Yo, yo! The roof is on fire!
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2004 11:33 pmSo I went to see The Village today with my two friends, Cyle and Garrett. I hadn't realized how long it had been since Cyle and Garrett had caught up. I'm in touch with Garrett all the time because he's my best friend's husband so I get updates from her. He and Cyle are best friends, but Cyle works 3rd shift and Garrett works 80 a week.
As for the Village, I found myself laughing at the end. I feel I might have ruined it for some people, but dammit it was too funny! The ending was too funny that is. As a word of caution, this is coming from the girl who thought Skinner was hilarious because Ted Raimi portrayed a nice guy serial killer who skinned people and walked around in their skins. Sorry if I ruin the movie for anyone, but like you were going to see a movie starring Ricki Lake, Ted Raimi, and Traci Lords.
I just loved that M decided to be "J" in this movie. That was funny for me.
( Spoilers containing a post I made on another board about this movie. )
I did enjoy this movie. I enjoyed the messages M. Night was giving.
After the movie, we went to lunch and started talking about movies. Cyle and I loved Anchorman and Garrett hadn't seen it yet. So off we went to see when that was showing. And turns out it was showing in about 15 minutes so we watched that. I hurt from laughing after the movie. And this is the third time I've seen it. I think I have convinced my mother to see Fahrenheit 9-11 which will make the 3rd time I see that movie.
Sidenote: My mom is playing with marbles in the living room.
I drove Garrett home (his wife wanted to borrow his car for the day since he was off and their van has a horrible transmission) and we wound up talking about politics and philosophy in the car for an hour! I'm pretty certain I've convinced him to see Fahrenheit 9-11. I think he'll enjoy seeing someone else share his opinions. He and his wife have put off seeing it since they have a new baby.
I've joined an alumni board for my high school. They have a topic opened about Fahrenheit 9-11. I have, of course, posted on it to stir up shit. I'll copy part of that post here and throw the questions out to you.

On the job front, I will hopefully have one interview next week. I feel that job is locked in for me. I got my paycheck for last week was which very, very meager. I received a call today at 4:35 pm while I was out from a place I applied at early last month. I will return the call tomorrow. I'm still interested in working two jobs for a while. The job that is locked will be a 3rd shift job so I will be gone from 9 pm - 6 am, but as I have been saying "I am in no position to be picky right now." So we'll see what pans out. The sad thing is that I have several job leads right now and I'm stuck in a holding pattern for the interview for the job that pays the most.
And on a summary note, I have been playing DDR again.

ETA: I should have mentioned this a while back, but June can be a tough month for me. Mattie Stepanek, who wrote beautiful poetry to express himself, died June 22nd. He was 13. I urge you to get inspired! Check out his poetry if you need some help.
