salivating

This restaurant is on the verge of opening just 2 blocks from my house.

A new restaurant? With specialty cocktails and dishes prepared with local, seasonal food? And Laura Wilson is involved? And it's all walkable from my house?

How many different ways can I say, "Yes, please!"?

I'm so excited.

If this video doesn't make you smile at least a little bit, then, dude, I'm really sorry that you're dead.

I'm always really bad at putting together "Top 10" lists of favorite books, movies, television shows, etc., because there are just so many possibilities, and I am terrible about limiting myself. As soon as I come up with ten, I am sure to think of an eleventh that deserves a top slot for one reason or another. Let's just call me indecisive.

But, I have to say--every time I catch "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" on cable, I am reminded of how much I really enjoy this movie. The characters are colorful, the dialogue is clever, and the journey is amusing. It kind of makes me want to stock up on Dapper Dan for no good reason and R-U-N-N-O-F-T to Tishomingo.

Say what you will about the Coen brothers--they have their hits and misses--but this movie could be a solid eleventh, or better, in my book.
