another long january day

something interesting: i just discovered that my cat stalks my cursor on the computer screen. and now she is laying in my top desk drawer. she's given up my cushy bed next to me for my pokey desk. weird cat.

something terrible: i'm watching Save the Last Dance. I forgot until now how terrible that movie is.

something lonley: my roommates are gone until jan 22 and classes don't start until the 23rd. by the time classes start again i'll have been here by over a month by myself.

a side note: the cat just ate paper off my desk.

a recent purchase:
A Very Long Engagement. it's directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet. the same guy who directed Amelie. audrey tautou plays Mathilde, a young french woman who's fiance is executed for self mutilation while in a trench during world war one. she denies his death a swears that she will find him. like amelie, the colors tell a story. they are dark and drab, with the occasional burst of red or purple. i fall more in love with jeunet with each film i see.

melinda and melinda, a woody allen film. it debates the idea of a comedy versus a drama. and if the same story, that of a young jilted woman named melinda, could be better told as a comedy or drama. it fabulously intertwines both genres. i liked it.

empire records. i assume that everyone has seen this, even though i saw it for the first time in october. but it should be common knowledge that it is a fabulous movie, and i bought it for $5.50, so that pretty much makes it perfect.

a recent development: now i'm in the mood for a movie. but should i watch one of my own, or rent one. oh the dilemma's in life.

yep,

my last post proves it right. i'm full of crap.
this weekend was great. no need to be nervous
but now i feel sick.
and i don't see my health improving anytime soon
