Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t I?

There is a fine reason for not watching “The English Patient” again, and that’s because every time I see that fucking movie, I sob uncontrollably. She asks him to paint her with the saffron in the thimble. I want all this marked on my body. Where the real countries are. Not boundaries drawn on maps [...]

Man. If I was married to Brad Pitt, and he dumped me for the most gorgeous woman on the earth, I probably wouldn’t be surprised, but I’d still feel like the absolute shits. Although. I always thought Jennifer Aniston was a competent actress; I watched “Rock Star” a couple of years back and was pretty [...]
