Wow...you can definitely see how bored I get when I'm at home.....I post 10 times as much. So I watched Ocean's 12 tonight. I remember wanting to see it opening night in Cedar Falls when I was on a date with Ann, but she didn't want to see it. Speaking of which, I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I saw her during finals week while I was back on campus. Now, I stress that I'm no longer interested in her that way, but I AM interested in what exactly happened when she stopped emailing me. And I think she feels bad about it...because she was too busy to talk when I saw her, but she said that during May Term she and I "need to have a talk." Hmmmm....
So anyway, back to the movie -- It was good, except it did exactly what my advisor at school says not to do when writing a story. He always says that not telling your reader what's going on isn't a form of mystique....it's not telling your reader what's going on. In Ocean's 11 you could at least go back through the movie a second time and figure everything out. The script/movie left definite clues. In Ocean's 12, though, there are clues...but they don't add up to anything. Maybe it was more obvious before several editors got to it, but I have no idea. At any rate, it was good....until you analyze the movie...which is usually the case with a lot of movies.
In other news, I've forgotten how much I enjoy the music of "Noise Ratchet." I have their album "Till We Have Faces" on my computer here at home, but no place else...so the only time I can listen to it is when I'm around my computer...which hasn't been all that often lately. Anyway, it's a great album. Especially tracks 4, 5, and 6.
