: movie mania
i saw Saved! tonight. Slightly niave and endearing and worth the movie price. everyone was really good at acting their roles, so that it almost felt like highschool which is surprising since i think the only actor close enough to actually be in high school was jena malone. i don't know though, even as i read the reviews, i still optimistically hoped for a smart and intellectually funny satire, and really they were just poking fun at religion. like a children's satire. not too much thinking involved.
keli and i have initiated a movie night, once a week... beginning next with the Stepford Wives and culminating with who knows what. I know i'm definitely making her watch certain fantastic movies such as
* Welcome to the Dollhouse
* Monty Python and the Holy Grail
* Empire Records
* Boondock Saints
* Dogma
* The Crow
* The Truth About Cats and Dogs
Does anyone have any suggestions. although i'm sure i will come up with more as the weeks go by. She's supposed to come up with a list as well. It'll be an interesting sort of meeting of the minds because everyone has different favorites. For instance, I absolutely died crying watching Love Actually, but she didn't really get a thing from it, or so she says.
One of the big movies I want to watch this summer is Secretary. Has anyone seen that?
Currently I'm reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance for like the 3rd time. :-) Love that book. I could I guess possibly credit it partially for ending my depression. The more I read of it, the more I remember of reading it the first time, and the reactions and feelings I felt. Yesterday for instance, I finally got to the point where we meet Phaedrus, and how his mind works, split from the authors. It's indescribable :-)
Works going pretty good I guess, but I really wish I didn't have to go all the time. Charles and I had a short conversation today about how all the people that work at this particular Target are part of the zombie parade and it's true. That was the first thing Dad and I noticed when we first visited the store. And I thought I was good by at least being lively most of the time, but according to Linette, a manager, however they measure the coolness that is Guest Services... it declined. I feel like I should quit now, because I'm obviously not doing any good at all. I mean, yes it's a job, shoot me, but it means a lot more than that. I take helping people to task quite literally, even if it's only the small shit that i can help them with.
Still unpacking from all the shit Mom decided to give me even though she doesn't like me.
Somethings I wish about myself could be different. And that's probably been my general attitude for a while now. I'm becoming more accepting of my faults (the real ones, not the ones i make up, which generally includes the fact that i guess i make up faults?) Anyway, not very confident at all. heh.
mmm i think i'm going to go to bed. i have to work at 3pm tomorrow, but I'm the exhausted girl.
