All Roads Lead to Akron

I was in the middle of this fantastic blog - it was all written and everything, when I found out something startling: Jim Jarmusch, the director of Broken Flowers, the movie that I just saw, is from AKRON.

Also, The Dead Next Door, an Akron classic. I've always wanted to live in a town that a zombie movie is based on.

The home of Goodyear and Firestone, my friend Pete tells me. If I have a blowout, I guess I'm covered.

And, of course, there's this, which my coworker Julie sent to me tonight. I don't really know what to say about it. Really, what can be said? I've always wanted to be a hard core hobbiest.

So, in conclusion, Broken Flowers is a beautifully shot, intelligent, funny, meaningful movie that everyone should see.

And if I move to Akron, I may never be able to leave. With that, I'm going to bed.
