Awesome Thing #2

Garden State is probably my favorite movie. I can see it almost as an updated version of The Graduate, but also completely different. It is an independent film that developed a pretty significant following. I searched for my favorite scene on youtube, but couldn't find it.

No one had uploaded the scene in front of the fireplace that ends with the perfect improv of Natalie Portman tap dancing. So I did it myself. This is Awesome thing #2, the Garden State Fireplace scene. There is a simple perfection that makes this scene a turning point in the movie. I hope you enjoy it, because this might be my favorite scene of any movie--and I have seen a lot.

Awesome Thing #1

Since I usually don't have anything to ramble on about on this site, I decided I would fill the blog with random things I think are awesome. These "Awesome things" will appear in no order, and will be focused at taking your attention away from the fact that I don't actually have anything to write about. The first awesome thing is Subway's Italian BMT sandwich. This is a great sandwich and is currently on the 5$ menu along with the rest of Subway's sandwiches. Subway describes this sandwich as "An old-world favorite. Sliced Genoa salami, pepperoni and ham and your choice of fresh vegetables and condiments served on freshly baked bread. Some say BMT stands for biggest, meatiest, tastiest. We wouldn’t disagree." I describe it as tasty and delicious. I liked the sandwich so much that I went to Hy-Vee and bought the meats so I could make it at home. That was a great decision on my part. I actually ended up really sad when I ran out of bread because I still had a lot of meat left, but couldn't continue to make the sandwich until I got more bread. No worries, I got more bread. So congratulations Mr. Italian BMT, you are Awesome Thing #1.
