Lost in Translation must be the best movie I’ve seen all year. I saw it at one of the Southdale Theaters with my parents tonight… just got back. It was funny, engaging. I felt a connection with the characters. The main girl was pretty cute in a charming sort of way. And she walked around a bunch without pants on. Bill Murray isn’t much to look at but he did a really good job. The movie poked a good amount of fun into the language and culture barrier between English and Japanese. I won’t bother telling you all the details to spoil the movie, but suffice it to say that I think y’all should try to go see it before it leaves the theaters. If you need somebody to go with, let me know… I’d be more than happy to see it again.

So Ann Marie talked to me online about seeing that movie. I didn’t think it looked to great so I was unenthusiastic. Anyway, deciding not to go (for dumb reasons I guess), Ann Marie called me from the theater to check that I wasn’t late. I told her that I wasn’t coming. Meanwhile my mom overheard and informed me that the movie got good reviews. Oh well. Realizing that I was a bum, I decided to try my luck at getting into the movie. So I drove over to AMC, but sure enough it had sold out. Great. I guess I’ll be spending the evening with my family. Here’s to being stupid.

I LOVE Quidam (by Cirque Du Soleil). That was the coolest show ever. And it serves as great background music when you are trying to do something else, like figure out your work schedule over thanksgiving break (sigh).

Oh, and I need to mention that Enigma is the coolest!
