The Fresh Loaf: Wintery Tidbits

Monday, November 24th, 2008

  • We spotted this slim, bundled fellow and immediately took several covert subway photos, then realized he probably couldn’t see us anyway. GF/Meatloafing artiste Karolina notes the resemblance to Kenny.
  • Winter movie recommendation: Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In). This is a “serious” (not cheesy) vampire movie that we really enjoyed. It’s got kids, kid vampires, dreary blue-inflected vistas, and an amazing cat scene that’s not worth spoiling here. See if you can spot the vintage plastic Smurf collection. It’s only onscreen for a few seconds, but we appreciated the attention to detail. With Swedish subtitles. Currently playing at Angelika Film Center.
  • For the record: Dumont Burger, you’re no longer our friend. I’m not paying $13 plus an extra dollar for cheese just to sit on a backless stool next to a drafty front door. Perhaps if your burger quality was more consistent, we’d reconsider. FU.
  • Meatloafers: what are you bringing to the table this year? Still not sure? We dug up these holidayesque recipes from our archives: Susan’s Cornbread, Festive All-Seasons Punch.
  • Winter fashion report: H&M offers its worst collection in years. (Continue reading for a photo)

TGIMFF

Friday, February 29th, 2008

The weekend is here! Sorry about our meager imacsposting lately, but we’re still reeling from the New Year’s Eve theft incident. I’m waiting to buy a new computer until the iMacs get a little bump. Macrumors.com just told me that “new Penryn based iMacs would be seen next Tuesday, continuing Apple’s pattern of weekly announcements since Macworld.” Fuck you, thieves! Seriously, you are scum and I hate you.

Happy Twin Peaks Definitive Gold Box Edition Day!

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

tp box“Diane, a strange dream to report: I dreamt I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop. I awoke to realize I was aggressively munching on one of my Air-Pillow Silicone Ear Plugs. Hence the tastelessness. I suspect some unexpressed feeling of aggression is responsible.”

BOBMy Favorite Dale Cooper quote (Season 2, Episode something). Twin Peaks: The Definitive Gold Box Edition (The Complete Series) arrives in stores today! Pilot, Seasons 1 & 2, tons of extras. Wheee! I pre-ordered mine from Amazon, but it’s not shipping until November 5th. wtf. Anyhoo. These DVDs will be my bff this winter.
