mikao's world

going to...

just got back not too long ago, i would recommend maid in manhattan, very good fairytale-ish movie... unfortunately they have sex in the middle of it which is always disappointing. it would be such a totally good movie if they didn't, if they didn't give into their desires and waited and just didn't do what society expects. ugh! why do we give in to the lies of hollywood?

i love the whole magicalness of seeing a movie in the theatre, eating the popcorn that tastes like the inside of old gym shoes, the comfy chairs, the wiggly big huge screen, hearing the comments of fellow movie watchers, etc. etc. i remember in high school having a guest speaker in youth group who was a friend of my youth pastor's, he was supposed to talk about sex i think but ended up talking about relationships. i remember he said that a movie would be a bad date because you can't talk and it's so focused on the screen and not the person... but i think a movie is a totally good date. a) you share the whole movie theatre experience. b) i'm a total movie talker/commenter (but only very very quietly and usually only when the movie theatre is pretty empty) and i don't care if other people do it quietly. c) going out afterwards and talking is the best part, so fun. people see movies differently and it's neat to discuss what they saw and what you saw. yeah, so hey, if you ever want to take me out on a date, i'd love to see a movie with you. that would be fun.

got back and danced in joanne's room to her corny music (garth brooks), i have really taken to dancing lately... i am sure i look hilarious, i have no idea how to dance.

class is going well, i have a few quotes from my notes to publish... but not tonight.

am struggling with what to do this summer. i have a few options and don't know which to choose. i don't want to choose, i just want to know. i'm struggling between being pushed away and whether to accept it or to pursue further, and being pursued and whether or not to embrace it or push it away.

and i'd just like to mention... it's currently -31C outside (-24F), but really -44C (-42F) with the windchill (i.e. because of the wind it feels like -44C).

i'd like to go on a road trip.

On a lonely day
I look out on the freeway
I can fantasize
'Bout the car I drive
Don't need the light on
I can find my way
It's been so long
Now I have to say

I'm going to California
Gonna live the life
- Wave, "California"
