(not a review)

i can't review the two movies i saw this weekend, because, well, i just can't. i will tell you that the horror flick that i convinced and then dragged my friends to on friday night was exactly what i wanted. well, almost. it lacked a certain thrill factor that i was craving. it had the blood and the scary eyed zombies, it even had some bad-ass car crashes. but dawn of the dead just didn't live up to my zombie movie expectations. i knew going into it that it wouldn't be as good as 28 days later, i knew this, yet i still partially believed that i might jump at every small glance i had of the "deadish" creatures. there was comedy though, which always helps. one guy was freaking hilarious. while another was really horrible. when the 4 abandoned stars finally reach the mall this security dick holds them hostage instead of having them all work together and figure out a plan. is that really what people might be like lest the dead walk the earth? i think that was the truly scary part. that and sitting on the second row. at the bridge.

then there was ESSM. a beautifully directed, acted and shot film. once again, mr. kaufman amazes. erasure. i spent most of the movie just trying to wrap my head around the idea of this possibility. that and the thought that maybe people would erase their old loves, their friends, maybe even their families. was someone wishing that they could erase me? i watched it with childish wonderment. wanting to know jim carrey. not as his pathetic whiney joel, but as jim carrey. he's fucking brilliant. and i swear kate has done an american accent before. i just swear it. but over crepes, post movie, i couldn't think of a single movie she had done non-british. matt says he didn't think there was a bigger message. but that's all i saw--the bigger message. no matter how much it hurts, you can't rid of your memories. you take the good with the bad and that's what makes us who we are.

(the d.a.)

i'm not usually a fan of the crime/law-dramas on television. in fact i watch very little t.v. the apprentice is my favorite right now. and america's next top model ain't bad either. but while watching the green mile on abc the other night (btw, thank you abc for showing me a movie i always sorta wanted to see, but would never rent) there was an ad at every break for this new show, the d.a. and surprisingly, i'm interested. i want to see this new steven webber show. with sarah paulson and the girl from sports night. i want to see how they prosecute in los angeles. i want to see crime.

there's only one catch. it's on friday nights. and that's just no good for me. what were they thinking?

(london)

i leave for london in two weeks. though almost all of my original reasons and plans for this trip have changed, i'm surprisingly okay. a little sad that i won't be seeing someone i thought i would. and still a little bummed that my crazy girlfriend won't be there to go "clubbing" with. but shit man, it's fucking london.

what i need is an idea of places to go. things to do. shit to see. so, if you've ever been or maybe you just saw agent cody banks 2, please tell me how i should spend what will hopefully be 14 of the most amazing days of my life.

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

(going bald)

i feel like i'm losing friends. i've been here three years and i've managed to make some really kick ass friends. but in the past four months or so i've managed to alienate two of the best ones. now i'm walking on eggshells around the few i've yet to "hurt" or "take advantage of". talk about depressing. i've resigned to letting one completely go. telling myself it truly wasn't my fault. that they're just too sensitive. but now, now that there's a second one, i'm kind of concerned. maybe it is me. maybe i'm not as good of a friend as i thought i was.

i don't know. there doesn't seem to be anything i can do. just make new friends and try not to drive them away. maybe i need to read that book about winning and influencing. or maybe i should just retreat. if i'm not trying then i can't really lose, right?

i have a few left. really good ones. but the numbers have drastically dropped. but like someone once said: "i'd rather be loved by a few than liked by many."

(the bane of mail)

alright, i used to be a bit of a tattle when i was young-er, but i'd like to think that i've come a long way. turns out...i haven't. i share the duty of picking up and distributing mail (a task that makes me feel useless and used) with three other girls in the office. but often times they "forget" that it's their day and i, like the nerd that i am, will do it for them. but today, i had enough. it took me 45 minutes on monday to distribute the mail. a big chunk of my time wasted. so today, when it was 5pm and no one had done the mail, i tattled.

stupid heads got an email. a stern one. i hope they learn their lesson.

i also hope they don't give me a wedgie.

(a birthday)

i had a really great birthday. i'll kick off my thanks to my mom, who drove 2 days just to be with me and to tell me that it'll all be okay. much needed. much. then there's my brother. you freaking rock. and not just the ordinary rock. the "super duper kick ass you're the best brother in the world" rock. i love you. and all the friends--this would include ashley (though you drive me insane), raf, summer, ben, eli, lex, steve, kevin, todd, brian (short but sweet), ali, and all the rest--even the ones i didn't know- who made my party...a P-A-R-T-Y! and last but certainly not least (but obviously he doesn't feel this is true), kenneth bodden. thank you. thank you for the keg, and the bong, and the drinking games. thank you for taking time out of your life for me. thank you for all that you do. thank you.
