Aren't you relieved to know that you're not a golem?-Stranger Than Fiction

So lately i've been working up the nerve to watch Last Kiss, which i heard will leave even the most stoic of movie viewers curled up on the floor in a fetal ball of grief and depression. Much like Garden State did for me. The thing is with movies and books and music and the like, is it tends to bring back all the things that might've have been, and remind us continually about how things are now.

wow!! Simple words but what deep meaning... reminding us of what we might have been and what life is now.... I can totally identify with that...

Tammy and I watched Last Kiss... it's interesting, in that Stranger than Fiction way. It defies labeling. It's not great great, or even horribly horrid, it just is. I liked it, in a way... but it is depressing. It just leaves you there. Remember, too, that I like odd movies that have poetic influences unapreciated by others- case in point: Ladies in Lavender. It just ends, but without complete resolution... and I can't explain that unless you've seen it, in which case you might understand already why I think it makes sense. I would say "enjoy" or "have fun" about Last Kiss, but I don't think those are the right words. Good watching!

Thank you... I needed a good laugh. Pipe bombs in Hogwarts and a naked Dumbledore... what more does a person need?

don't do it! okay, so it's a month ago that you wrote this and you may have already watched it, but if you haven't why bother putting yourself through it? anyway, looking forward to seeing you at the end of the month!

peace.

So... I've been writing! YAY! Someday I'll send you a new installment in what I had you read last... maybe... if I type it up.

P.S. I thought you would be interested, and I really need someone else to care with me right now.
