I like to tear things outta magazines to look at when I’m low. Also this story that takes place at Amoeba Records:
Customer : Hello.
Me: You’re very beautiful.
Customer : Thanks. Do you have Volver yet?
Me : By the time you read this, we probably will.
Customer: What did you think of it?
Me: I think that Pedro Almodovar is Athena come down off of Mount Olympus in the guise of an amusing Spanish man. I mean, no one writes women like him. The film is funny, sad, poignant, mysterious and horrifying all at once and the way it looks is like a handful of flower petals scattered across white sandstone. Penelope Cruz proves again that when she performs in her own language she’s brighter than the sun.
Customer: That’s nice of you to say.
Me : You know, you actually look like Penelope Cruz.
Customer : I am Penelope Cruz.
Me: Will you marry me?
Penelope Cruz: No.
