People, the new Zach Braff is coming out next weekend. Is there anything better than "the new Zach Braff," with maybe the exception of "the new Zach Braff and its accompanying soundtrack?" The Braff should win another Grammy for what he's done for The Last Kiss soundtrack, and I know my good friend Tankboy will agree with me since his good friend Rachael Yamagata is included on the soundtrack.

She's damn near included on everyone's soundtrack these days, I know, but she's that good. I sat next to her at Tankboy's birthday party last year. I wouldn't have known that right away had my friend not said, "Hey! Isn't that Rachael Yamagata?" And it was. And she's just as lovely in person.

So the new Zach Braff. It's about choices and, I think, change. The tag asks, "We all make choices. What's yours?" I love that. I'm a sucker, I know, but I do. My life is all about choices these days. Big choices. Big change. Some good, some bad, some outrageously amazing. Others so gut-wrenching that it's a wonder I can sit upright. One of those choices, interestingly enough, brings about some pretty big changes:

I've got a new job. With a newspaper. Here in town.

More when I return from my weekend.
