(500) Days of Summer:

1. All right, I'm just going to say it. NEEDS MOAR GUBLER. Now that that's out of the way.
2. I desperately want Zooey Deschanel's hair.
3. Joseph Gordon-Levitt sort of had a Heath Ledger thing going on—sharp angles on the face, deep-set eyes, smirking grin.
4. I loved the architectural details interspersed throughout the movie. They were a nice way to emphasize the fact that Tom wasn't living up to his dreams.
5. Marc Webb stole the majority of the soundtrack from my iPod. True story. Okay not really true, but I was having a fun little internal game of "identify this song" and I got most of them.
6. Summer's attitude towards love and life very much reminded me of Betsy. Also the HUMONGOUS EYES. I miss the Betsy (and the rest of the Orlando folks!).
7. OF COURSE HIS NEW OBJECT OF AFFECTION IS NAMED AUTUMN. I literally facepalmed at that. I was with you until that, Marc Webb, but at that point, you sort of stepped into cutesyville and I just couldn't go with you.
8. The karaoke scene was delightful and I sort of want to hear JGL actually sing, because he seems as though he might be quite good at it.
9. I totally thought of teamradvak every time Tom wore his Joy Division shirt.
10. Overall, a very good movie. I liked the way it was structured, the writing was sharp, the acting all around was very good.

Before the movie, I saw trailers for Whip It! (OMG want to see that so very badly) and Adam, which looks cute and awkward and full of the ever-charming Mr. Dancy. (not Darcy, DaNcy.)

Tomorrow: Heather and Rob's virtual baby shower (via phone call, since we couldn't all convene in Maryland), Greek Festival (there had better be a MOUNTAN of BAKLAVA), and a co-worker's birthday party (there are promises of s'mores!).

Sigh. Matthew Gray Gubler, you will be the death of me. ( Read more... )

Watching the third to last ever episode of Pushing Daisies. It makes me super super happy, and yet, super super sad, because I know there will never be more PD eps made. Yes, I managed to not download the episodes when they were leaked, preferring to wait until I could see them on my TV screen. Damn you ABC. Damn. You. I may have to go see Land of the Lost just to support one of my celebrity BFFs, Anna Friel.

I'm tempted to blow off my attempts to clean and watch Firefly instead. Probably shouldn't. Haven been gone for two weekends in a row means I need to clean.

I bought a giant slice of carrot cake yesterday at Downtown Produce, and it was the best decision I've made in a long time. Okay, maybe not.
