Across The Universe soundtrack


  I vow I am going to (try not to) make anymore "promises" in my entries anymore. I keep telling you I'll tell you about something later, and usually don't do it. I feel bad about this, so I'm going to stop. At least that way I won't be [kind of] lying to you anymore.
  I am on the mend.


  Since Tuesday, I've been house-/dog-sitting for my brother and sister-in-law while they're away in Hawaii. And they're letting me use their car, eat their food, and watch their cable while they're gone. This has been the best week in a long time.

  Because I've gotten used to being by myself while I've been house-sitting, I hadn't realized how much I didn't miss the loud obnoxious-ity of my siblings. Not until I drove them over to a friend's house. I already want to leave... it's too loud.


  All the while I've had time to myself, I have watched three movies. Tuesday, I watched Across The Universe (the third time within the past 5 days); Wednesday I watched Marie Antoinette (the one with Kirsten Dunst in it); Thursday, I watched The Lookout.
  I like Across The Universe (duh, I watched it three times). I probably wouldn't like it quite so much if it had a different opening. The first minute and a half of the movie, you see this guy sitting on a beach (a cold, British beach), and he sings the first verse of the Beatles song "Girl". And it's not so much what he's doing (he's just sitting there... singing), as it is how he's doing it that makes it my favorite piece of cinematography in the universe. Should I ever find a clip, or a way to make a clip of my own, I will most definitely post it here to show you. This is no lie. Anyways.
  Marie Antoinette was okay. I probably wouldn't have liked it as much if I wasn't in french class. I liked Jason Schwartzman in it, though. I like watching him in movies.
  The Lookout was really good. The best movie I've seen in a while: I highly recommend it. Can't really say much about it.. I'm a poor critic. All I could ever really say about anything is whether I liked it or not, unless you don't mind me going into the whole story, because that's how I try explaining things: I end up telling you the whole thing so you can, from my viewpoint, understand a part I started telling you about. So that's why I don't usually go into what I liked about something... it takes too long.


  I am so very tired. I want to go to bed, but I have some homework I wouldn't feel right about putting off. I have to go to work in the morning. The thought of that, and the volume of the noise in the background is making me so tired.... I want to go home. That's what I've been calling my brother's apartment as of late: home. It's quiet there. I like it too much. I don't want to go back to my house: it's too noisy, too loud. I just want to go to bed.

I already knew that when I was going to move back home, I wasn't going to like it. but it was necessary for what needed to be done. I only have to wait 5ish more months until I can be back on my own again. isn't it nice being on your own?

I don't remember hearing about the Lookout...

I sure know how you feel. When I'm at home, I miss my hostel which is so darn quiet and cold but when I'm at my hostel, I miss my home because of the food but nothing else because it's god damn noisy at home.

I feel sleepy, a little hungry and lazy right now but I know I shouldn't be procrastinating any longer.

I think I'm going to check out those two movies... across the universe and the lookout. I have already seen Marie Antontte. (however you spell her name). I am just not a fan of Kristen Dunst and her vampire canines. (gross)

I saw so many movies this weekend that I cant remember them all.

We Own the Night
The Brave One
Mr. Brooks
Roan Innish (irish foklore movie)
Say Anything (1990's movie with John Cusak)
Sybil (very disturbing)
Wit (very sad drama but EXCELLENT acting)

Now I have two more to add to my list. :)
