Sara Recommends 6
Dogville
I need more people to see this movie. Simply because I need more people to talk to about this film. It was filmed on a soundstage that was dressed very very starkly. Nicole Kidman suprises me sometimes. She is one of those stars that it is hard to forget that it is her, but this one had me hooked on her. I don't want to give tons away -- see it and we will discuss.
Bust, April/May 2005 issue
Amy Sedaris is on the cover. Wearing huge falsies and cut lemon tops for nipples under this yellow dress. And, to top it off, she is interviewed by Mya Rudolph. Bust magazine is what Bitch magazine would secretly read but never admit to. Smart, hip, craft tips, and with fashion tips. But with real size models and some fun and funky things.
Dark Chocolate M&Ms
I have not tried them yet. But I just saw a commerical for them -- and dark chocolate is my weakness. The commercial was Star Wars, and probably the commercial is better than Episode III.
Portland Public Market
This is quite possibily one of my favorite places in Portland. Great big ol' warehouse full of vendors of veggies, seafood, jams, etc and some great places to get some meals. I love to go and read there or sit and have never ending conversations with friends sitting up top. Plus, I found the ginger candy I love that I could only find piece by piece at the Thai place. It was at this stand that sells spices and other exotic things. And there is a giant scary lobster. GIANT.
Loveshack, B-52s
I think this has to be one of the top dancing songs out there. If your dance floor is empty, this is almost a guarntee to get people out there. The "bang-bang on the door" is my favorite part.

Random Tidbit: Jay Lewis
This random tidbit is brought to you by Jay Lewis, who I can take a guess was responding to Kath Kohler's previous advice.
When purchasing soda, if you are considering a new flavor that you have never previously tasted, you should first buy only one can of it, since single cans are widely available. If you like it, you can then go on to purchase the 12 pack after that. Do not buy a 12 pack of something that you are not certain you will like. If you follow this simple advice, you will never end up with 11 cans of diet root beer that you don't like.

Poem I wish I was clever enough to write
The Purple Cow
I never say a Purple Cow;
I never Hope to See One;
But I can Tell you, Anyhow,
I'd rather See than Be One!
Ah, Yes! I Wrote "The Purple Cow"
Ah, Yes! I Wrote the "Purple Cow"--
I'm sorry now, I Wrote it!
But I can Tell you, Anyhow,
I'll Kill you if you Quote it!
--Gelett Burgess (1866-1951)

I never Hope to See One;

Rediscovering old music
So I was taking a little tour through music past last week and had forgotten how much I like some bands.
Better than Ezra -- My fondest music memory of this is Julie singing "King of New Orleans" at random moments. She would just be walking with you across campus and sing a line or two. It was the voice of someone who loved life and experienced it openly and without questions. Plus, the lead singers voice is pop-ish but had a great depth to it.
Crash Test Dummies -- Ok, confession, I still listen to some of these songs on a very regular basis. "Afternoons and Coffeespoons" is my favorite -- especially after hearing Common Rotation cover it at the living room concert.
Jill Sobule -- The album with "I kissed a girl" is better than I remember. "Supermodel" is just a fun song. "Karen by night" is also a great story song.
What are some old albums you would like to resurrect from your past?

This Random Tidbit is brought to you by Kath Kohler, who just may be a little too bored at work:
Diet Root Beer and Diet Ginger Ale suck. If you have a craving, just get the good stuff.
