the heart sighs...

i forgot how good Garden State is.


Saw it in the jam-packed Mayan theater off Broadway back in August before it hit national (ah...the joy of living in a big city).

When it came out on video/dvd last Tuesday, i took advantage of a generous christmas present at Borders and put part of my gift certificate towards my purchase of the DVD. sa-weet. six days later, i've finally gotten around to watching it.

couldn't have been better timing, even tho i had to split the viewing in half because i had to leave earlier for the Bronco/Colts game.

I'm so friggen' emo lately. i am the poster girl for all that indie pop music that the college kids play at coffee houses. gross.

(this was googled under 'emo.' - cool shot)

but this movie totally draws all that bullshit out of you, then lets you have faith in yourself again even tho you may be totally fucked up/confused/lost in life (and i am so lost right now). i have to admire anyone (zach braff) who can take some universal feelings and hit you right in your soft spot in just a few short sentences. i babble. i'm not capable of this talent.

it doesn't hurt that the soundtrack totally rules. i knew i fell in love with z. back on scrubs so long ago for a good reason...

am thinking -- need to be more aware of what i want/need out of my relationships with people, rather than just go along with the other person's requests...whether that be verbal or non...i think sometimes i get to muted/flexed.

i'm also in this total cleaning mood. did my closet today. i have way too many clothes/shoes/sheets/coats/purses...however, pales in comparison to most divas. feel like i need to rid myself of unneccessary clutter to allow space for some newness. anyone ever apply this to people as well? out with the old... in with the new (and hopefully wonderful). i'm thinking of doing a little spring cleaning with some boy material...
