my girlfriend celia and i managed to independently discover the 99¢ daffodils at trader joe’s that ruth at blogging.la discovered.

we grabbed about four bunches, and it turns out that one of them were the white flowers you see, in addition to the yellow daffodils.

ask the dust is set in los angeles in the depression, and one of the best things about the movie was the few shots of los angeles, like angels flight at its original third street location. celia thought they should have included more shots of salma hayek’s tits. (and i’m not going to argue with that.)

v for vendetta is entirely unlike ask the dust, but it was also a letdown. subtle as a box of hammers, and i thought it fell short on the action front. but there were a couple of flashy effects that were worth seeing on the big screen.
