Catching it early this week

the friday five

EXTENDED BODY:

  1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?
    Novels — I’m a book freak!
  2. What is your favorite novel?
    I have too many list… Tons of Stephen King, Tom Robbins, all the LOTR books, Harry Potter…
  3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
    Nope.
  4. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
    Dante’s Inferno. I started, but I just can’t finish.
  5. What are you currently reading?
    Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, by Tom Robbins. It’s pretty entertaining. I think the whole novel takes place over the course of three days and follows the personal life (and adventures) of Gwen, a Seattle stock broker, over Easter weekend after the biggest stock market crash ever.

Beer!

note from the future: umm, really? BLUE MOON? I guess it could be worse, I could have said Bud Lite.

Blue Moon Belgian White Ale is now my favorite beer. I think every bar should have it on tap and I am sadly disappointed that not many do.

the recruit

I went to see The Recruit, starring Colin Farrell tonight. I highly recommend this movie. The storyline was engaging, the ending was a surprise, there’s a nice twist. I don’t want to ruin it, so I won’t say anymore. Just go see it.

Oh yeah, Al Pacino and Bridget Moynahan were also very good in the movie. However, Ms. Moynahan could have worked a little harder to convince me that she’s really CIA. I still picture her dancing on the bar (and brawling with the customers) in Coyote Ugly, as well as getting dumped by John Cusack in Serendipity.
