Current music: Hold On To Me, by Courtney Love.

I'm not having a special weekend. That's one of the consecuences of having my routine back. Yesterday I went to see Garden State. Yeah, I know it came out months ago, but you know Spain is different. lol. Anyway, I won't start my comment talking about its soundtrack, because I'm a little tired of hearing about it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it and I want to buy it, but it gets a little annoying when you read 17645 reviews mentioning this fact. lol. Anyway. Everything in this movie worked perfectly. It reminded me to the marvelous Lost In Translation: you can relate to their characters, both have a lot of dialogue and include a not very common love story. Natalie Portman was absolutely incredible. I loved every single second of her performance. Zach was fantastic, too. I think he's attractive in an odd way. I mean, he isn't your Hollywood-standard type of guy, but he's got something. I don't know, perhaps it's just that I've always had a thing for guys that seem to be shy, nerdy and/or weird. lol. I love Peter Sarsgaard. He's a chameleon. He has several upcoming films that look promising. I can't wait for Sam Mendes' Jarhead. I hope he gest the attention he deserves for this one.

I was in a great mood after seeing this movie, so I thought a little shopping wouldn't hurt. lol. I went to Fnac and got Aimee Mann's Live at St. Ann's Warehouse live CD/DVD. It's fantastic. It's surprising and refreshing to see an innocent-looking woman in her 40's swearing like a sailor. lol. It's also great to see extra content on a music DVD. I adore her since I saw Magnolia, over five years ago. I'm really looking forward for her next album. It's called The Forgotten Arm, and it's coming out next month. ^^

Today wasn't that special either. I've been listening to some albums [Aimee's live CD, Meredith Brooks' Bad Bad One, Courtney's America's Sweethart] and I rented a movie, Secretary, which is really good [and weird] Maggie Gyllenhaal is terrific!!! She's got four movies coming out this year, including Don Roos' Happy Endings, which I can't wait to see, and Bart Freundlich's Trust the Man. James Spader also does a really good performance, and he's one of the most attractive 40-agers out there. And judging from Maggie's bruises, he's really good at spanking. lol.

Her name's Maggie Gyllenhaal, and she's going to be a star

Good luck exploring the infinite abyss,
