Sandi, I was saying that I'm planning on going to Paris on my own for my birthday, which is in July. I know it's a crazy thing to do, and I don't think my parents will like the idea that much, but I really want to do this. Maybe they'll end up coming with me. I need 1000 euros or more until July... I think I'm gonna start working for my father, or maybe find a job somewhere else. I was thinking about asking the video store person if they needed anyone on a part-time schedule. Working in a video store would be bliss. Maybe I'd meet another movie-nerd and we'd live happily ever after. And then again maybe not.
And I still can't answer the comments on this thing. Which is weird.
I was watching Tiptoes this morning and it struck me how boring the movie was. The only reason I rented it was because of Gary Oldman, which is always a good excuse, but even Gary Oldman seemed... different. Well, he always looks different, but you know. It was a nice movie, I'm not saying it wasn't, I liked how it talked about little people so naturally and how it showed everyone that they're just like everyone else, with the same sort of problems, and it didn't focus those subjects in a prejudiced way or in a way to force us to pity them, like The Station did. It was cute. But the story had power to be a little stronger. And Matthew McConaghey or whatever is a terrible actor. He annoys the hell out of me. For no logical reason, really, he just... does.
