The Case Of The Mysterious Mondays

This was definitely one of those Mondays that left me feeling woozy. Now, the exact biological cause of the woozy feeling may turn out to be something bigger, just because I wasn't feeling so well earlier on, but that remains to be seen. After an apple and a slight rest on the bed, I'm feeling better. I'll keep you all informed, of course.

A couple of interesting things happened to me over the weekend. The first was another Computer Disaster whereby Windows unexpectedly and completely crashed. I guess I was lucky, though, because it wasn't the hard drive's fault this time. No data was lost, just a few hours of my time that I could have otherwise spent working or goofing off.

Gina and I also went to see Garden State on Saturday. I was hoping it would live up to the hype, and in my opinion, it sure did. Zach Braff has crafted a fine little movie here, and having Natalie Portman play his love interest was the best choice he could have made. She perfectly portrays the kind of girl you want to just settle down with, and according to Ben (who'd seen it a week earlier), he had to keep from drooling too much. There are some uncomfortable scenes with drug use and the like, and it is a slightly offbeat movie, but I wholeheartedly recommend it. There may even be a new grouping of films for me: slightly weird, off-kilter, modern little tales that try to explain life, love, and how to get through it all. One of these is definitely Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Garden State is another.

And on a final note, it was cool getting to hang out with the aforementioned Ben, as well as getting to chat with Sarah H. while they were both in town. I can handle that.
