Going to see the special THIS IS SPINAL TAP showing today.

I can make it work if I combine it with shoe shopping. They’re bringing out the first SPINAL TAP this weekend in preparation for the sequel coming out later this month, and obviously I have to go. It’s all part of The Deal. They pretend to be a band, and we pretend to be their fans.

It is the Glorious Fourth.

Have a beer (wine, soda, water, lemonade, scotch, milk, other liquids to taste). Grill (reheat, broil, fry, steam, eat cold, other food preparation methods to taste) some meat (fish, vegetables, breads, cheeses, salad, other foodstuffs to taste). Enjoy (no alternate menu choices will be offered at this time) being an American.

Happy Fourth.

Movie of the Week: Independence Day.

Independence Day (20th Anniversary)

Independence Day! My absolute favorite collage-style film. The epitome of popcorn movies. I have watched this many, many times — and I am comfortably aware that I have plenty of beer in the fridge tomorrow for watching it again. I just need some meats, cheeses, and maybe a pickle or two.

…We do not speak of the sequel.
