I ate an OSTRICH BURGER for dinner. Seriously. With caramelized onions and feta cheese, on a ciabatta bun. I forgot to take a picture (sorry).

We saw Tim & Eric Awesome Tour. It was very entertaining. It's one thing for them to dress up in skintight outfits and act like asses on youtube or whatever, and it's quite another thing to see them do it in front of 300 people! The venue made it a bit hard to see (really low stage + tall people in front), but it was good overall.

Oddly enough, we observed that it was the same types of people at Tim & Eric as we would ordinarily see at an indie comics-type show, like MoCCA or this weekend's Stumptown (note: we won't be there). Hip nerds and nerdy hipsters. Someone even recognized me and said something about Scott Pilgrim, or else I was hallucinating.

Edgar is in Toronto right now. If you see him, say hello. Maintain a respectful distance. Holster all firearms. What is he doing there? I have no idea! I can't be there because I'm immigrating and if I leave the U.S. right now they'd never let me back in.

I also bought a bicycle last night. It was only 300 bucks, and it's the nicest bike I've ever owned. (Actually, that's not strictly true... I had this awesome neon-orange mountain bike in high school. I think my brother took it out and got it stolen while I was in California in 2001. It was the purple replacement bike my parents picked up that was the only crappy bike I've ever owned, I guess.) I am looking forward to riding it everywhere!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Saw it opening night with a fairly stupid audience (sample talkback, after a tender, heart-felt outpour of emotion from Sarah Marshall: "What a bitch!"). For me, this was the most successful of the Apatow-brand comedies thus far. Lots of laughs, lots of heart, and everyone felt like a Real Person. Jason Segel is a great writer. I hope this makes him a big movie star, and that he gets to keep doing what he wants, like the Muppets or whatever. I liked that it felt more structured than the Apatow-helmed stuff, and it edged out Superbad by a long shot (which I felt spent too much time dickin' around with the cops and minor characters, not focusing on the main duo). Plus, the girl from That 70s Show has really come into her own. Man, her eyes are soooo big.

Cloverfield: I watched this on my computer. I thought it was great, and I don't understand why people got so ticked-off by it. Yeah, it was short, but it did everything it promised to do, in a really visceral way. The characters were not vapid and one-dimensional (sorry, everyone). They were believable as people in a believably unbelievable situation. Parts of it really moved me, and I was 100% along for the ride. (Note to complainers: don't take this as an invitation to pontificate on why you hated this movie, because I don't actually care)
