I have the song "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs stuck in my head. The lyrics are either really great abstract ideas or just random gibberish. Either way, I keep singing along. Speaking of songs stuck in my head. The Darkness's song is stuck in my head and I really HATE that song.
I went to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a few weekends ago. I really love that moive. I went to see it a second time, but I couldn't get that same amazing feeling. I guess this is just one of those movies I just can't watch a second time like The Usual Suspects or Sixth Sense. The quote from which the title is derived is also very wonderful:
"How hapy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'ed;"
Alexander Pope - "Eloisa to Abelard".
There was this preview for a movie called Garden State, and I have never seen a preview that made my heart ache. I figured out that it was mostly the song that was making my heart ache. I don't know, just something about it, maybe the voice that makes me want to cry. The song is called "Let go" by Frou Frou; it reminds me a little of Smashing Pumpkins. The trailer can be found at http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2004/DEFGH/Garden-State/footage/.
All these beautiful songs, images, and ideas keep sneaking up on me, and they all make me absolutly happy to exist right now.

i am trying to resist...she is working on wearing down my walls and breaking into my basket of sympathy...although she is the one that asked for space, and then proceeded to start dating other guys.

i don't know why...but i can grow absolutely NO appreciation for the Darkness...maybe it's cuz i hated faggy white boy wuss-metal bands the first time around. they are all over magazine covers and TV and i know it's all a bit, a laugh...but i don't find any amusement by their music. the video is campy, sure, but i would still like them to either put out some serious music or leave. I don't have time for this bullshit.
