"I'm hungry. I haven't eaten since later this afternoon."

Name the movie (without cheating) and you get 50 bonus style points.

Man... I just want to talk about the movie I just watched but then you'll know the answer! Oh well... when you figure it out, rent it!

Speaking of movies/films (sometimes I'm a stickler for saying "film" and sometimes it really is a "movie"... all in all, they're just "videos" though) we recently joined Zip.ca. Basically, it's a Canadian NetFlix (if you don't know what that is, Google it). Anyway, they have a library of 72,000+ movies (including TV shows) and so all the ones I can never find at Blockbuster are all queued up and ready to go. It's sweet. Though, I added a whole lot more to our list than Fran did so to be fair I had to put a hold on a few titles (127, actually). Anyway, I'm loving it and we're still in the first two-weeks free-promotion. BTW, if you decide to try it out, I think you can enter my email as a referral and I get some points or something. But, you know, whatever.

So what would you do if you suddenly had $1200 extra? Yeah, me too. But after that... well, a bit after... Ok, fine: there's a bass guitar I really like that costs about $1200, but I'm probably not getting it anytime soon (and it would be bass#2, not a replacement). Anyway, here's the bassist from Cirque Du Soleil playing one (unplugged, I might add) that Godin just gave to him:



That's right: Fretless, Semi-Acoustic, 5-string glory! If Tom, Russ, Ben, or Brad is reading this, I finally found the bass I dreamed of so many moons ago. Still, it will be many moons before I have the spare cash for a spare bass and it will be many more moons before I can play like that guy... actually, that'll probably just never happen. Oh well.

Speaking of extremely talented musicians:



This begs a question... who do you think is a better drummer: Neal Peart or Carter Beauford? I already know the correct answer is Beauford, I just want to know what you think. As far as bassists... well, I'm failing to think of anyone who could compare to Victor Wooten. Les Claypool from Primus is pretty amazing, but still I say Victor. BTW, "Flea" is not an acceptable answer. Yes, he's good, but he's a junior mint compared to these guys.

Keep your eye out this week as I have every intention of updating First To The Pews within the next 7 days. Hold me to it, folks.

Later,
