How about you?

Miami Vice... what a conundrum for me. I couldn't figure out whether I liked it or was frustrated with it. Sure the master of filming at dusk (Michael Mann) did me proud with his deliberate cinematography but the cheeseball lines just didn't deliver. It needed something with some meat. Seeing Gong Li dressed in a business suit was a sharp contrast to the Geisha accountrement I remember her from but her methodical personality was there in full force.

Michael Mann is an outstanding director, no one captures the aural euphoria of a gun shot (really... i don't like guns) like the Mann (Heat, Collateral) and regardless of people saying that they could've just watched the two shoot outs (and by god they were incredible shooting sequence) and been done with it, his movies are like classical music: deliberate and slow but worth all the fuss in the end.

By the way, Miami Vice was done in complete digital... no film. Take that Star Wars. I'm a geek, that pleases me.

I know three guys that would've loved to have done this in college... not including me... wait, including me.

So, every time I'm in a Ben & Jerry's or Marble Slab (Cold Stone) Creamery I can't help but salivate at the olfactory joy, that is freshly baked waffle cones. Now I don't know whether or not it really makes much sense to have this smell whipping thru my homestead knowing good and well that:

1. There are no freshly baked waffle cones in my apartment and,
2. I'm not likely to be eating any ice cream (gasp) as I battle to lose 10 pounds (double gasp).

But for those of you not afflicted by any of those aforementioned quandaries, then by all means... spray away.

Ever wonder what the best time to buy a plane ticket online? See the quote below I found on the internet. Hmm, maybe I should try this... one aisle seat non-stop roundtrip ticket from JKF to LAX, poste haste.

What's the absolute best time to purchase a ticket directly from the airlines? Turns out it's Wednesday from midnight to 1a.m. in the time zone of the airline's "home base." (For instance, Delta is headquartered in Utah and United currently calls Chicago home.)

Why? That's when the computer systems of most airlines get rid of the reserved but unbooked lower fare reservations. Most of us at one time or another have booked a reservation, then let it go without purchase. Snap-up these discounted fares right after this happens and you're likely to get a significant discount.

Still have a tax-return or rebate check sitting around burning a hole in your pocket? Maybe you just have 50 bones some random aunt sent you thinking it was your birthday. Well, here are a couple of sites you might want to check out. I came across these about a month ago and they're kind of fun... if you've got the cashflow. I'm guessing you all can figure out which site's for the ladies and which site's for you dapper-dan-men.

I'm still at work. My eyes are red, My fingers are tired. I'm close to being officially diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. My jaw is twitching. My stomach is grumbling... hmmm. I think I need to get myself into one of these puppies. ASAP.

"Guaranteed to make you feel sappy and glad that you're listening to it over your headphones or alone in the car"... but by god I promise you'll end up listening to it multiple times.

Isn't it weird thinking about supermodels looking up something on Google or logging into hotmail? I don't know, I just find it peculiar. Hmm, maybe they were just typing their names in to see how many search results came up... either way, everyone loves a mac. :)

Surely not. Surely no one in America would mount guns to to the top of a car, right? And surely no one would build a remote controlled turret on top of their Dodge Durango so they could remotely shoot clay pots (and or foreign rogue invaders)... right?

I was reminded today that I've kind of forgotten to post about star-sightings. I guess in the turmoil that I like to call life I kind of forgot about it.

Well, here they are:

Adam Brody - Both of us were waiting in line for a bagel and both of us were reading newspapers. He's definitely shorter than I thought.

Johnny Depp - I've never seen a crazier hell-bent mob of women running over each other for Johnny Depp. I walked out the door of our office building and the sheer mass of estrogen, sweat and heat almost put me in a coma. Lucky ex-patriate that Depp fellow.

Luke Wilson - I think the guy was in a rush because he looked UNHAPPY as he tore through the building, sidewalk. Interesting...

The Guys from Orange County Choppers - Forget the guys of the show... the chopper they had about inspired me to get a Class M license and some leather chaps.

I'm definitely jealous of Bradley's run-in with Will Ferrel at the movie theatre though. Straight-up Enotourage scene. My guess he was doing that 'day in the valley' thing stars seem to do on opening weekends.

Well you can probably tell that midweekpost looks just a scosche bit different from days of old. It's been a long time coming but it was about time this thing get an overhaul seeing that about a year and a couple of months have passed since I started doing the midweekpost, blog style.

I haven't decided but I think I'm going to make some changes to how I do this thing and what I mull over. Throw out some ideas if you've got any and if any of you are interested in posting on midweekpost, I'm game. Oh, and I'll even take down that ridiculous picture at the top and put something far less narcissistic. If not, then fine... I'll go get some Kentucky Fried Chicken. What?? Nevermind, I just had a craving.
