Last night we watched Donnie Darko. I didn't love it. I thought it was trying to be too many different kinds of movies and the ending was really unsatisfying. The tall freaky whispering rabbit of death really creeped me the hell out. Jake Gyllenhaal was very good, though - but his performance wasn't enough to save the movie for me as a whole.

We also watched about half of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which we've owned since it came out on DVD but never viewed. I fell asleep sometime after Justin was found petrified, but not from lack of enjoyment - maybe the incredibly full weekend had something to do with it? I love when Malfoy says to Goyle, "I didn't know you could read!"

Five more episodes of Coupling further cemented my love for the show. My one complaint about the five that we watched? Not enough Jeff! Jeff needs his own show.

No matter what this may make anyone may think of me - I believe that the Silly Songs With Larry CD is a fine musical compilation. I think very highly of anyone who enjoys Oh Where Is My Hairbrush? as much as Elizabeth and I did this fine evening, speeding down 95 at 1 AM and singing it at the top of our lungs. Even more fun, however, are The Dance of the Cucumber (translated by Bob the Tomato from the original Spanish) and the not seasonal but oh-so-fun O Santa! (with guest appearances by a crafty bank robber, a savage Norseman, and the IRS).

(Also on the playlist this evening: my fab-you-lous "Fun Songs" mix, featuring classic tunes like Copacabana, Istanbul Not Constantinople, Don't Try To Live Your Life In One Day, Express Yourself, and my all-time favorite song, Just Like Heaven; also a brief appearance by Kasey Chambers.)
