COUSIN LOVIN'
Tonight, we're going to see my friends the Cousin Lovers play at a club called The Mint. The boys have been playing there recently and I haven't had the time to go to any of their shows so I'm looking forward to it. There's no reason anyone would have heard of this band being a local favorite for the past few years. However, they got a shot of national notoriety recently after playing Sandra Bullock's wedding. The tabloids, they do go into details, and it was surreal to read my friends' band's name in all of them. Tim, the lead singer and mandolin player, surprised me in an email by addressing Sandra Bullock as "Sandy".
Weird.
I'll have to ask him about it if he's not sick of talking about it.
Saw a movie called Pretty Persuasion last night. It's like Mean Girls and Election smashed together, punched in the face, eaten out, then placed in a Beverly Hills private school. It's hilarious, sexy, scary, sad, fucked up, and sad (in that order). And it was very entertaining. The filmmakers cram a ton of ideas into this movie and it's almost too much but the writing is sharp and very funny (and, better yet, very politically incorrect) and carries the movie through its rough bits.
I assume that it got an X rating and was released unrated instead. I can see that, although there wasn't much in this movie that wasn't in, say, American Pie. Anyway....if this manages to get a wider release, go see it. It's a good time.
