Blood Diamond

I really enjoyed this movie.
I don’t really know what all to say, except that this is how it should be. This is the kind of movie I want to watch. It had it all–a great cast, drama, action, beautiful scenery, great soundtrack, a hint of romance, and a purpose. I hate that I waited so long to see it, but I’m also glad that I saw it at a time and in a place when I could truly appreciate it.

Lots going on these days…
I’ve informed the roommate that he must go. Too many horrible situations. And although he would always be kind and sweet the day after, it just got to be too much. So, adieu!
I think I’ve started seeing someone. Is it just pathetic that I’m not sure? We went out last weekend with a group. Then on Saturday night, it started out as just us and then we ended up running in to a mutual friend. Then yesterday we spent lunch and dinner with the group, but snuck off for a few hours in between. Just the two of us. A perfect afternoon in the countryside.
Now here’s the reason this is all so weird. There are four of us who get together for a meal every week: Me; B.–who I’ve casually dated on and off; J.–who I went to college with, but never knew all that well; and K.–who was a friend of J.’s. Well, K. and I met for the first time a few months ago, and at the time, he was living with someone and I was dating B. But now, we are both completely unattached and really enjoy hanging out. The problem? B. He’s still around and we think he might be hurt. So, basically, we’re behaving like children. Trying to pretend that we still don’t really know each other all that well.
By the way, we suck at it.
Oh, and also… I think I could really like him.
What else? Not much. The job is the same as always. I’m starting a sign language class tonight, which could be fun. At least it will be helpful at work. Oh, and the Amy Winehouse CD is great. (I finally sucked it up and bought it. I’m so old school.) Oh, and I went to my first movie (in the theater) in over 5 years. Spider-Man 3 sucks.
I want to be moved…

by something. Anything.
Music used to move me, inspire me. Now it just bores me.
People used to move me, invigorate me. Now they just frustrate me.
Books, films, restaurants, events–all the same.
I watched What the Bleep Do We Know? this past weekend. Quantum physics suggests that we can affect our world and our minds and make it all what we want it to be.
Still trying.
