There’s a Seinfeld episode where George dates a woman, who’s in prison, and he considers this the perfect relationship. Not only does he always know where she is, but the biggest advantage is that she’ll never be able to drop by on a whim. Apparently, the drop-in is something to be feared, but not by me. I love the drop-in! That’s the coolest thing about living downtown. Like today a friend of mine stopped by just to hang and we decide to go out for ice cream. I guess he’s a big ice cream guy, because this is the third time I’ve gone for ice cream with him and I never eat ice cream, when I’m by myself. Unless I have a hangover and then I only eat sundaes from McDonald’s. Unfortunately, the Italian place down the street was closed, so we went to this place, which apparently was highly recommended. But we’re never going back there again, because the strawberry flavour was so blah it wasn’t even funny. It turns out that their schtick is that they’ve got some low-fat scam going, which will sucks the flavour out of anything. We didn’t notice the sign with the fancy no fat, no flavour slogan (or whatever it said), so it wasn’t until we left the place with huge cones we realized they were crap.

There’s a horrible Ben Affleck movie on TV right now. It really sucks and Ben has the worst hair (no, it’s not 200 Cigarettes), Matt Damon is in it (it isn’t Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back), the music is horrendous (nope, not Armageddon), and the story is beyond lame (and it ain’t Forces of Nature). Nope, this is a waste of celluloid called Glory Daze about a group of guys graduating college. The movie is packed with people, who either were famous from or later became famous on TV (and there’s a couple of movie stars in there as well), but the number of recognizable faces doesn’t prevent it from sucking like a Hoover. The worst part is when Affleck (who is, get this, a misunderstood artist) does his pensive voiceover where he quotes Salinger and Camus, which sounds about as believable as hearing Jerry Falwell talk about a woman’s right to choose.

So I finally changed to the channel, so I could watch The West Wing, which means I won’t see the ending, but if you’ve seen Glory Daze and it has some brilliant and surprising ending please let me know.
