Wait, you mean "Warrriiiiors, come out to plaaaiiiaaaay!" Warriors movie? Oh my golly. :svengo:

 

Mind. Officially. Blown.

Yep, it's as if some desperate classics major finally figured out a way to get his screenplay sold: "Okay, cross out 'Greek mercenaries' and replace with 'New York street gang.' Then...."

Finished David Sedaris' Holiday on Ice.... I read this because I saw the SantaLand Diaries as a play last weekend & really enjoyed it. To be fair, I think Sedaris is better seen/heard than read. His radio essays & plays I've seen have been enjoyable & entertaining. His writing... eh... not so much.

 

I've always enjoyed listening to him on This American Life. The only one of his books I've read is Me Talk Pretty One Day. Some of the stories came through just fine in print, but others didn't. I agree that he's better heard than read.

 

 

And in that vein, I'll leave you with a link to a different holiday tale of his from the Netherlands, "6 to 8 Black Men" (about St. Nicholas & Zwarte Piet) since St. Nicholas day is approaching quickly. Enjoy!

 

Thanks! That was enjoyable.
