A few things that make me smile:

1) Utter Anticipation: Borat hits theaters on November 3rd!



2) Laura Linney is not only in one of my favorite movies of all time, You Can Count on Me, but she’s also a doughnut savant. Blindfolded, she demonstrated her glazed, jelly-filled skills yesterday on the Megan Mullally Show, by guessing each brand of doughnut - Hostess, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Entenmann’s - fed to her correctly, and many times without any kind of hesitation. If Homer Simpson wasn’t a fictional character and had watched the show yesterday morning, I’d like to think he would’ve responded with a, “Mmmmm…Laura Linney”

3) The end of Little Miss Sunshine. If you haven’t seen it, then, well, you just don’t know

4) Although the song “Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks” by The Rapture isn’t exactly a recent release, I have recently become quite obsessed with its deliciously raw sound that’s like salmon sashimi with a strong kick of wasabi.

5) This guy makes me cream my jeans for some reason:



He’s first challenge winner of Top Chef 2, Ilian Hall. This is not the best picture of him, but there’s something about him that I find intriguing. Maybe it’s the plugs. Maybe it’s his internal superiority that he cleverly disguises with humility, gentle facial expressions, or that he called out that self-proclaimed “mad scientist of food” (or something along those lines) with the Big Boy hairdo on how if this was a contest based on demeanor, he’d lose.

Anyone else see the similarity?


6) The fact that the giant yellow python Brooke was forced to use as a prop on ANTM last night was named Banana.

7) When Rory Gilmore played "The Perfect Crime #2" off of The Decemberists latest album The Crane Wife on last Tuesday’s (10/17/06) episode. I totally want her new tall friend’s hair-do, I wonder if my hairstylist can pull it off but I can’t find any pictures of her anywhere on the interweberverse.
