New Years 09

I guess here's the thing about New Years -- you should never make plans, because they're never going to go as you planned... So maybe you should make plans, you should plan the opposite of what your real plans are, and then your real plans might happen. ANYWAY, here's one part of a good story -- I did end up kissing a girl last night. It wasn't at midnight, and it wasn't someone I knew. She walked by, and I just grabbed her and leaned in and kissed her. After I kissed her, she hit me and yelled, "I'm engaged!" I didn't really know what to say to that, so I just did a double fist pump and yelled "2009!" 2009, indeed.

The Many Faces of Nicholas Cage

So I'm fascinated by vampires... and I rent vampire movies to watch them. So I rented "Vampire's Kiss" with Nicholas Cage. SUCH A FANTASTIC MOVIE!!! Here's the Netflix synopsis (also, stay tuned for the pictures... trust me, those are the absolute best part):

Peter Loew (Nicholas Cage, in an all-encompassing performance) is a sleazy literary agent who prowls the bars looking for action.


One night he hooks up with Rachel (Jennifer Beals [ed - who didn't shave her armpits for this part, it's the little things like this that add to the overall texture of the movie and just make it a real contender for best picture]), who, in the course of their evening together, bites him on the neck.


The next morning, when Peter is feeling out of sorts, he decides that a vampire bit him. The next step: Buy a real set of fangs, of course... even though most people don't believe he's a vampire.






No, seriously. I like to imagine this guy just looking at Nicholas Cage and his FANTASTIC acting and saying something like, "Hi Nick, uhhhh, yeah... Good to uh see you too. Oh yeah, this? Yeah, someone's sitting here. She uh, she uh--is in the bathroom right now."


"Did I mention my first name is Yves? Isn't that a great first name?"
