I just watched gray gardens, the new hbo version, and it was great, and fascinating, and beautiful...but also very depressing. It was a very dark type of sad.

I need something different and new. Something to differentiate then and now. The perfect thing would be a fantastic new haircut, but the hair's not ready to be cut yet, it's still cooking in the oven. Too bad. I have big plans for this new hairdo of mine. Big plans. HUGE. I have to go shopping now.

No, I really do. Ok, no, i don't really. But i'm afraid that's what i'll end up doing in search of this something new. I'll just end up buying that something new. Maybe i'll draw a picture. Make a pretty painting.

Also, i'm really tired of being nice. Nice gets you nowhere in life.

Maybe i'll get a yogurt.

The Shop Around the Corner

Finally watched this tonight and realized that
1. Meg Ryan's adorableness in You've Got Mail is only a rehashed version of Margaret Sullivan's own adorable quirks. Down to the very minute details. Now does this make Meg Ryan a really good actress? Or is she just another Gucci knockoff from Canal St???
I'm not sure.

2. The way James Stewart speaks reminds me of a recent movie I saw with Nick Cage. Why I was even close to a nick cage movie, i don't know, must've been work related. Down to the very lip thing they both do! Ugh. Yet another Gucci knockoff? Except Nick's Gucci knockoff would be found in the final clearance bins of wal-mart. Take that cage!

Finally

I'm so so glad my friends and colleagues are finally home. It was so nice to see their homecoming, especially seeing euna reunited with her daughter. Her life has always amazed me, and now having gone through that it amazes me even more. I can't imagine being away from such a cute kid for so long. I'm not a sappy one, but just seeing her hold on to her daughter for dear life makes me tear up. It's just so weird to think that i know people on the breaking news...

She called in on speakerphone today and hearing her tired voice made me want to cry. It also made me want to give her a really big hug, but not let go for a while. And then I thought about all those other people who might want to give her a hug as well when she comes back and thinking how much more tired she'll be after that. She just looked so thin and pale and just...tired on tv.

And then, as hollywood would have it, all the news goes to paula abdul leaving AI. After all the emotions and intensities and happiness...all those feelings are followed by paula. I really don't know how to feel about that.
