no one here can make a sound...

i forgot about Guster. they're playing now on my ipod. i'm glad my ipod reminded me about them. lol.

i went and saw The Curious Case of Benjiman Button last night. first...they had the coolest opening. you know how before the movie starts you see the production company and studios' logos? well for this one, it was Warner Brothers and Paramount, and both shots were made of all different buttons. i seriously freaked out. Sammi can confirm, she was sitting next to me.

as for the movie...i thought it was really good. i mean, it was definately not one of those pick me up kind of movies, but the story was great. heartbreaking. i wish i had cate blanchett's red hair. and it was so interesting how they put everything together. from my perspective, when brad pitt or cate had to look old they looked old. and when they had to look like they were 19 or 20, they did. it was crazy. as Sam said when brad appeared as a 20 year old, "oh...i forgot how hot brad pitt was when he was younger." and i loved the cinemotography. its kind of that soft, romantic look, like how Atonement was shot. plus the costumes were amazing. and the acting. overall, i'd said it deserves as many Oscar nods as it can get.

on a completely separated note...i'm starting to get insomnia again. i can't fall asleep when i go to bed. i just start thinking about all the italy stuff (which is a week away) and i start freaking out. not like, "oh, i'm not going to like it." or "i don't want to leave." i'm just worried about money, and what my apartment is going to be like, and if i'll get the schedule fixed. and all of that stress won't be relieved until i'm there, so i really need to quite worrying. easier said that done i guess...
