sometimes you gotta say there ain't no motherfuckin' way

I'm listening to the new Grandaddy EP, "Diary of Toddzilla" and it's pretty freaky good. A little bit of different and a little bit of the same and 100 percent norcal-valley-flatlands-meets-the-universe.

Also, last night we went to see Me and You and Everyone We Know and I really liked it - even with all of its discomfiting, squirmy moments. The film was impressively written and directed by Miranda July. It reminded me a lot of Lovely & Amazing in that it was this quiet and sad but still very funny film about people trying to make tangible, emotional connections with one another. It was precisely the kind of film I needed to see on a muggy July night in which I was beginning to lose faith in the general goodness of people.

I particularly like this Grandaddy lyric from the song "Pull the Curtains":

Pull the curtains on the night
sometimes it isn't worth the fight
Sometimes you gotta turn it off and you gotta walk away
And sometimes you gotta say this is gonna be the day
...Sometimes you gotta say there ain't no motherfuckin' way

Simple but true, these are words to live by my friends, words to live by....
