Mah life

Christmas came and went. And it snowed. Yay. I saw a movie tonight and for the first time in the last three times I visited our crappy little Deerbrook cineplex I didn't feel cheated out of my money. I saw a movie called Spanglish. It wasn't pretentious. It wasn't stupid. It didn't rely on vulgarity to be funny. It was quite simply a good movie. Possibly great. It was Spanglish and the W&D title goes to Mr. James L. Brooks who directed one of my all time faves, As Good As It Gets. Adam Sandler is so much better when he's not trying to gross you out or be completely stupid. It was refreshing. They gave us characters that I cared about and it was entertaining. It captivated me for as long as it had my attention and isn't that exactly what a movie's supposed to do? I got an iPod for our very Merry 25th. It's a 40 Gigger so I'm in the process of searching for things that will fill it right up. If you have any CDs that you'd be willing to allow me to borrow that would be nice. I've already ripped every Sports Night and West Wing episode I have into MP3 format so I can fall asleep to the beautiful sounds of Sorkin sung through the intruments of Janney and Lowe and Huffman and Sheen and Krause and Malina and Whitford and Lloyd and more. Drop me a line if you would be so kind as to loan out your CDs to me.
