I finally did it...

I saw Donnie Darko. If I had a dollar for every person who told me I should see it...

Anyhow, it was at The Enzian for $5 earlier this evening. I am tired so I don't have that much to say about it right now. I can say, however, that I no longer hate Gary Jules' version of "Mad World" anymore. I always thought it was overrated. I still like the original best, though I don't mind the slower pace...never did. Roland and Curt have even begun performing it slower when they play live, like Gary Jules' version. It was always the voice that bothered me. Too wavery and weak, I think. Maybe now I can say creepy? Haunting? I am glad I can be open-minded enough to judge the same song in different context, with different eyes, for a reinterpretation. I think it is wonderful what music can do.

I have been meaning to call you- in the interest of "getting back to normal" I am having a PartyLite party on Friday (7pm) and was wondering if you would like to come? They have some new things out- new scents of candles as well as new candle holders. I couldn't recall what your schedule is with work on Friday nights, but it would be nice to see you if you can come.

(Oh and it's a different PL gal, so it should be a good show.)

I work til 7:30, though if I keep getting Vista calls where the new OS will not work, like tonight, I might feasably get out much later. I could try to have Chas bring your stuff when he picks me up and then drop me off there when I am off.

Okay, well, it would be lovely to see you and we should have some yummy food too. If you can swing by, that would be great. Obviously, I know that sometimes plans don't quite work out so perfectly, but if things fall into place, please do come!

Can you call me that day to remind me, or email? I have a doctor appointment tomorrow and may get on drugs that may alter my mental state. :P
