I find the end of this LAT blurb amusing. "You're a rancher," the questioner said to Bush. "A lot of here in Kansas are ranchers. I was just wanting to get your opinion on 'Brokeback Mountain,' if you've seen it yet." The hall filled with nervous laughter as Bush smirked.
"You would love it," the questioner persisted. "You should check it out."
I'm sure he would. Heh heh. Actually, this goes for eveyone, not just Bush -- it's an excellent movie. Catch it before it rides away with the awards season. Though Crash affected me more personally, and is being largely overlooked even for noms. Ah well.
On a completely unrelated note, why on earth doesn't donkey rhyme with monkey? I mention this because Richard Burger said "dunkey" today and I realized that there's no reason not to pronounce it that way. Also wierd: Richard Burger, Tom Tartaron and Andrew Hill are the only people I've met who pronounce "huge" and "human" "yuge" and "yuman," and they're all Yale Anthromen. I actually asked Tom about this and he was unaware that the other two pronounced it that way, so I guess it's not just a Yale thing. We thought it might be a regional thing, except RB is from NY, TT is from OH and AH is from the UK. So go figure.
I'm getting really impatient with the slower members of my Spanish class. For the love of God, ll is pronounced "y," but just one l is not! To put it in terms you would understand, it's like how "tortilla" doesn't rhyme with "tequila." Now I know how I looked in Calc. Sorry Zach McKinney.
How much do I love Gourmet Heaven?
