1. Dirty Pretty Things: I saw this one sometime last summer. At the time, I thought it was pretty good, nothing all that special. On the second (and third), times around, this movie really starts to fully reveal itself as an incredible multi-layered work of art. The story is based around a human organ trading ring, that is owned an operated in London's The Baltic Hotel. The movie slowly unfolds two characters lives and how organ trading is seen as an entrance in to the Western world by the means of acquiring a passport. This one is truly interesting (no matter if its false) and, with fantastic acting, very entertaining to watch.
2. A fresh tuna sandwich with provolone, lettuce and tomato: The tuna was unbelievably fresh, cooked just the right amount, so it was a nice soft pink in the center. The cheese was melted over top. This sandwich was so fucking delicious. Like a tuna melt, but a thousand times better.
3. Hunter S. Thompson: This writer is so fun to read. Most of his early stuff is not only entertaining but actually has the stuff good, well-informed journalism should have. I don't think I've ever been able to start one of Thompson's articles and have an idea of where he was going to take it.
4. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Greatest Palace Music: So what's wrong with this? Pitchforkmedia.com, the indie superstore gave this one a bad rating for really no reason at all. What's bad about it? Bascially, Will Oldham has taken his back catalogue (that was under the name of Palace Music) and has recorded some fans' favorite songs in a very Nashville way. The songs are well planned and more orchestrated, only ocassionally sounding too slick. For the most part, the disc is very solid and any emotional impact is not lost in the rerecorded versions.
5. Sleep: I need some, and I haven't been getting it well lately. So everytime I do, its fantastic.
