jumping into hyperspace isn't the same as dusting crops, farmboy
im sick. i stayed home today. i might do it again tomorrow, too. just for laughs.
so i spent my day watching tv. i hate tv. a lot. fortunately, i found some movies to watch.
1. Great Expectations- yes, THE great expecations, the one we read in hayward's class. but it's modernized, and stars ethan hawke and gwyneth paltrow, and instead of spending bazillions of years sitting around in miss havisham's house, they do that a little bit and then just run around looking completely beautiful and then have some sex. it's an interesting take on the story. really, i'd suggest watching it if you've read the Dickens. it's a lot more entertaining. and... everything in the movie is green. it tries really hard to be artistic like that.
2. STAR WARS- so i watched this thing on VH1 about star wars and decided to watch the movies themselves. i watched the first two (A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back). what incredible movies. i haven't seen them in years, and i'd forgotten how much i loved them! i hadn't, however, forgotten all the lines i used to know. i forgot some, yeah, but i was genuinely shocked to find myself talking along with the movie. gosh. they are so GOOD! they are just really great, entertaining filmmaking.
fun fact: ok, Kessel Run, that occasionally plays the basement shows? the "kessel run" is obviously the standard for fastness in the star wars galaxy. Han Solo brags that the Millenium Falcon can make it in only twelve seconds. now i think Kessel Run is cooler than ever.
tomorrow, if i am sick again, i plan to watch Return of the Jedi. Ewoks. That is all.
Oh--and how about that lj THING that went insane last night?!? that was the craziest. it was kind of funny because we were all talking practically in real time, but we werent iming, just ljing. despite that i actually loved it. i really enjoyed it because it generally let out all the love our little sarcastic hipster asses are hiding. never will this happen again, i am confident. which is a shame. because it was a major self-esteem boost.
in other news, i am gross and smell bad.
