Saw "House of Flying Daggers" tonight. It was good but lacked the well-woven plot of Crouching Tiger.
My sis got in an argument with a girl and her boyfriend sitting a seat away from us in the theater. That was crazy...apparently we were whispering too loudly. But if you ask me both June and that girl were way too combative.
Actually, it seemed that whole theater was full of interesting characters. Four rows ahead of us a pair of girls yelled out, "yes!" when what seemed like a sex scene started (unfortunately for those girls it was cut short) Then later in the movie some older guys behind us started talking loudly and laughing in an intense moment. The audience was also more reactive in surprise scenes than normal.
At one point I looked at my sister and whispered that this crowd was wacko...of course, hoping that girl wouldn't go off on me for whispering again. :-)
I'm in SD right now because I have to finish the Community Economic Development program I'm in. So I'll be coming back to SD every other weekend until April.
I've just gotten settled in LA. It took me a while to gather the furniture I needed and now I've finally got all my stuff off the floor. I have my orientation next week and I don't start classes until the 31st.
So I still feel like my life is in slow motion just punctuated by cleaning and moving. The month before I left SD I was cleaning and decorating my grams house. And now I'm cleaning and organizing again. To be honest, I just feel like my life is never going to have the same sense of meaning again. Seems like it's just a never-ending river of mundane nothingness.
Part of me wishes that the audience of my blog wasn't so big (big for me). It's definitely expanded beyond my close friends. That's cool and everything but I guess I write this blog like I'm talking to really close friends. The knowledge that people I don't know are reading sometimes taints my view of my entries....instead of seeing them in light of the meaning I intend I start to look at them the way others might perceive them. But oh well, I think I have to blog that way and if I look like a big whiner...well, that's probably true anyway. :-)
By the way, I'm going to be writing people back from my back-logged emails now that I know where my underwear is.

Hey big whiner! Yeah right, in reality you are content, cheerful, and the funnest person I know.
wow, thanks.
i wonder who you are...
That comment wasn't left by me but, hey, I agree!
That's so funny about your theater full of weird people. I wonder if it was a convention of some sort--maybe a bunch of kungfu beginners who had too much soda in their system.
Has Biola officially accepted you? Last I heard you were nervous about moving to LA since you weren't "officially" accepted yet. But then since I haven't heard anything about you not being accepted, you must be. Well then, congratulations! Glad it all worked out =)
That's interesting...I also watched "House of Flying Daggers" with a VERY strange audience. I was really surprised by how openly they reacted to the surprising scenes in the movie. I was actually kinda bothered by it...for me, when people talk/laugh/react at inappropriate times, it totally takes me out of the flow of the movie, and it's difficult for me to get emotionally involved in the movie. Hmmm...I wonder what it is about this movie in particular that evokes such reactions.
that's wild, won ho. Maybe these movies have a kind of cult following.
i've heard of movies that have a very distinct following and their followers are more involved in the theater.
