shit's been happening
1. For Your Consideration is disappointing. Easily the least of Christopher Guest's movies.
2. The liquidation of Tower Records has finally hit the sweet spot. This weekend all rap and hip-hop cds were 70% off. I picked up a few things I've been meaning to buy for months and even years, including the Idlewild soundtrack, Cee-Lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections, and Three 6 Mafia's Most Known Unknowns. Total price? $15.90, before tax. I think this was a special deal for this weekend only; still, regular cds are 40% off, and they have a surpringly good and deep selection left.
3. Johnny Cupcakes is my least favorite store ever. Such a deceptive name.
4. I don't want to see him go, but the Braves absolutely have to trade Andruw Jones. Barring injury, the dude's gonna get at least $150 million next year. There's no way in hell Atlanta can come close to that, so they need to do whatever they can to get him to accept a trade, preferrably before the season starts. If they can't get Adam Loewen from Baltimore for Hudson, then they should see if they'd do Loewen, Chris Ray, and Nick Markakis for Jones. If necessary, switch Ray out with Hayden Penn. They need to get something for Andruw other than a draft pick or two.
