Tonight, we’re going to go see the movie “Grindhouse” - the new Tarantino/Rodriguez movie. Why not wait for the weekend (and the ability to sleep in the next day because it’s a 3+ hour movie)?
Well, due to the poor performance at the box office the opening weekend, the studio is talking about 1) splitting the movie into two separate movies and 2) getting rid of all the film scratches and stuff that made the movie look like an old grindhouse movie.
Basically, they’re going to ruin what is making it interesting.
So, if we don’t go tonight, I fear they’ll change it before we get a chance to go.

So…the Duke Lacrosse players were cleared of their rape charges. I don’t understand why people would lie about something like that. It’s sad, really. Sure they may have been spoiled rich kid athletes, but that doesn’t mean they should have their lives ruined by a false accusation. I hope they do press civil charges against that District Attorney.
However, in another shining example of why I’m going to hell in a handbasket, whenever I hear “Duke Lacrosse” on the radio, all I can think of is Adam Carolla saying how Duke Lacrosse would be a great porn name. And it would.

I need to come up with a travel playlist for the ‘ol iPod for our trip at the end of the month. I have some great road-tripping songs already:
- “Panama” - Van Halen
- “Baby Got Going” - Liz Phair
- “Sex Machine” - James Brown
- “All My Life” - Foo Fighters
- “No One Knows” and “Lost Art of Keeping a Secret” - Queens of the Stone Age
- “Rearviewmirror” - Pearl Jam (hell, any Pearl Jam song, really)
I need some more, though - give me some suggestions!

I have a ton of favorite road trip songs and hubby and I have made lots of CDs for our cross-country travels/moves. However, my very favorite driving song, that I still crank up on the rare occassion that I hear it on the radio/XM is Radar Love by Golden Earing. Yes, it’s cheesy, but it is a great song for driving 1) because it’s about driving, 2) because it’s long, and 3) it’s a great speed and tempo for long stretches of road. I have very fond memories of driving between Houston and Bolivar in the middle of the night one Spring Break listening to that song cranked in my little red Caviler.
