I think I've just had one of the best day. Ever.
First of all, my tax return came early (and I know that I'm also getting that stimulus check anytime now...) so I've been pretty fit as far as having some extra cash on hand.
With that in mind, I decided to splash out a little and dine out whenever I felt like it. So, sure, let's do breakfast drive-through at McDonald's. When I pulled up to the pay window, I was told to put away my money!
The man behind the window gave me this letter instead:
Apparently, this was a promotional thing for KTIS Radio, which, as it turns out, is a Christian radio station.
Speaking of letter, I got another letter in the mail when I got home. The letter was from Best Buy, sending me a $50 gift card for my poor choice in the high definition war by buying a HD Player addon for the Xbox 360.
I ended up using that money to buy some standard DVD :) (take that, expensive Bluray!)
I also picked up a few new CDs, including Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree, primarily for a decently priced ($17) deluxe package (includes extra DVD, handwritten lyric books, poster, postcards, etc). I am really impressed with the lyric book, it's not only handwritten, but there's random artwork by Alison. Who knew she's such a good artist?
The DVD is kind of disappointing, containing only a short documentary/interview and a video for A&E. Although, I have to say that Goldfrapp's always seem to really have an eye for good videos, and this one is no exception.

This movie, along with Happiness of the Katakuris, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Leon the Professional, Run Lola Run, Rushmore, Super Ninjas (I love Venoms!!!!!!!!!), The Princess and the Warrior, Zatoichi #1-27, are in my little exclusive list of movies I can watch over and over again.
So anyway, there is a scene in the movie, where Ewan is going into a coma and this beautiful song is playing.
Some random fact #1: Kirsty MacColl re-recorded this song, but she turned it into a duet.
Random fact #2: Danny Boyle wanted to use Blondie's "Atomic", but the record company wanted too much money for license. So he got the next best thing, he got Sleeper to record a cover version of it.
Random fact #3: The original Trainspotting soundtrack was so successful, that they released a second soundtrack!
Random fact #4: The drug dealer at the end of this movie, he was supposed to be the flatmate that's introduced in "Shallow Grave".
