There was a sale at Blockbuster today, so I grabbed a crap ton of dvds, including Fast and Furious, because I've arbitrarily come to like fast cars and dramatic gear shifting in my movies. So now I'm watching the first two movies on various, illegal sites etc.
Man, these movies are so full of gay subtext I kind of get a shock every time a lady appears on screen. That Paul Walker knows how to lay on the yearning blue gaze like a pro.
Although, I have to say I really liked the character of Letty in the first movie. She's kind of a badass.
And also, I love that they have rainbow racing-- a carefully chosen racer of a different ethnicity-- yellow, brown, black, and white. Though, natch, the white driver smokes 'em all.
Among my other purchases are Transporter 3 and 17 Again. Don't judge me!
eta: I keep seeing Chris Pine in the place of Paul Walker, and then I get sad every time I hear Walker's lame monotone. This movie needs to be remade with Chris Pine as Brian. Oh, please oh please oh pleeeeeeeeaaase.

Okay, so maybe like no one I know watches this show called 'White Collar', but I do or at least the pilot so far, and really really dug it, but anyways. Anyways.
Matt Bomer is gay and taken.
On behalf of all the straight girls and single gay men and all else who find hot men hot out there, I say "FUUUUUUUUUUCK."
Because this boy is goddamned beautiful, and at this point I don't care if the show runs down to crap (which it doesn't seem like it will), because I will watch it anyways for the gratuitous shots of his breathtaking physique baby blues and soft, wavy dark hair and heart-melting physique smirk and snazzy fashion sense.
My heart, it palpitates for him. Also, Mark Sheppard was in the pilot. I LOVE HIM he always seems so like, slightly evil and cranky and intelligently hot. Gnah.
Took Buddy to the groomer's this week. He had to have all his fur shaved. We try not to laugh too loudly in his presence. It makes petting him a lot less fraught with danger though, and he seems to be taking it in stride. Poor guy!
Also: I got my jury summons. I hope I don't get called in, and if I do, I hope I don't get picked, and if I do, I hope it's an interesting case at least.
My sisters have banished me from the living room so I won't jinx the Laker's game. It's ridiculously sad, and true; the last Laker's game I watched and they won, was in '96. And so I hie me and my bad luck far from televised games. Which is sad because I really love the Laker boys ;________; My sisters, they sound like they're having so much fun.

So I was digging through my stack of brochures and stuff (I generally keep all the ticket stubs and museum brochures/city maps, etc. from places I visited) and found the list of wines that we tasted for my Food and Culture class in Rome. I thought I'd list them here for easy reference:
We went to a beautiful little enoteca (wine bar) called Vino Passami l'olio ('Pass me the oil' literally) and had four wines, from lightest to richest (in other words, white to red)
1. Cantine: Enrico Serafino
Wine: white, Cortese di Monferrato, DOC, 2005, Piemonte (Langhe), 11.5%
Price: 12 euro (last year, roughly $18)
2. Cantine: Colli di Castelfranci
Wine: rose, Aglianico Rosato, DOC, 2006, Campania (Irpina), 13%
Price: 18 euro (~$27)
3. Cantine: Punta Nogal
Wine: red, Carmenere, 2005, Chile, 14%
Price: 14 euro (~$21)
4. Cantine: Terre da Vino
Wine: Passito, DOC, 2005, Piemonte, 11.5%
Price: 22 euro (~$35)
I don't remember much my impressions on these wines-- they were all good, but I liked the Monferrato. The red was supposedly v. good, but that's what the general consensus was; I myself don't like red in general v. much.
The Passito was my favorite because it's dessert wine and you eat it with cookies. It's very very very sweet, and you dip biscotti in it. Yum.

In other news, my dad taught me to drive stickshift, and I was able to drive home from where we were practicing in one piece. WOOHOO. I think I'm going to stick with my automatic for now though, LOL.
