Lars and the Real Girl

At 7-11 today, getting the "novel writing" requisite Big Gulp, I saw this:

Okay, so I don't have any use for GQ magazine, but I swear I almost bought it. Ryan Gosling is suddenly everywhere, and can I just say that he is the sexiest man out there right now? He's giving George Clooney a run for his money as "hottest, most brooding actor according to Maigen."
This leads me to my point, albeit in a twisty, turny way: I am dying to see "Lars and the Real Girl." I think it looks so fabulous. I am sure it is warm, tender, and melancholy. No one wants to see it with me. Even my friend who loves every movie seemed really lukewarm about the idea. I think one of these vacation days, I will have to go to a matinée by myself. Doesn't bother me. I'll have Ryan to keep me warm.

Pet peeves

The expression "kick (my, your, his, her) trash." You've probably NEVER heard that if you aren't mo. It's akin to "kick (my, your, his, her) butt."
Songs that tell a story (esp. ones that start and end with the same sentence, usually of the country genre)
the phrase "as per usual"
that Nicholas Cage Still has a career, should have ended after "Raising Arizona"
the question "what can I do you for?"
the glare of the sun off cars in mid-day
tights with open-toed shoes
cell phones in public
mis-uses of the words 'there,' 'their,' 'they're' (and similar grammatical errors)
counting new $1 bills
