If you haven't seen O Brother, Where Art Thou? go watch it. No really, just go rent it.
My admiration for the Coen brothers continues to grow. They spin tales of miraculous appeal, and create films that are, in many respects, mesmerizing.
In this one, it's George Clooney as you've never seen him, and John Turturro makes an impressive stab at deadpan comedy. I hear Clooney, Billy Bob and the Brothers are teaming up again next year for another one.

I called it right about that restaurant. We spent about half the day preparing the quote for that bugger, and he took one look at it, said it was way too expensive and said his friend would do it for him for free. God, if he wanted a Word job, I wish he would have told me.
In truth, it's my fault. He doesn't understand why he needs our services, why he can't just get his daughter to print it of his computer at home. It was my job to show him why not and I wasn't able to do that. The quote was well prepared, but our pitch wasn't, I guess. A lesson for next time: show don't tell.
