Garden State.
I know i'm like 2 months late on watching it, but it's so damn good. The music! The Shins scene was cute, although between this and the gratuitious death cab plugs on The OC, I don't know how my indieness will ever cope.
Joking, of course - I'm not sure how much I changed over the last year, but one thing that definitely has changed is the way I look at music. Though I still absolutely love it and basically can't function without music of some sort around me, I don't wear my favorite bands like marks of how 'underground' I can go; I'm totally okay with death cab signing to Atlantic, and The Shins being plugged in a film, and such. Basically, if a band is great in the first place, and gets a lot of exposure, there's no reason why they can't still make great music, but now with a bigger audience (and more money. Bands need to eat, too!) If it means getting concert tickets is that much harder, oh well. Plus, this is a great way to encourage us, while still loving the now-famous band, to look for other lesser-known bands to throw our fawning attention on.
This week is Secret Snowflake . . basically, you choose a number from 1 - 5 (nottoocrazy to insanecrazyalmostgetnaked) and get randomly assigned another person of the same craziness number, and you have to give them a task every day of the week until Friday of this week (dead week). Julia, you're going to love this - whoever got me is a total Rocky Horror fan and has given me a first task of getting up on a chair in my boxers, blasting 'touch-a touch-a touch'a touch me" and singing along and pretending to touch myself during the chorus.
pictures forthcoming if someone takes them.
This is frightening. Two posts in less than a week!
