UPDATE: I don't wanna just post a new entry, because I'm still glowing over Dunx's comparison of me and Abra, but in the meantime, does anyone have any good ideas on what to do if your contact gets lost in your eye? I'm pretty damn sure that I would have noticed if it had fallen out or something, but yeah, it's nowhere to be found. I know I ought to go to an eye doctor, but they're closed tommorrow, and I'm not going to the hospital over it. Also, I'd much rather take care of it on my own. I've tried rewetting drops, rolling my eye around a lot, etc. I'm not quite badass enough to like, jam a fork in there searching. No idea where the fucker is, though my eye does feel a bit wierd. Might be useful to add that they're disposable contacts, ie not hard.

I know, I know, it's time to update.
I've been thinking a lot about movies and move theatres lately. I really like going to the student run campus theatre here, and seeing old movies on the big screen for very little money in kind of a dumpy theatre. It's a very different experience from going to one of those massive neon lit theatres and paying 10 bucks for a matinee of the newest hit. It seems to me that these new flashy theatres have got it all wrong - they don't get what's great about watching movies. And I'm still trying to figure out and articulate the difference. Your thoughts?
I noticed that I enjoy going to the movies even if the movie that I see is really crappy. Of course, I'd prefer to see a good movie, but I don't mind watching a bad one in the right environment. I think there's something to having a very laid back approach to film - it's not only the ticket price of these bigass flashy theatres that's offputting, it's also the neon lights, escalators, fancy seating - do you know what I mean?
Of other things, I'm writing a paper on House of Leaves for my Word and Image class. I was re-reading parts of the book this morning, and now I just feel sort of creepy. I gain more and more respect for that book as time goes by.
Finally, I seem to be losing patience for people. I don't know if that's a good thing. There's something to be said for standing up for yourself, but then again, nobody's perfect. But, to quote a film I think very highly of,
How not perfect can one woman be?

I'm re-reading House of Leaves as we speak, too! Started it again a couple days ago and I keep scaring the crap out of Al by talking about my 20-ft deep closet, hehe. But yeah, I gain more respect for it every time I read from it, too.
And I have no idea what movie that quote is from.
I miss you a lot.
Anyway, I lost a contact lens in my eye one and it came out about 2 days later all dried up. My eye really hurt for about a week afterwards, but it was fine after that. Good luck getting it out, if it's still there. Try swimming, that never fails to make me lose lenses.
