Alacrity

Where you from?
I'm from Iowa.
I was in Atlanta once.
Iowa's not in the south. You know that, right?
No, I didn't.

As part of my week-without-cable/watching-DVDs-from-the-library extravanganza, I just enjoyed Sidewalks of New York. I'm still in love with Garden State, but I really enjoyed this movie. One, for Rosario Dawson and Heather Graham and a fun mish-mash of recognizable, b-list faces; two, for David Krumholtz singing a Pete Yorn song (I rediscovered his album recently); and three, for the reference (above) to Iowa (I feel like I'm in an exclusive "I know where Iowa is" club). Why do I have this obsession with anything that's exclusive? Maybe it's a middle child thing, to want to be unique. But this is about the movie, not my fixations. Good movie.
