(no subject)
I just watched The Squid and The Whale. I do not know what to make of this film. It is well-acted and written, I guess...but seriously, I don't think I've ever watched a movie more disheartened and completely unwilling to watch the movie again. I mean...I just didn't see any point or payoff or anything. Nothing wrong with it, really (although someone gets away with passing off "Hey You" by Pink Floyd as their own which strains credulity to say the least)--I just really didn't find anything likable in it. At all.
This evening I picked my sister up from her End Of Year Dance--just being near caused Flashbacks and Waves of Awkwardness from Middle School Dances Past, but that's to be expected. As I drove her two of her friends back home, where Zoë was having a party, her two friends were sobbing the whole way because they were leaving Pine Point for Williams. And it just made me feel...empty, because I couldn't summon that sort of emotion when I was leaving Drew (although, to be fair, I doubt it would be safe crossing the George Washington if I couldn't see), much less when I left Williams or Wheeler. It's not really the same thing, of course, but still, I couldn't say when I was ever as overcome as they seemed to be. Zoë, of course, was joking and sympathizing her best to cheer them up...she's just like that. I dunno. Pro'lly an agegender thing. Just was odd to see.
Anyway, long story short I leave for Williamstown tomorrow...so that's clearly exciting! Yay! This entry doesn't say much, but Yay anyway.
