So this is the new year?

My apologies for not being around much, I've been struggling with a few things lately. But yes, it's 2010 now and hopefully it holds as much promise as 2009 seemed to. :P

I don't have much to really write here, I've mainly just been writing novel-length daily journal entries about nothing. But I figure I'll at least acknowledge the new year, and my decent beginning to it...

Yesterday morning I went up to the store to spend two gift cards I'd received, one for $30, the other for $10. I picked up a few movies and my total was $51.98, so I handed the cashier the $30 card and she scanned it and axed it, then I handed her the $10 one and she scanned it, and then handed it and my reciept to me saying that I have $18.02 left on it... To which I sputtered out in disbelief a thank you and have a nice day... So yes, I'm hoping all of 2010 works out this nicely! :)

I'll close with a few random recommendations and such that I've been into lately:

Music:
.moneen.
Moving Mountains
A Sound Mind
30 Seconds to Mars

And then of course:

:D

Movies:
Chasing Amy - Yes, I bought Kevin Smith's ace rom-com again, but on Blu-ray and it still pulls my heart strings
District 9 - A brilliant movie, beautiful cinematography, amazing acting and a great story
Iron Man - Come on, It's awesome, especially on Blu-ray
Inglourious Basterds - Quentin Tarantino's newest masterpiece. Perfect casting, perfect performances and overall great movie
Donnie Darko - a fucked up movie, but sooooooo good!
The Hangover - A gift from the Greek God of humor, yes, Hystericules himself. Ok, not really, but it's a blast.
Road House - The late, great Patrick Swayze as a yoga-doing, country livin', super bad-ass... So basically himself, IF he was a bouncer/cooler at a bar... He rips a dude's throat out for crying out loud!
And finally:
(500) Days of Summer - Great romantic comedy, hit pretty close to home with me, but still a wonderful film. It also helps that I have a little crush on Zooey Deschanel, who is married to the vocalist/writer of Death Cab For Cutie who does the opening video in this post, Ben Gibbard. They really are a super adorable couple. :)

Eat, drink, and be merry my friends,
Geoff!
