Chronicle, Halo Anniversary, and life
Tryin' to keep this short!
1.) I saw Chronicle on Saturday. IMO, it was a very well-done superhero origin story! Despite being a "found footage" story the camera work was steady and they were able to do some interesting camera angles and cuts, which I always appreciate. I don't want to go into too much detail about the story because I'm recommending people go see this. I will say that (in the interest of keeping a feminist self-awareness going) I was disappointed that no ladies really had prominent roles in the story beyond how the main (boy) characters related to them.
2.) BF and I are playing through Halo: Anniversary edition. It's basically a reskinned Halo 1, which I thought I would enjoy but I really wish that 343 Industries had included some of the additions the later games had. It's very jarring playing such a pretty Halo game and finding myself unable to car-jack a passing Ghost or pick up a dropped plasma sword.
3.) I'm very pleased with my efforts to eat healthier! I was raised a latch-key kid, so I grew up eating Pop-Tarts and microwave burritos. Lately I've been trying to get more healthy and/or organic options in my diet: fruit for a snack, yummy soymilk with my cereal, making dinners instead of relying on frozen food packs. I'm far from perfect--just the other day I had some McDonald's, and then a donut :P--but overall I'm feeling pretty good!
