Reader writers' favorite drinks and where they drink them
Maybe you prefer opiate abusers, then: "And all should cry, Beware! Beware! His flashing eyes, his floating hair! Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honeydew hath fed, And drunk the soy White Russian of Paradise."— May 3, 2009 3:24 p.m.

Ahhhg! You go anti-geekess! English Patient was schlocky-schlockenstein. Badly badly edited, teetering on its whorish stilts. "Hrmmmhh hmmmhhh. I like taters." Josh, I don't think you realize what went into A Mighty Wind. How often do you see a film that comprehensive of its subject, that sustains the parody in a way that is so believable? Looking forward to hearing about your interview with Willard, though. So....Josh: Bruce Dern movies, then?— May 3, 2009 12:31 p.m.

antigeekess: Do you really think Stanley and Stella are a great romantic couple? My nickname is Blanche, so I'll have to say "no." Alright, I'm going with Mitch and Mickey from "A Mighty Wind." The kiss that shook the world to its knees. Heh heh. Btw, thanks for making my weekend grading session more fun. I will try to spew out more romantic schlock later ;)— May 2, 2009 3:44 p.m.

Good for you, gettin' all that work done! As you and lallaw found out not long ago, "we've all got issues." :)— May 2, 2009 1:36 p.m.

I agree, make another quick! We need to see something that makes serious use of Eugene Levy's eyebrows. antigeekess, you're killing me. I either hated or couldn't find anything romantically inspiring in any of your #53 selections. Maybe Ladyhawke. Still schlock. Don't know Stella to Isabeau. Ok, ok: Sleepless in Serendipity.— May 2, 2009 1:12 p.m.

Do you really have an appointment with a psychoanalyst, or is it a psychotherapist? I ask because with a psychoanalyst, you do not expect to feel better. It is an intellectual challenge to learn to "read" your thought traces and find recurrent narratives in them. Good old psychotherapists, counselors, and psychiatrists are the people most of us see, for talk, life solutions, and drugs to help with brain chemistry.— May 2, 2009 12:55 p.m.

Oops. That was "Notes on a Scandal." It IS a tough one for me--I can't think of any!— May 2, 2009 12:52 a.m.

SD's two cents: Before looking at your links, magics, Freud right up to current psychoanalysis would suggest that the number 1 has some kind of unexplored meaning for you. It could be related to an event corresponding to clock times you've mentioned--1:11 and/or 11:11, or it could be unrelated to time, and the clock just serves as a reminder. Many people have this thing where different odors, colors, scenes, etc. evoke sudden, persistent, long ago memories. Each time you notice this kind of synchronistic correspondence, it trains your mind to look for it again and again, and build up more and more significance--like working any muscle. You'll have to forgive me for not checking out Uri "Spoon Bender" Geller. One of my 111 :) cousins believes in this stuff; apparently they use it in corporate "you can do it with teamwork!" seminars. Don't fall for that stuff! It is way more interesting to figure out what these things mean to you.— May 2, 2009 12:38 a.m.

Ok magics, spill it! What IS the meaning of 1:11?!!— May 1, 2009 11:18 p.m.
