[discoveries]

-several days can pass by without you really even noticing.

-i love having my sister home.

-no matter what day of the week it is, it's a pretty safe bet that a football game is on. and my sister's boyfriend can pick it out of hundreds of channels in just a few seconds. it's like gaydar for the straights. and while it may look like the very same game you've watched for the last five days in a row, it's really not.

-nyquil can kick your ass, make you pass out while reading a book or watching the family guy, and make you dream strange dreams about people you've never met or movies you've never seen.

-no matter how many times you watch garden state (3 times so far) you can still fall in love with natalie portman as if it's the first time every time.

-the first time since beautiful girls that is.

-brak season 1 will FINALLY be released on dvd in february, just in time for my birthday.

-no matter how much you want to spend new year's eve as a hermit, drinking a bottle of wine and watching garden state, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and random episodes of felicity, your cell phone that won't stop ringing, and your friends on the other end just won't let you.
