I saw 'Million Dollar Baby' yesterday. I can't really remember the last bad movie I saw, I've been on such a string of good ones. You can certainly tell that it's Oscar time. I know, 'I Heart Huckabees', that was the last one I didn't care for. Pretentious for the sake of being pretentious. I think it would have been better if I was still...

Springtime weather in Winnipeg in February. Just wonderful. When I was young, it seemed like the sunny blue sky days in the winter were always the coldest days, and the cloudy snowy days were the warm ones. Today it's brilliantly sunny. Go figure.
My project for the weekend is to take a bunch of pictures of me and of Winnipeg and send them down to...

thats interesting. mine is from a Massachusets headstone from the late 17th century
Haircut day today, or rather, head shave day today, well, almost shaved. Let's call it a really really buzzed buzz cut.
And then I made the mistake of stopping in on the used DVD store and finding the special editions of Tarantino's first three films for under $20 each, plus the Scarface Anniversary edition. And then I saw the Munsters staring at me and I...

I've decided to take my birthdate off my profile because I'm finding it depressing to be reminded of how old I am every single time I open up my page.
Amazing Race finale tonight. Kris and Jon had better win.

Awwww....sorry they lost. But 2nd place is ok.
Well....I have a TV, I just don't GET anything on it, so I watch DVD's and VHS movies and stuff sometimes. Cable is too expensive to justify while I'm in school. <g> Actually, it was too expensive to justify while I was working for years before school too. heh. The only things I miss are my fav. TV shows and, sadly, the news. Ah well. someday.....

yeah, the horse cruelty made me sad. 
So, I saw 'The Sea Inside' yesterday. Very good movie.
And today I went to see 'Hotel Rwanda'. What an extraordinarily powerful movie. It's such a strange concept to know that genocide is not something to read about with horror in history books. It always seemed so distant in the past, in spite of the living survivors from the Nazi camps. Yet, it happened again...

I still have 23 more years so you're not in that bad of a position.
cai:
i guess i never took into consideration the fact that some people work early and can't be out late on a school nite. 
ah well, we'll meet at the theater eventually i'm sure anyway. if you ever go in the evening and need company, let me know, because i generally go see movies there by myself when rob is working.
did you go see 'house of flying daggers' yet? what'd you think? did you see 'the woodsman' when they had it? that was... intense. or 'sideways'? i hated 'sideways'. rob says i'm the only person who thought it was sad. i haven't seen 'the sea inside' yet.
*edited to say i read your journal after i posted, so ignore my question about 'house of flying daggers'

I think I may be going crazy. I feel things slipping away in my mind. But I'm conscious of it, so that's a good sign. Maybe I should...

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would...

well it's concidered childcare now.so if you dont take your kid home for lunch then you pay a fee to let them stay there!i think thats outragous myself.

well i would be honest with you if you tried on frames that looked bad. but i wouldn't get glasses at a walmart if i were you. they're kinda shitty. no i shouldn't say that... its just that, i think you could find nicer ones someplace else.
we charge $150 for progressive lenses, but if you want coatings its more.
progressives are kind of a kick in the crotch aren't they? whats your prescription? maybe you could pull off getting two pairs: one for distance and a reader??
whatever you do, stay away from the line bifocals.

I just saw In Good Company with Topher Grace and Dennis Quaid . . . good movie. Would have been better if I hadn't had drinks beforehand. I kept trying to pass out.
I've totally been wanting Jenna's autobiography. That book looks GREAT.
