today i really got in the mood to watch high fidelity... i put it in, but remembered i had an episode of gilmore girls to watch - so i ended up watching it instead... alyssa and i had decided to do something tonight, and i wanted to do something cheap... and erin and shelley decided to come along, too... so we went to alyssa's and watched one episode of undeclared... i wanted to see alyssa's reaction to this one episode that is hilarious to me... and then we walked to nw 23rd (one of my favorite streets in the world) and got pizza... we sat outside, ate our pizza and laughed... at one point we were all singing some song and there was a guy totally watching us... i saw him and he saw me... and he acted like he was holding a movie camera... it was pretty funny... especially since no one else saw him until he was about to walk away...
then we went to starbucks and went to this shop and went back to alyssa's... we decided to watch high fidelity (which made me happy)... i haven't seen it in several months and i was looking forward to watching it again... i think i realized tonight that it makes me feel normal... i love the dialogue... the story... everything... it's definitely one of my favorites... i just love it...
i was going to put some of my favorite quotes - the top 5 to be festive... i had a really hard time... there are so many i love... but i'm going to give it a shot... in no particular order...
Barry: I wanna date a musician.
Rob: I wanna live with a musician. She'd write songs at home and ask me what I thought of them, and maybe even include one of our little private jokes in the liner notes.
Barry: Maybe a little picture of me in the liner notes.
Dick: Just in the background somewhere.
Rob: The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. Anyway... I've started to make a tape... in my head... for Laura. Full of stuff she likes. Full of stuff that make her happy. For the first time I can sort of see how that is done.
Rob: If you *really* wanted to screw me up, you should've gotten to me earlier.
Customer: Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthday.
Barry: Yea we have it.
Customer: Well, can I have it?
Barry: No, actually, you can't.
Customer: Why not?
Barry: God. Do you even know your daughter? There's no way she likes that song. Oops, is she in a coma?
Rob: What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
and one more - consider it a bonus... it wasn't listed on imdb, but i loved it...
Rob: A while back, Dick, Barry and I agreed that what really matters is what you like, not what you are like. Books, records, films - these things matter. Call me shallow. It's the truth. And by this measure, I was having one of the best dates of my life.
