i've just discovered the flaming lips. the lead singer wayne's whiny-yet-lovely voice is a joy to behold...or behear. their new album yoshimi battles the pink robots is wall-to-wall shimmery quirkiness and the juicy cover art is as cute as ramona quimby. in case you hadn't noticed, i'm totally recommending it. like, totally.

from the l.a. times:

in his upcoming movie punch drunk, director p.t. anderson based one of his leading man's characteristics on a real person--a university professor who discovered a marketing loophole in a "win frequent flier miles" pudding sweepstakes and earned 1.25 million miles by buying $3,000 worth of pudding.

"this made sense to me," said anderson, "and, for whatever reason, pudding is funny."

damn straight.

last night my neighbor's cat caught a mouse and was playing with it. this morning, only the bottom half of the mouse was in the driveway. disgusting! poor little rodent never did nobody no harm. i always wondered why the cat answered to "killer."

and now i have to check in on this mouse murderer while the neighbor is gone this weekend. if i don't update within the next five days, call animal control.
