Two more movie reviews. I'll keep them short.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, first. I'll admit my mood played a factor in my lack of enjoyment of this movie but I still can't help but think how highly overrated the movie is. There were some pretty funny points throughout but I generally found it uncomfortable. The movie is one big, long drug trip (any drug you can imagine). So, while I know know what it's like to sniff Ether, I don't care. I don't recommend it
Lost Highway, next. I saw and loved David Lynch's Blue Velvet. This one, not so much. It had a lot of promise throughout. It was really intense, which was great; however, in the end you are left with nothing. In discussing it afterwards we were still just as clueless. I like a movie that doesn't make sense when I'm done watching it (Belle de Jour) as long as I can make some sense of it soon enough (Donnie Darko). When there is a payoff to all the thinking it makes it worth while. With Lost Highyway I don't think any sense can be made of any of it so whats the point in trying? I don't recommend it.
Friday sucked. Saturday was better. Sunday's been pretty good.
Friday I was just in a bad mood (thats when we watched Fear and Loathing) and didn't really care to do anything. Around 10 or so I think I went into my room and just layed in bed listening to music.
Saturday was wasted away pretty quickly and soon enough it was night time. I played some Life (and won) with Matt, Andy, Carmen, Caitlyn, and Andrea. We came back for a bit of Alice's friends' band that was playing a show at the Townhouse. Matt wasn't feeling great so we went back to Andrea's along with Vanessa and played some Balderdash.
Today I woke up feeling incredibly productive but nothing to be productive with. In retrospect I should have done a bit of laundry. I didn't realize I was so low on socks.
It was beautiful outside, too! We ended up playing Ultimate outside, which was pretty rockin, of course.
Have you ever thought about your daily processes? There are certain things you do every day in the same order. Sometimes there is a reason to them (putting your underwear on before your pants) other times there is not (washing your body before your hair) but yet you do them in the same order every time, anyway, and feel very awkward if you don't. Of course, if it gets to the point where doing them out of order is much more than just unpleasant we call that OCD. And I don't know where I was going with this. But I was thinking about it today and found interesting enough to think about it for a while longer.
