school's over, until august anyway.  how do i feel?  i don't feel bad at all, i know that.  i feel slightly confused and frightened, but these aren't bad emotions.  i revel in them, really.  they keep me alert; they lead me from complacency.

i'm glad i'm confused about life now.  if i weren't, i'd have everything figured out.  i'd know exactly where i was going and exactly what i would be doing when i reached there.

fortunately, i have no such concept at this time.

today, lindsay and i ate some taco bell and then took in about a boy.  i wanted to see insomnia, but we arrived too late.  anyway, i'd read about a boy last summer, right after i read high fidelity and found out that nick hornby had written other novels.  i liked it a lot, though it wasn't as good a book as high fidelity was.

well, i've now seen both movies, and i think about a boy is better than high fidelity when speaking in terms of the cinema.  hugh grant, simply put, deserves an oscar nomination.  this is big from me, considering i've never before liked a hugh grant film.  don't even get me started on nine months.  so, yeah, i wasn't sure what to expect from this.  it was kept british in terms of actors and locale, unlike high fidelity, which was re-located to chicago.  this added to the feel of the movie.  the ending was greatly altered - i think i liked the book's more.  but, this is a minor gripe.  the kid in the book was brilliant - but why didn't they leave nirvana in tthere, rather than changing it to mistikal and other rappers?  oh well.  still, the best time i'd had at the movies since the royal tenenbaums.

i also finished reading tom robbins' still life with woodpecker, which i started waaay back on like the last day of the senior trip.  i loved it when i first read it, but since then, only picked around at it.  well, today, i decided to just sit down and read it all.  the book draws logical connections between the phases of the moon, redheads, the pyramids, romanticism, outlaws, arabs, and at the center of it all (of course), love.  it was truly great.  i'm going to look for more from robbins.  right now, i'm either starting a fitzgerald short story collection i got or finishing one flew over the cuckoo's nest or raise high the roofbeam, carpenter.  i also intend to read american psycho as soon as i buy it - which would be once i get more graduation money.

someone should've told me graduating made you rich sometime earlier.  i might look into it full time.

dee dee ramone died!?  i'm about to click the link.  damn.
