I’m looking for suggestions for topics to cover in my e-mail newsletter. Any ideas out there from the sage webheads who read these words? (I’m also always looking for subscribers, so if you know anyone to recommend it to, I would be eternally grateful.)

I would write a review of “Red Dragon” but I pretty much agree with everything Xkot said, and he got there first. So I won’t repeat it, other than to emphasize how woefully miscast Ralph Fiennes was. A handsome, tiny man with a shaving scar does not a Francis Dolarhyde make.

In its place, here’s my first four-word review:

Right now you’re loving this moment, and it radiates from everything you do. Your happy enthusiasm impresses everyone. Some aspire to be like you, while others just want to be around you.

Have you seen that UPS commercial with the series of happy, smiling people so delighted to be receiving their packages from the happy, smiling UPS driver? The one that ends where the children rush up and spontaneously hug the UPS driver?

For the last few years I’ve been on quite a anti-consumerist kick. My friend Mike Van Sistine would beg to differ, constantly ribbing me about my lakefront condo and “German touring sedan” (VW Passat). But in general, the idea of “shopping” for “stuff” leaves me vaguely unsettled, and I would much rather give something away than acquire something new.

But today I was in Best Buy, and I found myself wandering over to the high-definition, 16:9 plasma TVs. *Homer Simpson drool* I may have blacked out for a minute.
