[WARNING: This update will probably be long, and there won't be any pictures. Blah!]

So I guess I'm a bit behind in my updating.....there's not much new stuff going on to report on though. The boy is landside again, thank goodness, my trip to Virginia was fun (kind of) but mainly coming back helped cement a feeling, however temporary, of San Diego as home for now, and the show Big Lake taught me that Curly Sue was a John Hughes movie. I don't know how I never knew that, but it does explain why Curly Sue is such a kickass movie...!

Anyways, the night before my trip, I passed the time packing and indulging in a Harry Potter 1-4 marathon, which I won't pretend I didn't quite enjoy. Earlier the same day I made the mistake of watching Extract, which was, frankly, terrible. I'm not really sure what I expected, I just really like Jason Bateman. Then I watched He Was a Quiet Man, which I thought was really good! An excellent dark comedy that featured very believable character development, for a change, and a well-portioned dose of heavy, relatable themes, offset nicely by the right amount of whimsical, surreal elements to assure you it's not taking itself too seriously.

During my visit to Virginia, I agreed, unfortunately, to watch She's Out of My League, which is not only by default pretty lacking, but also completely loses its premise if you don't find Alice Eve attractive, as I do not. I will give them points though for at least making her "out of his league" in more areas than just looks. It made the movie slightly more two-dimensional than I thought it would be. Anyways, this is by no means a suggestion for ANYBODY to actually see this movie, but I did find that Jay Baruchel, who I really liked in Tropic Thunder, made it watchable, and Nate Torrence had some really bright moments. Later in the trip, my mom and I watched basically the polar opposite of the above movie, in the form of A Single Man, a stunning movie, carried almost entirely on Colin Firth's very capable shoulders, though Nicholas Hoult's eyes provide a command performance as well. Overall, it's hard to believe that this incredibly well-directed film is fashion designer Tom Ford's first! Fair warning: this is an incredibly depressing movie. Like, slit your wrists sad. Ultimately though, I thought it was really well done, and after a good night's sleep I was left with what I can only assume is the movie's deeper message (after "why bother, life is pain......), that you never know what life is going to throw at you, and that the unpredictability inherent in the human experience is the cause of life's most extreme anguish and most joyous heights and unless you accept the one you won't be able to embrace the other. It's more poignant and less trite than it sounds, honest!

That's awesome. I miss being able to walk places. And having food so close would be so convenient. I don't know about you, but I'm always forgetting ingredients! I hate finding new friends. Meetup.com has been cool though.
