New Headgear Trend

New Headgear Trend

I’ll have to keep my eye out and my cellphone camera set up for next time I see this.  Last night, we saw a guy walking down the street wearing what looked like a piece of t-shirt just put on top of his head.  This morning, I saw a more elaborate version, which involved the sleeves being used to tie in the back, plus a jaunty little rubber band to hold it on.  I can’t wait to see what alternate use these guys come up with for actual hats.

Garden State

I am writing this mere minutes after having finished watching this movie.  IMHO, everyone should see it.  It is a well-acted, well-crafted movie that has a message without being preachy, reaches emotional levels that are rare in most commercial films, and is thoroughly enjoyable.  After our only experience with Natalie Portman being her portrayal of Queen Amidala, we were surprised to see that she had so much talent.  And Zach Braff was amazing.  It’s always good to see people who look like real people in movies nowadays, but throw in the benefit that he developed and grew a character, filled it out and made it real – it was wonderful.  I’m not going to give a plot synopsis.  For that, we have IMDB.com.  Just get it and watch it.  I’m thinking that, despite the presence of a couple of age-inappropriate scenes, I’m going to show it to the daughters.  It’s that good.
