people should know when they're conquered

Would you, Quintus? Would I?

/Gladiator

So, as far as I can tell, Robin Hood is going to be Gladiator a millenium later. No? Yes? Anyone got the inside scoop? Anyway. The untold story? I thought that story'd been beaten to death explored. But I will still probably go see it. Mostly b/c the guy who plays Prince John intrigues me.



Guys. Green Day's cover of Rip This Joint for Rolling Stones week on Jimmy Fallon? Rockin'.

The National's High Violet gets two thumbs up.

Not so impressed with Sea of Cowards. Dear Jack White, Pls go back to The White Stripes or The Raconteurs. This Dead Weather noise grates on my ears. Love, Me

Anyone listened to the new Sing It Loud? Worth checking out?


OH. Also on the music front. I thought, for some reason, that Fuel were done. But they are touring. They are playing Scout Bar tomorrow night. With Brett, the original lead singer. When did that reunion happen? (LOL, Scout Bar. Tiny, skeezy joint way the hell out by NASA Blvd. Sadly, I'm actually considering making that trip.)


ETA: 1. I'm trying to decide whether I should read Sebastian Junger's new book, War. Opinions?

2. In looking for something to eat that does not involve actual cooking at this point in the evening, I unearthed an unopened 1.5 lb bag of black licorice jelly beans. Mmmmm. *tosses a couple of them back*
