Don't Sit Through The Credits. It's Just The Dog On The Cannibal Throne...

I feel it obvious that there is something fundamentally wrong with one's life when one finds oneself sitting down to one's computer with a breakfast of fruit leather and diet cream soda at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

On the note of food, I went to Outback after seeing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest last night (notes on movie to follow), and had a near-holy experience through the consumption of my first steak in upwards of the last six months. 8 ounce, rare sirloin, served with a respectable house salad and a slightly ugly, but almost breathtaking tasty, sweet potato. There are only two ills I have to speak. One, the cups are on the small side and so I was getting refills of water just about every five minutes, which can be a little bothersome. Two, the Awesome Blossom my two 18yr-old cohorts and I split was certainly no great fire. Indeed, it was greasy and had little flavor.

Hm, speaking of my cohorts...
Pat and I discovered during dinner that not only had Aarthi never eaten a steak before (my Texan heart aches), but she didn't even have the slightest idea of how to effectively hold a knife and fork while cutting said steak. We just take these things for granted, you know? Weird. But she was a willing student and did right well in the end.

So, yes!
PIRATES!



This movie has got to be the best of the summer. You've got sword fights, romance, adventure, violence, impeccable comedy, awesome stunts, and a cliff-hanger ending that does a second film in a trilogy proud.

And anyway, you've got a hottie factor that's through the roof. I mean, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, AND *dreamy sigh* Keira Knightley. Now, Johnny Depp is a legend of hotness and Bloom is something of a newer, shinier version, but I'm afraid that Keira's gotta take the cake here. Do take a moment to admire the beauty:



Now, personally, I liked her even better dressed as a young pirate guy... But I couldn't find a good photo of that. Plus, this one is quite fantastical.

Wow... I've spent too much time on this post and real life is calling.

Have a good day, all.
