Alright you Freshman Bitches!

For those of you NOT in Washington today, you are truly missing one of the greatest things about this town...the randomly unseasonable weather we occasionally get this time of year. It's sunny, breezy and about 75 degrees and I couldn't have a worse case of spring fever right now if I wanted to. Of course, this has set my mind wandering back to my favorite film rite-of-spring, Dazed and Confused.

I love this film. It's in my top 10 personal favorites list (a list I will work to publish here sometime in the future). It's got well-known actors prior to their "big breaks," funny dialogue, quotable lines and not one but TWO count 'em TWO awesome soundtracks (Any soundtrack featuring "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Croft automatically gets the "awesome" tag, FYI). There are hot guys for the girls, hot girls for the guys and vice versa for all my gay friends. Additionally, it is set in the 70's with prodigious displays of 70's men's fashion. Ben Affleck also gets a bucket of paint dumped on his head, and young Mitchy gets drunk, high and makes out with an "older girl" all on the eve of his high school career. It's a glorious ode to summer, and one which makes me wish I had a "party at the moontower" to attend this evening.

I'd also like to note here that for the record, in high school I was very much like the red-headed nerdy girl who ends up getting hit on by a skeevy Matthew McConaughey. Except I didn't have a car.
