    070. My last text message was to Colin, about how I was having coffee and reading about the iPod because I’m trying to unsuccessfully convert to Mac.

    And track 9 is Strip My Mind. <333 Stadium Arcadium.

    And of course Lost. I think next year, we should have Lost parties now that I’ve gotten Colin fully addicted. We can dress up like movie stars who are pretend-stranded on an island so they really look exactly the same as when they crashed. Seriously.

  5. Nicole says:

    Awww, that scene from Crash made me cry too, and I don’t normally cry during movies.

    i read all of that. i guess it’s part of my summer frivolity.

    053. Time you cried? probably when watching the movie crash when the little girl jumps into her dad’s arms right as the gun is fired and she isn’t hurt. if you have kids, you can’t watch that scene and not feel it.

    i don’t have kids, and not planning to have any anytime soon, but i felt emotional too every time (i saw the movie three times already)

  7. Christina says:
