Well, it's been a nice weekend. A lot of alone time....and it's been really good. Friday night I was going to go to the Independent Film Festival at the Nelson with Matthew Shepard and a bunch of people...but I decided that I'd rather just be a loner. So I went to the movies and saw Chicago. I absolutely HATED it. Yeah, at first I thought I just didn't like it...but I hated it. Ok, I can see why people think it's so great...because it's new and modern and original...the acting is good. The way they told the story was very unique and interesting...but the story was horrible! Here's the story:
A woman cheats on her good, loyal, but plain, husband--->she finds out the guy she's cheating with lied to her--->she shoots him and kills him--->goes to prison--->hires a scuzzy lawyer to make up an elaborate story about her and get her off the hook(oh...and her sweet husband pays for it)--->she's found INNOCENT--->dumps her husband--->becomes a big star. THE END.
The only redeeming quality this "star" had was determination, and I'm not so sure it was a redeeming quality in her. So...yeah. Those are my thoughts. You're welcome to disagree. Oh...and I thought the music sucked as well.
So that was Friday. (Oh...and later that night I came back to Browning and watched Willow with the dorm kids...what a great movie) Saturday I planned on getting allllll this stuff done! I was going to paint, do 15 sketches, research my paper, work on my notebooks, write my paper!!! Yeah...NO! Didn't happen. I did do some research on my paper finally. But I spent the whole day at my aunt's house talking. Then I just drove around Kansas City trying to get lost for the heck of it. I finally came home and did some work...oh...and I stood some guy up for a date. Guys can be really dense sometimes. (no offense Dave, Jimmy, Leo...whoever else reads it) Yeah...so then I talked to Leo, of course...and it was wonderful, of course. Now it's Sunday...and I'm going to write my paper so that I can go to church tonight. I need to go to church. I struggle without it. Too bad I have a paper due every dang Monday. Oh well. Life...that's just how it is. Ok, adios.
