So I was talking to Amy yesterday and I realized that we are bored. We are busy girls, don’t get me wrong, but it’s just very stable right now. Boring is actually good for her and me. I know that she will be going through a lot of changes in a few months and I know that it will be challenging to get it back to same level of stability in a different town with different friends and work. It’s not like we don’t have hobbies either because between both of us, we have tons of things that we like to do and they keep us very busy. But it is a weird feeling that I cannot describe. I go through the motions and do all that I can to have fun and enjoy life. No drama or craziness right now in my own life (though I know that my friends are going through a lot of interesting situations right now). But life is sweet and I have no complaints.

And Kurt, you and your family are in my thoughts. I am here and am at your disposal. If you need me, you know how to find me.

I went to see a sneak preview for the new Todd Solondz movie, Palindromes. [I think that my favorite palindrome is: Nate bit a Tibetan, for obvious reasons. I don’t think that I have ever said that to Nate, but when he gets back from St. Louis, I will definitely bring it up.] Like every other film he’s made, this one was equally as disturbing, but not as depressing as some, which was quite refreshing. It had many depressing elements, but I didn’t want to kill myself or anything after watching it. He touched on a lot of hot political topics such as abortion, religion, free-will, pedophilia, sex, and so much more. It was a bit hard to watch at times, but overall, it was a great film. He used 8 different actresses to play the lead role and interchanged them throughout the film and I think that it was done very well. There was a Q & A afterwards with him and for as much as I prepared for his tweekiness, it still wasn’t enough. His mannerisms and speech and voice and everything combined was hilarious and yet very real. He is such a weird guy, but for him, it’s okay. He seems to be doing well despite all of his idiosyncrasies. Twas lovely and these little advanced screenings and Q & As remind me of how great LA is. You can’t get these screenings in Modesto, though I hear that they will be releasing Episode III a week early there. I guess George Lucas isn’t that much of a bastard father to Modesto than I thought. I guess people can change.
