it's like i'm looking for some answer

So today got better. I drove down to College Park and spent the evening with my Stewbert. We went to Noodles (of course) and then rented a movie.

So, I need someone to tell me why exactly Lost in Translation is a good movie. Cause I really didn't like it, at all. I kept feeling like I was supposed to like it, but it was so boring. There was no real plot or any on-going thread to make me like the characters, and way too many pointless scenes of someone eating cereal or walking down the street. I get that it was supposed to be about this relationship between two misfits in a strange land, but it just didn't work for me. So if you liked it, please tell me why. Also, let me know how exactly it managed to keep your attention for the full two hours. :P

Since I didn't like that movie much, and neither did Stew, we saw fit to watch the South Park movie after it. Much much better. :P

I should go to bed. I have to give a tour at 1030 tomorrow. But before I do, here are my favorite lyrics of the day:


The Push Stars - Wild Irish Rose

They're closing down the farmer's market
And traffic's building down the lane
I'm an angry taxi driver's target
But that's okay
It's just the way he shakes his pain

Somedays my lover can't complete me
Sometimes my work cannot be done
Somedays I see my sun as setting
And I don't know, I don't know which way to run

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

The sign said "Live Exotic Dancers"
Not surprised I find my self inside
It's like I'm looking for some answer
For why my spirit's dead inside

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

And I never met my great grandfather
But I swear I saw his ghost last night
He looked just like he looked in pictures
Except he was not black and white

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

One of the Reading stations was having spots all week, "The Push Stars are coming to Reading!" And acting like I would have expected them to for, like, Ozzy. Except for how they weren't playing their songs, just raving about them coming to town. It really bothered me.
The bothering me thing might have something to do with the fact that the same station was completely ignoring the fact that Elton John was playing in Reading the same day. Now, I'm not going to pay good money to go see Elton John...but he's good, and famous. More well known than the Push Stars (which I actually thought was "Pushsters" until I saw it in print...). And probably a great deal more exciting.
