Each weekend, I post a readable, a watchable, and a listenable of which I'm fond. You can choose what happens next. Earlier volumes can be found here.

A tumblr. site I delight in is Fake Science. It's tagline is "For When The Facts Are Too Confusing." If only these posters had been hanging in the halls of Bagley Elementary School. I would have dreamed of becoming a physicist rather than a party planner.
Watch
A great DVD pick for those lamenting love or celebrating love. I'm in one of the above moods today. 500 Days of Summer is the tale of one guy's memory-driven look at a failed relationship. I promise that's not a spoiler. They tell you in the first 5 minutes, it's not a love story. But it really is. But it's not. P.S. Superduper soundtrack.
Listen
Sometimes iTunes gets it right. When I purchased music by Shawn Colvin many moons ago, it thought I might like Mindy Smith. And I did. And I do. This is her cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene, with Dolly making an appearance. Her non-covers are also worth a listen.

Oh how I love 500 Days of Summer
ReplyDeleteLove that movie ... just watched it yet again the other day. I especially love the "Enchanted"-esque scene with him dancing in the park.
ReplyDeleteK: I was surprised how much I loved it!
ReplyDeleteMD: Me too - it made me fall for Joseph Gordon-Levitt again (3rd Rock flashback.)
