STATUS: In Florida. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. The Sunshine State is kind of depressing, actually.

FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT THIS SECOND:I don’t know if I’d call it a *fave* necessarily, but it’s interesting at least. Scarlett Johansson made an album, and it’s online. I don’t hate it; I don’t love it. It’s just …. there.

So, I hear the new Indiana Jones movie is kicking butt at the box office. I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Great beginning, then a bit of a plotless meander. What I love about the movie, though, is its continued promotion of Shia LeBouf. Not that I love him as an actor. I don’t. But what I do love is his breakout role (apart from a Nickelodeon show) in a little movie titled Holes. It’s based off the book by Louis Sachar, and it’s definitely on my list of top ten books of all time. I know I say I like things a lot, but this book? Amazing. And the movie? It’s awesome. It got the total shaft at the box office, which is a shame because it rocks so hard.

Anyway, now that Shia is a bona fide A-list star, lots of channels are playing Holes on the tele, and I think this is a very, very good thing. If you channel surf and happen to hit it, pause a sec and watch. You won’t be disappointed.
