but along the lines of my true resolution, i want to say that the reason i started this blog was to put the weird things that come into and go out of my life out there. with my thoughts and feelings attached. this includes things i see, hear, touch, eat, and/or smell. things i think and/or feel. and everything else in between.
so tonight, instead of getting horribly drunk with friends i don't have, i stayed in. and watched my new netflix. l'auberge espagnole. a lovely movie about going off on your own to experience new and great things, while running into a few difficulties. and how these experiences change who you are. the french main character has decided to study abroad in spain, and finds a space living with 6 or 7 other students, all foreign but each from a different country. he meets other french people who have transplanted themselves to barcelona. a terribly uncultured englishman, who is the younger brother of a female roommate. and several women who all intrigue him in different ways.the script was quite good, even with me following along to the subtitles. but the directing. i do not recommend watching this movie with even the slightest headache. the director is really big on using the camera to convey what the characters are feeling. which can get the viewer a little seasick. but the movie survived the sea wreck and it was interesting through the end. i do recommend to one and all. also if you're interested, audrey tautou, of amelie fame, plays the role of the frenchman's girlfriend back home.
what's weird is i remember being recommended this movie by an ex-roommate's blind date. how crazy is that? when he told me about it i knew i'd like it. and that more likely than not i'd want to be friends with him. (as i knew i never would be with that roommate.) after watching it, i'm slightly sadden by not having the opportunity to get to know him more.
