You're a human, I'm a vampire

AD & I went to see Garden State last night. I really liked it. I think it might have been one of the first movies I've ever watched not knowing anything about it. I just knew that I liked Zach Braff and I like Natalie Portman and figured what the heck. Let me say, not knowing anything about the movie made it that much better (especially now that I've seen the trailer and it gives stuff away). Just a very good movie, with no "villians" or "bullies", just a show about life, living, growing up, and understanding yourself. I didn't know Braff had it in him. I hope he keeps up the good work and makes some more films. Lots of great little moments that make you laugh out loud and other moments that are just so well done that you're really in the movie. So the movie gets a big thumbs up from me. Plus Natalie Portman's character was named "Samantha" so yay.
Unfortunately it made my brain start to work, but I won't bore you with the details. For some reason I just went insane. If you want details (or what i can remember of the details) you'll have to go ( into the LJ cut )
We watched some of The Family Guy episodes with commentary on. They are just plain goofy. The creator of the show, Seth McFarlane, really likes to hear his own voice. He does the voices of Peter, Stewie and Brian in the middle of the commentary too. They can get pretty rude but we were giggling. The commentaries are more lively than the Simpsons ones, probably because they only did a few episodes and it's all still pretty fresh in their minds.
Attempted to use the air conditioner in my car today, that thing does not work very well. I gave up and turned it off half way home cuz the car was not getting any cooler and when the AC is on, it's harder to keep it up to speed, and since it was the middle of rush hour I decided that I'd rather go fast. AD just suggested I might be out of coolant. That could be the case.
*sigh* another week of non-stop work. I babysat today and tomorrow and sunday I'm at The Limited. I'm so tired. Thursday the people upstairs were getting new carpet. For some reason they carpet people started installing it at 8am. And they started right over our bedroom. Ugh, the hammers were pounding. I lost an hour of sleep trying to suffocate myself with my pillows so I'd pass out. I went to be at midnight last night and slept the whole night thru and woke up EXHAUSTED. I don't understand my body at all.
Anyhoo, before I go, I made a bunch of Garden State icons. I started out with trying to make an icon for each song on the soundtrack CD, but ran out of caps (I only had caps of the trailer). So then I made a couple more that were just random. Comments welcomed. ( Enjoy, thank you, and goodnight )
