Stuff I like

I like having things in common with people that I don't know that well and acknowledging that we both like it. It makes for a good 30 second conversation and a fake-bond. When I first started hanging out with Philip, we kept saying how much we don't have in common-but at the same time, we kind of have a lot in common too. I guess the things that we don't have in common are superficial.


Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Easily one of my favorite movies. I first saw this when it came out in the theaters and I was completely blown away. I remember getting scared at how realistically they portrayed the ups and downs of relationships. Pessimistic, but also so romantic without using the usual romance formula. I also remember wearing a black long sleeved shirt to the theater and when I came out there were white marks all along the bottom of the sleeves from snot- from crying, not allergies. I ain't no nerd! I was so embarrassed.




The Brothers Bloom




Rented this and watched it one Sunday afternoon. Didn't anticipate liking it, but it turned out to be really entertaining. I laughed out loud and felt nice and satisfied when it was over. That's one of my things about movies-I need to feel satisfied. The story-line is interesting and the acting was good too. I love Rachel Weiss. Her character is the bomb.


Vicky Cristina Barcelona


















My favorite Woody Allen film of all time. These two best friends go to Barcelona and happen to meet this artist (Javier Bardem), a cocky douche-bag who is twice their age. He hooks up with one of the friends, and then the story begins. Sounds cheesy, but it's solid.


Bright Eyes-First Day of My Life

If you have a gag reflex towards sappy music, this ain't for you. I have loved this song for a long time and even though Conor Oberst's voice is warbley and slightly off-tune, I have grown to like him a lot. The whole I'm Wide Awake it's Morning album is good. Sweet lyrics.




Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. Went to Lucky's for a little bit and then went back home. Philip was not drinking and had to go home so he did that, and I ended up re-meeting up with Chris at Tipsy Clover. Had a good time. Later went to West Gray Cafe and had to make friends with a goth girl because she heard Chris say something about her lips (they were really big and collagened up). I could tell she was mad for real. She kept calling him a douche and was all rolling her eyes and looking pissed. Anyway, it ended up well.
