i summon you here

dude! spoon on veronica mars! singing an elvis costello song! i love you veronica mars. i admit i have not been watching much, and last week when i caught the show i was so far behind i was actually confused and had to go to television without pity to catch up. now that i'm back in the loop i can't remember why i stopped watching. i think that month i spent moving threw me off. that, and all the law & order reruns. i'm just glad i rediscovered the show.

went and saw capote today rather than watch too much football (and my home team lose). i thought the theater would be a lot more quiet, seeing as it was the sooperbowl, but i think there were a lot of people here who didn't care. after all, the kids in colorado love the broncos, and since they weren't playing there wasn't much incentive to watch. the film was really good. depressing, but great. not as bad as the weatherman (which makes you want to seek out sharp things for poking into the soft fleshy parts of yourself), but sad nonetheless. i love capote's writing, so it was fun to see philip seymour hoffman play him. he got the voice just right, and even though he's a big guy (much bigger than capote, although i'm also bigger than he is), he never looked excessively big. well, his hands are a bit like sausages (hey! mine too!), but what could you do about that? i also loved catherine keener. she was amazing as harper lee. if you like capote's writing, then you'll like the film. also, i used too many parentheses. sorry about that.

veronica mars is cool and all, but I loves me some catherine keener. I was just talking about her last night while driving back from houston. she's so hot in the 40 year old virgin. yum!
