there's actually a handful of interesting indie releases coming out today:

Capturing the Friedmans - dvd town
The Secret Lives of Dentists - digitallyobsessed
Thirteen - upcomingdiscs.com, dvd file

today i'm working at 5 pm instead of the usual 3:45, so i actually have the whole day to do whatever i want. nice.

so i'm planning on renting two dvd's from the list above, getting some groceries, and remember folks there's an Air album to get today (there's a limited edition available with a bonus dvd), and then i'll try to find the Office set, and i might as well get the Curb your Enthusiasm set while i'm there, uh?

. . . . . . .

well, it was a very hectic rush to get everything done this morning, including the fact that the roommate called me up and wanted me to go pick her up from work for lunch and then drive her back.

i couldn't find The Office. sadly so. and to think i'd held the only copy available here in town two weeks ago. dammit. but i'm thinking about ordering it online. it would be way faster and probably cheaper. (ooh, i could also order Elbow's debut while i'm at it. why don't the stores around here have it??)

so, okay, here's what i got:

Curb your Enthusiasm, the complete first season

Air - Talkie Walkie (limited edition with bonus dvd)
Elbow - Cast of Thousands (limited edition with bonus cd-rom (they still make those?))

btw, i just realized/remembered that Nigel Godrich co-produced the air album. it'd been a while since i last heard about that. glad i got the album, then.

oh, practically every store had a few copies of Moby's new Voodoo Child disc. yay. waiting to get it, though. this morning i was getting the more pressing releases.

oh, i ended up renting Capturing the Friedmans and Thirteen. got both for at least two nights.

. . . . . . .

well, i actually watched last night's Avergae Joe: Hawaii this afternoon. wasn't feeling like watching one of my two rented films.

btw, i still haven't seen the Oscar nominations. lol. read up a few of them on CNN, though. whoda thought i'd be renting a film with a supporting actress in it (Holly Hunter) without knowing it? :)

the New Hampshire Primary results are tonight. i'm hoping, in no order, Kerry, Dean, and Clark get the top three.

also, 24 is back on tonight!

oh, and i also watched my first episode of Ken Finkleman's The Newsroom on CBC this afternoon (this was the second episode). i was seriously impressed by the tight writing/acting and i believe i'll be watching this series every week. (this episode included a Naomi Klein guess spot. be very impressed. i know i was.)

that's it. i'm gonna leave you with that. i gotta get ready for work...
