Hoo-ow, I did stuff....

....and on a week day, no less! On Teusday night, I went to see Starsky & Hutch. It wasn't especially good, there were only a few funny scenes. I suppose if I actually knew more about the 1970's or whatever era it took place in, I probably would have understood the humor a bit more.

On the way back from the movies, I begged my parents to take me to Blockbuster to buy Mona Lisa Smile. They did. Despite what a few people have said about it, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Obviously predictable, as most movies like that are very predictable. But the point of the movie wasn't the ending, it was more the experience, being a period film and everything.... Even though I did like it quite a bit, Entertainment Weekly did write a rather funny -but mean- review of the DVD:

"Ladies, if you want to believe that there's more to college than getting your MRS, grab your lipstick and heed this warning: Do not see Mona Lisa Smile. It will insult your intellegence, beggin questions like, Why do some characters have quasi-British accents? Why does Julia Roberts look completely out of place at a women's college in the '50s? How is it possible to jam so many clichès into two hours? We may never know, sisters, but the movie does teach us the earth-shattering lesson that things aren't always what they seem (no way!). Roberts fans may spark at some moments, as her patented gestures are here: lips smushed in consternation, maniacal cackles, toothy grins. Just don't expect any burning bras. Extras: Featurettes that try unsuccessfully to make the movie sound substantive) you can skip the Elton John Video, too). D."

I didn't really agree with the article. I thought the featurettes were interesting! Bleh.

Anyway, after the whole Gender Equity half day thing, I went home and relaxed a little bit with my partial day off. Then, my friend called and told me that he had to come over and that something was wrong. Naturally, me being extremely worried, I thought it must be something serious. I reluctantly let him come over. When he eventually did, I was in for a little surprize! He brought his friend, a person I haven't seen for three years who went to my middle school! It's fun to meet people you knew from way back when, even when the way back when is only three years ago. :) She, my friend, and I talked for a bit. We had some fun on my sister's computer because her buddy list was left on. My friend started talking to my sister's friend.... but it's not really all that interesting.

Then, after that, I got to babysit! :P Now, with the money that I got from babysitting, I want to go buy more movies! Hoorah! Movie central! .... :)
