Carols paperwork. So eloquent.

Roommate Carol rocking out in her hospital gown, on her gurney…normal.

after a discussion of how things will go at my wedding in terms of his love life...

Sean: plus the ladies love me

Sarah: well that's true

Sean: something about my boyish, asshole, funny, cocky, self depricating, relaxed ways

Sarah: that is the best description of you i've ever heard

Sean: deprecatoing

Sean: shoot

Sean: deprecating

Sean: my fingers move faster then my brain

Sarah: hahaha

Sean: yeah it was pretty good

Sean: just know this. after i typed that i went into a word doc and typed in deprecating and spelled it correctly there.

Sarah: ha!

Sarah: i am so proud

click on the picture, above, and check out a gallery of pictures from my friend aaron's picasa album of the diamond notch trail in the catskills. check out his other photos as well, if you get a chance; he has a great eye for this stuff. hey archie, wanna be the photog for our wedding? just kidding...kind of.

saw this movie this weekend with fianz and beth. it was horribly sad and, considering the subject matter, horribly beautiful. i walked in with roger ebert's review ringing in my ears, but walked away thinking he couldn't have possibly watched the whole movie--or, if he did, confused as to how he could have possibly misunderstood it to the extent that he must have. it comes highly recommended; but take beth's advice and employ the "buddy system." this is not a "see it on your own" kind of movie. if nothing else, you'll need somebody with you to hear all of the things you'll have to say once it's over. more importantly, and i challenge anybody to feel differently: you will walk out completely expecting stanley tucci with a gross blonde hairdo to come out of the shadows and try to lure you into an underground cave.

either way, i say: see it. and then avoid going into your basement to wash your laundry for the next two weeks.

this song really struck me today; reading about haiti, feeling helpless, beautiful harmonies and sad lyrics seemed fitting:

like soldiers, march on
if we can make it through tonight we'll see the sun
march on, march on

till we see the sun, march on, till we see the sun
through the good times, through the bad times
through the long days, through the hard nights
keep on, till we see the sun

like soldiers, march on
if we can make it through tonight we'll see the sun
march on, march on

like soldiers, march on
if we can make it through tonight we'll see the sun
march on, march on

even when there's no one there for you, march on
even when the days are long for you, march on
and like soldiers, march on...

Oh my goodness! Waiting at an intersection right next to another
Suzuki Verona! I cant believe it!

Looks like springtime in the 906*!

*"the 906" is the way SUPER nerdy people refer to the east side of providence (zip code: 02906)

RedRumCroW: last night i left my apt, in the freezing temp to get a bag of M&Ms

watchthesky84: that sounds like something i'd do

RedRumCroW: really weird for me thoguh

RedRumCroW: i don't really eat can't esp not boring m&ms

watchthesky84: yeah, for real

watchthesky84: also, i would like to note that i know you so well, that i translated that last IM without any trouble

RedRumCroW: HAHAHAHAHAH

RedRumCroW: wow

RedRumCroW: i don't really eat candy esp not boring m&ms

watchthesky84: yeah
watchthesky84: only once in a while do i read something you say and have literally no idea what you mean. not like in college

true story: i used to edit sean's papers in college before he handed them in, and at least once per paper i'd find a sentence and have absolutely no clue what he was trying to say. it was like he'd reached into a package of magnetic poetry, pulled out a handful, and put it in a line without any rhyme or reason. he's gotten much better.

Birthday flowers from my cousin Sheila :)

True love

Hermione missed her dad today

Hermione is very interested in watching tv tonight

Getting Regan's bridesmaid dress! Eee!

really digging this song today

do want/need

FYI

Not sure if you can tell, but those are three perfect snowflakes that flew into fianz's car and onto his dash yesterday morning. Just made me think of this scene from an episode of friends where Joey is trying to say some girl is unlike any other girl he's ever met..."Like a snowflake, or..." and Monica says "...something ELSE, like a snowflake?"

i promise i'll stop with this movie sometime soon

but seriously, this is my new favorite scene in a movie, ever:

Bonnie Hunt: So, what is this? A genetic thing? Men will say anything just to get laid?

Robert Downey, Jr: No! Not fair. Ok? A: I didn't get laid. B: The reality is, some metaphysical wires got crossed in my--

BH: Ugh.

RDJ: No! I don't have the right name, but I am the guy. I was there, I know it. Please, do not let her go.

BH: Well, she's going, and she's going to marry the podiatrist.

RDJ: Podiatrist?

BH: Yeah.

RDJ: Oh, that's--deep.

BH: How could you lie to her like that? What is that?

RDJ: It was an emergency. Ok? I literally had to. It was the only way to stop her. I knew that if I didn't, I would never see her again. Ok?

BH: Yeah, well. A lie's a lie.

RDJ: Will you--please, please! Please? Will you sit down? For one second? Please?

[BH sits]

RDJ: Thank you. [stands, backs away.] I am not ‘supposed’ to be in Rome. I'm supposed to be in Boston, leading a really boring life... working my can off for my boss so he can spend half the day in the gym...but I'm here. And he was not supposed to get measles—Measles! At 43 years of age! But he did. So they sent me. Alright? The guy who's never been anywhere except, maybe, like, Mazatlán, y’know, for spring break. And! Someone gave me a little Italian phrase book, like, y’know, the week before I left. And I was not supposed to be in the piazza that night... but I was. I went to see a movie...but in my opinion, Woody Allen is not funny when it's dubbed in Italian...so I left. And I was just, y’know, wandering, I was wandering, I was wandering...And then, [gestures] bang, someone bumped into me. [walks over, kneels in front of BH] And then I saw her. I looked into her eyes and--Wow, something happened. Something that's never happened to me before. Something so...familiar

BH: Mania?

RDJ: Whatever. She fell in love with me, too, by the way. Ok? I said, please, God, please, give me a sign, give me some way of making sure that this woman does not get into that cab and disappear from my life forever...She's the one." [pause] And He did. 'Cause she told me the name—granted, it wasn't my name, but, y’know, it was a start. If that's not destiny...then I don't know...anything.

BH: That's really romantic. [long pause]Is it a lie?

RDJ: Agh! Come on! It is a name, for Christ's sake. This whole thing is so ludicrous—you know it! You know she's out of her mind, she’s chasing some guy around. This guy, by the way, could happen to be the biggest loser to ever walk the face of the Earth. He could be a grump, a jerk a pervert, a cynic, some guy whose mind is infested with dark thoughts, he could be a criminal, he could be...truly sick. [pause] Realistically? Like, what are the odds that he's like, some...extra...super...double-terrific guy?

BH: [smiles] Ten billion to one?

RDJ: Exactly. Do I have an ally?

:::edit:::

would like to note here that i sort of have never really bought, or even been into movies about "love at first sight," and as such, that is not why i like this scene so much, it's just the delivery and the seth cohen-ness of it all.

:::edit 2:::

ha! see it, here! (the first line or so is cut off, but whatever) it's only about the first 3 minutes, don't bother watching the whole thing. or any of it, i guess, if you don't want to. haha =)

bff jamie and i have been discussing our top 5 lists for the last day or so--male and female. things that have been decided:

(1) the jonas brothers do not count as three, they count as one
(2) we have the same taste in men. AND in women!
(3) it's possible we need to reevaluate and go for top 10s instead of top 5s.

anyway, captured above in my second favorite scene from a newly discovered guilty pleasure movie are samples--one from each of my lists.

hearts.

Truth: this place exists

(not sure if you can tell, bit it's totally decked out in coca cola
stuff. Even the salt and pepper shakers. Nutso!)
