today some kids' band was playing outside at ucf. i walked out of the food area (after sharing a table with a stranger since she asked and ended up finding that she was a hip little junior theatre major. neato. life would be much easier if i was a lesbian) and kind of drifted in the direction of the "rock music". it was very amusing.. it felt really random like "oh.. a band's playing here. um.. what the hell." and people are just sitting and standing around and nobody claps when they finish a song and it's all kind of amusing. yeah.

yeah this girl's got it. anna is her name, theatre is her game. i always feel shitty when i have to take a big table all for myself. i've always kind of thought all the loners should get together and save space. that makes us sound really degenerate, but whatever. longers unite!

catch-22 is really funny and bizarre and good. but more just funny. it's not that dark.. well maybe i'm just used to it. everybody's crazy in it. which is funny. no really. go read a section of it and see what i mean.

the contender was really really good. great acting and a great message. kind of a perfect left-wing fit (up with civil rights, down with capital punishment, up with "a woman's right to choose", down with ownership of guns), but more just a nice little good over evil thing. joan's character had this amazing amazing dignity and i had great respect for her even though she and i disagree a little on political beliefs. gary oldman was phenomenal as always and had this great complexity of good intentions mixed with mccarthy-ism. jeff bridges was a little clintonesque so you weren't really sure of him most of the time, but his coming around to this side of good was kind of powerful, in my opinion.. even though there was a little bit of cheese (but not very much at all) and it was all pretty idealistic, but sometimes we need that. i still think politicians should watch movies and get their cues from them. they perfectly depict what's wrong and how we need to change. but i'm just a teenager..

countdown to L.I.E: 2 days.

the creek tonight! woo! i'm such a dork.. but it's so good.. er, bad, i mean bad.. oh but it's so good.
c h a r l i e...

i'm trying to find an available moment (2 hours) to watch Mother Night which i bought last week, which is based on a fantastic vonnegut book, but i can't seem to. i've seen it before, but on tv, i'm curious to see what was edited out, hopefully something. nick nolte starring in his second vonnegut book-turned-movie, bravo, nick. i'm really very impressed with him. and it's really interesting and heartbreaking and chilling.. it's great. it's a less funny vonnegut.. which is just as good, really. it stays with you longer.

buddyhead radio is killing me. i'm dead now. go listen to it: http://buddyhead.hipster.org/player/ the best are the icarus line, ink and dagger, radiohead (oh it gets me so excited) , aphex twin, at the drive-in (an awesome remix), kool keith, odb, N.E.R.D, and, of course, TEXT. oh man.
