sometimes splurging pays off
i spent the day wandering from my place to and along haight street, and then far far away to the land of independent movie theatres - which is a good distance from my house. my legs ache a bit. and when i told my housemates where i had gone, the looked at me in wonder and disbelief. so i walked a ton today, but it has been compensated for by the ridiculous amount of meat stew, cornbread and mojitos that i inhaled this evening with my housemates (none of whom seem creepy).
fog + glasses = awesome. it was drizzly out for the first time since i arrived, and resuled in this place feeling like portland.
went to see 'the squid and the whale.' highly recommended from this end. wes anderson co-directed it (learned this when watching the credits). mom don't see it, unless you want to freak out.
super freaking excited for a film with sarah silverman called 'jesus is magic.' (note the title for pete's sake). i recognize her from tiny roles (her short bit in 'the aristocrats' was one of the finest in that mess)... and this film looks like it's going to be insanely hilarious/offensive/brilliant. find it, if it's out where you are anytime soon.
i leave on tuesday for 'l.a.' which is still 100% hilarious to me. *pauses and thinks to herself* i go to 'conferences' in 'l.a.' i can't believe this stuff actually happens.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEKEND (next to wandering/smiling constantly during said wandering):
i decided to spend money and see 'the squid and the whale.' i then thought to myself 'f it. i want popcorn, and i'm going to buy some,' which i stood in line to do(i never do this, so you know). weeehhhhheeeell, they had a trivia contest a-happenin'. first patron in line who answered some question correctly wins free popcorn. question posed: 'when was the first recorded visual documentation of a live giant squid?' thank god for previous blog entries about busty, breasty under-the-sea creatures. although i kinda felt like a dorky jeopardy contestant, free popcorn relieved me of all concerns about appearances to my hipster sf film watching cohort. and i stuffed my face during the lovely film. lame, lame yes i am lame.
wish you were here to see this mess with me. really. this whole things is dreamlike sometimes. especially the roofs and lights and conversations. not sure how i got here. and will be treating the rest of my stay here as a journey through a foreign country. miss you.
