movies and much more

two movie-ish sites for you. the first one's an obvious choice, profiling their favorite drunks on film. i give them props for Peter O'Toole in "My Favorite Year." enjoyed that film quite a bit. but they missed steve buscemi in Tree's Lounge. the lyrics for the movie's theme song are at the end of this post—you'll understand why i like it so much.

second movie site is less obvious. it focuses on movies with running in them. this one is to get my ass motivated and back in training for my 8th annual turkey trot. it's an annual thanksgiving day race—6.1 miles long. my friend (who has run it with me 7 times so far) and i used to celebrate afterwards by buying 40oz beers. imagine how we looked walking into a liquor store on thanksgiving morning...probably before 10am...still proudly wearing our race numbers and racing gear.

celebrated the finish last year with some near beer and also had my third fastest time in seven years. hmmm. coincidence? maybe. maybe not.

I sit here in Tree's Lounge

I pour it in my mouth


I need something to forget

What got me in this mess

I'm feeling less and less

My judgement is not clear

I do things that I fear

I would never do



I sit here in Tree's Lounge

I order one more round


You have a pretty name

You're pretty like your name

Lets play a drinking game

And if I win I get to take you home and if you win you go home with me



Cause I need something to forget
