3+ months of no internet on my own computer. Do you realize how much manga and music I’ve missed?! Granted I have been reading more, but I would’ve been reading most of those books anyway ‘cuz they’re related to school and/or to very good things (ie: Discworld, Adobe, Austen, Film).

Tonight is our third night of Smallville/movie watching. Is this the third or fourth season of Smallville? I have no idea, I haven’t watched much of it since the end of season 1 and my friend, Jennifer, (who was way more obsessed, she drools over Clark, I drool over Lex) hasn’t much either. But as the trailers for the season premiere brought a glimpse of flying and lots of Lois we can’t not watch. And it’s much easier to remember to watch it when you decide to get everybody together that night. I’m not too keen on tonight’s episode, girls wanting to be beautiful, another “monster-of-the-day” sort of episode, nothing too major in the plot of the series but we’ll watch Coffee and Cigarettes after (I completely forgot about that movie!! good thing my sister rented it) and it’ll be the first night my neighbor (Nadia) and I hang out together. I’ve knocked on her door a few times when I was going out but she was always gone. She just graduated from a culinary school somewhere and is working at Copia. Her schedule changes every week. Oh how I don’t miss that.

In other news, The Forgotten was pretty damn good. Julianne Moore did really well. I’m sure her experiences in motherhood helped well (she had a baby within the last couple years right? That great photo). The directing was awesome! Shakey in many scenes to jitter you up, add to the chase. The opening shot was really interesting. Many movies have used the aerial view of a city but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use exactly overhead so that the point in the middle of the screen is perfectly perpendicular to the camera. Very cool. OOoooh and the car crash shot was perfect… I’m not giving away too much am I? There’s nothing in there related to plot or giving much more than the trailers have =P
