No to Pedro Yes to Primer

The Mets are minutes away from signing Pedro to a long-term contract. DON'T DO IT! Not another over-the-hill free agent! He had a decent season but these are the Mets and no free agent fares well with the Mets. I hope I'm wrong but let's see: Mo Vaughn, Roberto Alomar, Shawn Estes, Jeremy Burnitz, Tom Glavine, Mike Cameron, Kaz Matsui...not looking good.
Last night, saw one of the best films of the year: PRIMER. Go see it. Filmmakers, see what 7,000 bucks can get you. TO whomever's reading this, let's pool together a few bucks and make a feature this summer!
Grabbed dinner with PCic at Bianca, a sweet cash-only Italian joint in the Bowery. It's what LA sorely lacks: a casual, moderately priced neighborhood restaurant that serves terrific food and drink, one whose waitstaff is warm and attentive. LA waiters are either stupid pricks or are so eager to please they might as well get down on their knees and fellate/slurp the living shit out of you. I remember taking ARoss to Koi for lunch and the waiter---a dead ringer for Jason Lewis---couldn't shut up about how totally awesome such-and-such dish is---Koi is good but ain't no Mori Sushi--- or about how great the Minnesota Twins are blah blah blah. Dude, you're from South Dakota (no joke), what do you know about anything? Don't get much of that here thankfully: just respect and space.

That's what I'm talking about! We should have seen Primer at the NuArt last month. And he made it in a garage like 15 blocks from my house in Dallas. I'll contribute 20 bucks and my time towards the feature this summer.

Oh, and I noticed that the Mets were taking a look at rookie pitcher Chris Young - but only if the Rangers can't hold onto him (he's going to be the next R. Johnson at 6 foot 11 inches and a 97 mph fastball in his first game as a pro).
