Kinda shoulda sorta
1. Easter week-end = hotel + gift shop-bought swimsuit + first barbecue of the season + walking across the railroad tracks at South Amboy.
2. If you aren't already all perky-chipper-spring-like, this will cheer you up to no end. (Trust me on this.)
3. I finally saw all of Seven Samurai the other night. I watched it once in college during a finals night and fell asleep somewhere in the recruitment process. Well, I was an idiot because it is an excellent film, and no one should ever have to fall asleep in the middle of watching Seven Samurai.
4. Tonight's dinner: Shrimp (It's amazing how quick you can cook shrimp. You just have to literally dip them in boiling water with a pinch of salt), and the eternal mushrooms with garlic and olive oil. For dessert, my co-worker Mahendran's (whose wonderful three-syllable Indian name with a rolling R has been shortened to the vanilla "Moe") chocolate bar from Germany. Mmmhmm. The Germans make pretty good chocolate.
5. It really is no wonder everyone's raving about the Postal Service. The wistful, sometimes dreamy music and electronic beats are oddly infectious in an endearing kind of way. "Sleeping In", my instant favorite, has a shameless 80's feel to it. Come to think of it, their synthesizer-infused music may very well be 80's-inspired. Although I am a staunch Death Cab for Cutie fan, I did try to be more objective, to no avail, as I am now in love with Postal Service as well.
{Sleeping In, Postal Service} - Don't wake me, I'm planning on sleeping in.
