aww

watched brokeback mountain in princeton yesterday with some work people. i don't know why i feel compelled to document this, but probably because i haven't watched practically any of the golden globe-y movies and i wanted to. and because it's a movie that everybody seems to have seen and had a reaction to (too repetitive 'n' slo, hauntingly thought-provoking). to me it seems like one of the movies that reviewers write "but the real star of the film is the rocky mountains..." although i was really impressed by heath ledger. he's come SUCH A LONG WAY from 10 things i hate about you. a good film in its own right.

yesterday i went to an H Mart! it was a nice freakishly warm day for a drive, and my fridge has been begging to be loved for awhile. now all i need to know is how to cook! i've been cookbook craving for a little while, especially this one! i saw it at micawber books (for full price i'm sad to say i didn't buy it then and there feeling like it'd be much cheaper at amazon...) and it was bee-you-tiful.

also, i've been going to this really excellent class at the gym which is led by a cheerfully boppy and sadistic instructor. however, i'm self-conscious enough to think that if i go to his class again, he'll think that i'm stalking him.

okay, my stomach hurts. i think from going out and bumming a cigarette at winberies which seems to be my new hobby. time to eat something, time to get started...

incongruity/irony

pick one you like!

championship bowling = copout
boring haircut + interesting person = ironic
diplo's shirt at the guggenheim = so predictable = more ironic = ?
john logan = steve carell

cold pride = burning bridges

i couldn't even really bother.

Oh I was walking on feet just like my father's
And my knees were trying to reach you at your mother's
Cause my nose was screaming that you smelled like a lover
But my hands were happy to treat you like a brother

speaking of DVDs, i left them all at my parents' house. but last night i watched a little bit of 32 short films about glenn gould and it impressed me less than it used to.

also lately - wanting to be glenn gould. or not, really, but at least moving in that general direction. like the michael kimmelman direction?

i just started thinking how i didn't like that ashlee simpson song, "l.o.v.e." and then i decided that i like it.
