Quote of the week: "Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."

Movie Review: "I Love You Man" (R)
Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) has spent his entire life without strong male companionship. When he asks his girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones) to marry him, he realizes he doesn't have anyone to be his groomsmen. A series of quasi-gay "man-dating" ensures until he meets Sydney Fife (Jason Segel). They hit it off so well it almost ruins Peter's marriage plans. Stupid guy break-up happens and they end up making up in the end. A little too much guy love in this movie. I am close with my friends, but his borders on just gay. There are funny parts, but not their best work.
Grade: B-

This week in bitching:
The magic number is at 7. If the Pirates loose 7 more games, they will have reached loss #82 on the season. This will seal the deal on a record 17th consecutive loosing season for the franchise. They have 32 more games left, so they would have to go 26-6 for the rest of the year (which I highly doubt). The team will most likely reach at least 19 loosing seasons before they are able to turn this thing around.
