Let's play around with a few of the thoughts currently in my head: 

                             

• I signed up for a netflix subscription two weekends ago (I cancelled my satellite and thought I'd do something to treat myself to some clear tv viewing) and recently rented Wristcutters: A Love Story and Happiness. Happiness is directed by Todd Solonz, and his others are now on my queue. I recommend the both of them to you. There's plenty of familiar faces in each (look for Tom Waits and Will Arnett appearances in WALS) and they're both a bit on the odd side with up and downs, which I enjoyed. Indie, interesting, and gluten-free; good for all.
• My brother just sent me a care package in the mail with 5 cds in it with more songs from Bishop Allen, Born Ruffians, fun from bff Adam, and oodles of joy. I can't wait! (to take them to work and load them on my computer and iPod there since my cd/dvd drive on my home laptop has decided to not allow for input.)
• I picked up a couple of new books this weekend: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers and Geek Love by Katherine Dunn. I started reading the latter Saturday afternoon and I'm about halfway through it. Fun and kooky. Damn work sure gets in the way of my reading time. Grr.
