franz Ferdinand's new video, which I can't watch until later b/c I'm at work.  Basically, I'm posting this link so that I know how to find it when I get home.
