My favs, in descending order:

• An Education
• The City of Your Destination
• Up In The Air
• Love and Roadkill
• The Men Who Stare At Goats
• Handsome Harry
• Whatever Works
• Mercy

I enjoyed seeing all of these, but I’m quite tired of sitting and watching at this point.  And yet off I go to BAM, after only being back in NYC for three hours, to see Quartett.

Nice. An Education was fantastic. I’m looking forward to seeing all of these in the coming weeks.

I’m holding out a lot of hope for “Up in the Air” to be good.  I’ve really liked everything Reitman has done (Juno, Thank You for Smoking - not including his shorts) and hope this will turn out similarly as well done.

Not to mention that a lot of the airport scenes were shot at DTW airport.  That’s got to count for something.

Say Anything - Crush’d

Your other suitors are no poets
They’re only actors who can play guitar
Have I won your heart?
They’re not students or screenwriters
They’re only models that they taught to me
Love would you agree?

I have a total crush on you, baby
And I can’t let it go, oh no
I have a total crush on you baby, baby!
If only I could

Did it hurt? Did it hurt? Did it hurt,
When you fell from heaven girl?
Did it hurt? Did it hurt? Did it hurt,
When you fell from heaven girl?

Say Anything - Less Cute

I have this not so secret but rather unrealistic dream of going into space. I went to Space Camp, subscribed to a NASA photo service, watched and rewatched Apollo 13, went to rocket launches, and was going to be an astronaut… a long time ago.

The reasons for my space romance are a few, but now I am mostly seduced by poetic sensations like looking back at the earth to see it globular, hanging in a void and by traversing the untrodden, barren landscape of another planet. The infinite solitariness, unfathomable vastness, and life-threatening distance from the known are godly fascinations that remind me of my humanity.

Since the likelihood of my space voyage continues to be nonexistent, however, I seek out experiences that mimic the high. Hence why this unpopulated, unvegetated lava field in the middle of an active volcano sucked me in. It’s the closest I’ve ever been to the sensation of moonwalking. Also moonrunning, moonlaughing, and mooncontemplating.

I took these photos in black and white, but I didn’t need to. The landscape is naturally, freakishly monochromatic. As if you’re on a faraway planet that has all the properties of earthly physical things like form and matter…except for color.

In the middle of trekking this lonely rock surface (so far from crowds, cities, cars, and the rest of man’s byproducts), my mother turned and whispered urgently to me, “Shhh, if we’re completely still, we won’t hear any humans.” We froze, and stood bug-eyed on the vast volcanic crater, listening. No humans. I loved us for that.

I can’t believe you went to Space Camp! I always wanted to go to Space Camp. I stil want to go to Space Camp! How was it?

I went as a 5th grader, and I can confirm IT WAS AWESOME.

Put me on the side of the jealous “always wanted to go to Space Camp” crew.

Man, this is so true. First it was my parents’ magazines, then it was Uncle Johns trivia books, then it was a long string of Gameboys, DS’, and PSPs, and finally the iPhone.

Note to self; Don’t ask to borrow lukees iPhone.

This is SO true.

I would buy these and I don’t have a cat.  In fact I hate cats.  But I love Charlie’s “Kitten Mittens.”

It’s “Kitten Mittons”, which was one of the more humorous parts of the bit for me because it’s so Charlie.

Currently watching.

The intensity of this cover makes me want to buy right away. I mean, he’s a cop but he has no badge. Mind = blown.

I wonder if this dude knows his ghost clones are out to get him. “Watch out! They’re right behind you.”

I really don’t need another thing on my plate, but I don’t know if I can resist this.

Look we can now extend our vocabulary and practice for SATs thanks to Twilight. And here I was Stephanie Meyer was just a mediocre writer.

I don’t know that I feel like James Cameron has really gotten his money’s worth…

I mean ~$300-$500 million for these cat people?  Really?

I’m pretty sure I need to put up a no vacancy sign on my lap now.
