can i please just order my burrito?
happy new year ya'll. everytime i sit down to write something on this blog, all my clever little thoughts are gone and replaced with exhaustion.
the year has been good to me so far. all 9 days. im three days into my intersession ethnic studies class at san jose city college. (its the final 2 units i need to officially be a college grad and get my diploma.) there's a lot of hand-holding going on in the class, something im not particularly used to (and don't really care for), and im finding it annoying and hard to deal with. luckily there are only about ten more class sessions. today we spent half the class time reading our course books silently, then the remainder watching the movie norma rae. im wondering when the teacher is actually going to begin teaching.
ive been catching up on movies... still have more to see. so far ive seen brokeback mountain (twice), its a really great movie, with an honest and believable story that is told in a way that doesn't feel rushed or hollywood-ized. heath & jake (HOT), also gave great performances that felt geniune. any way, i liked the movie. one of my top picks of the year. i also saw munich this past weekend, which i thought felt a bit long at times, but is still one of the more interesting and relevant movies that ive seen this year. along with goodnight and good luck and syriana. props to the clooney. ive also seen a couple of pretty bad movies the past couple of weeks: rumor has it (horrible!) and the family stone (even more horrible). i wish mark ruffalo would stop making romantic comedies and hook back up with kenneth lonergan. blah.
im still waiting to see king kong, match point (seems identical to crimes & misdemeanors though), memoirs of a geisha and narnia. there's also talk of a movie-hop day to see the ringer and grandma's boy. yeah. im being serious. it wont be instigated by me, but i will inevitably be there. =)
and on a last note--before i set out to do some manual work around the office, i would just like to say that i find it somewhat annoying that when all i want to do is go into taco bell and order my spicy chicken burrito and nachos for lunch, i first have to be hit on and harassed by the boy taking my order. (who was oh so sad that i unfortunately had to take my lunch back to work--and not sit inside and have him harass me even more.)
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
