nights in crapdanthe

ohhhhh, this could have been such a goooooood movie.
gere. lane. they have the talent. they have the heat. damn the marketing geniuses behind nights in rodanthe. when i saw that trailer, as sappy as i knew it was probably going to be, i fell for it hook, line, and sinker. There is something about romantic dramas that appeal to the estrogen flowing through my veins. What can I say, I like a good cry. I did not, however, cry while watching this depressing piece of garbage. I was too busy snickering at the uber cheesy dialogue, and straight up laughing out loud at most of the ludicrous plotline. The trailer made it look so goooood, though!


now if you are looking for a good romance, and you don't mind the drama, I suggest:

1)the prince of tides
2)terms of endearment
3)the notebook
4)something's gotta give
5)spanglish

since i got it from netflix on saturday, I have watched it twice. I watched it twice in the movie theatre, and will be buying it as soon as I get my next paycheck. I know none of these are going to help bring my romanticized views on love and relationships any closer to reality, and honestly, that is just fine. Pour me a glass of wine and pass the tissues.

Cinequest Film Festival is taking over Downtown San Jose as we speak, and last night I went to the California Theatre to check out Tenacious DTour , a documentary that followed the D on their world tour in support of The Pick of Destiny . A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats. We ended up sitting right next to Kyle Gass and his girlfriend. for those of you who aren't familiar with who he is, he's the other guy in the band who's not Jack Black. We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
