but the ubiquitous song Hey There Delilah really gets to me. When it first started playing on the radio, I would sometimes change the channel just because it's repetitive and kind of boring. But at some point I joined the leagues of girls across the land in feeling my heart break every time I hear this...
Hey there Delilah I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
...and this...
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
...and wishing someone had written this song for me, you know? Doesn't it just make you wanna weep and smile at the same time? I'm just a girl.

Quick media update...
While in HK, saw "My Blueberry Nights." Don't waste your time. I don't have a problem with slow moodiness. The theme is unoriginal (girl finding herself through travels around the country and meeting new people). It is narrated by the girl (Norah Jones), saying really cliche things. That sums up its badness.
Also rented Hairspray and Fracture while in HK. Both were good. Hairspray had so many people I didn't know were in it. Such as Cyclops (uh, X-Men), who I thought was awesome in it! He can really sing and act and dance. And Allison Janey, Britney Snow, Amanda Bines, and loads of other famous people were in it. Fracture... I like Ryan Gosling.
Read "Eat, Pray, Love" on both plane rides (Read Eat one way, and the rest the other way). The Eat and Love parts were great. She's a great writer. I read about 20 pages into the Pray part and had to skip ahead. The Pray part is also the shortest, makes me think she ran out of things to say in that section and had to add filler, because it was much more boring than the other two parts.
