Sin City

This evening after my fascinating class on science in the news I got on the train and headed way way out there on the green line to meet Rick and Alasdair. We got some pretty good Indian food at Gold Star (hey, blue star would be better, but it's not a bad name!)

After dinner we headed to the movie theater and saw Sin City. I really had no idea what to expect going into it. I heard yesterday that it was about comic books - which I of course have never read. I also heard it was really violent. Based on this I was a little afraid that I wouldn't like it. It was really good, though.

I liked the artistic aspect of the filming in black and white with added color. It did seem a bit strange, however, that sometimes the blood was white and sometimes it was red. (And in one case yellow, but that was a bit special.) I loved the colors - and the story was suprisingly not too hard to follow. It reminded me, in a strange way of Amores Perros, but keep in mind that I'm a bit random in my movie associations. I guess maybe because there are multiple storylines that come together.

Anyway, it was an enjoyable experience. :)

Old pictures :)

I scanned a bunch of old pictures that I had from high school. As a teaser, here is one of my faves



That's me, rocking out in the radio station KMIH!

Hmmm

I got The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human in the mail today - yay! It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen - and I love to watch it again and again, unlike most movies.

I'm bored. Someone I know is on a hot date nearby at this very moment - just a 10 minute walk away in Davis Square. :) I'm bored, but I'm too tired to do much about my boredom.

I was planning on some knitting, but I'm tired so it may not be a great idea. I think I shall go curl up on the couch with my leopard fleece blanket and watch The Motorcycle Diaries.

I love this song. :)

Still bored, more scanned photos

Speaking of tamping down your enthusiasm, tell everyone to just forget about it. It's never easy -- but the difficulty level of reining you in just passed 'hard' en route to 'impossible.' Better warn them right up front.

tee hee

And here's another scanned photo - but not from the radio station this time:
