"if you start out depressed everything's kind of a pleasant surprise"

Word to the wise, if you're in a funk - in a sort of depressed, self-loathing mood, "Say Anything..." is probably not the best film to watch to help bolster your spirits. Maybe it's just because I can relate to everything in that film - timeframe, relationship, etc - but it always "gets" me. Always.

After watching the ten different versions of the landmark boom box scene that are on the new DVD, though, I'm convinced that Crowe chose the wrong one. There's a version where Lloyd doesn't hold the boombox over his head. Instead he sits next to it on the hood of the car. I think that not only is it less cheesy, but it's also much more powerful.

We saw "say anything" just the other day in a hotel in Hanoi. It's strange the parallels even from here.

Good lordy. I'm certainly not the one to ask, jm. I tend to go through those sort of jags every couple of months. I usually just force myself to get out of the house and schelp about the city. Oh, and buy things. That always helps me. Be good to yourself. That's the key when ya feel like that, in my experience.

But, then again, I'm an idiot...
