Cowboy Bear Ninja
You're not still making major life decisions using Rock Paper Scissors, are you? Judith turned me onto Cowboy Bear Ninja last year, and I converted immediately.
Urban Dictionary says it best: Two players stand back to back and take three paces away from each other as in a gun duel. They then quickly turn to face each other and act the part of a bear, ninja, or cowboy. The bear mauls the ninja to death, the ninja kicks the cowboy's ass, and the cowboy shoots the bear.
They're all fun, but I have a special fondness for making the bear face. Ninjas beware!

Queue management, part 2
I'm doing it again -- moving certain movies down my Netflix queue, whenever they creep close to the top. If anyone wants to help me decide one way or another, I'd be obliged.
Strangers with Candy -- I love Amy Sedaris, but 91 mins. of Jerri Blank seems like a lot.
Ballets Russes -- I actually rented this one already, but after 10 uneventful minutes I turned it off and sent it back. Was not in a very forgiving mood then, and who's to say the next time will be any different? Still, it's supposed to be interesting.
Wah-Wah -- Could be good. Can't remember hearing anything about it. Not sure why I put in on my list.
An Inconvenient Truth -- Al Gore, in my living room? I probably should have seen this in the theater.
Dave Chappelle's Block Party -- The comedy part sounds good, the music part, not as good.
Happy Accidents -- There has to be a reason I've never heard of a romantic comedy starring reasonably acclaimed actors Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio. The fact that D'Onofrio's role is that of a time traveler from 2470 could hint to the reason -- that it's terrible? Still, I can't seem to take it off my queue.

2 short films about Isabel
Or more accurately, 2 short films starring Isabel.
The first is in Japanese, so I don't really know what's going on. Something about pounding mochi, whatever that is. Her smile is so beautiful I love it anyway. (21 secs)
I totally know what's going on in this one -- the chicken dance! I taught her myself, and she's a natural. Almost ready for the wedding/bar mitzvah circuit. (9 secs)
