It's November in about 15 minutes
I know I've said it before, but I love the Fall season. Ofcourse I'd love it more if Florida was more fall-ish! But the weather has definitely cooled down a bit. Instead of the high 80's, now in the 70's each day.
I appreciate all the gift money I had received from family and friends and was able to buy a lot of needed clothing items. I am a bargain shopper, and love finding good deals. A friend has given me a gift card to Old Navy for $20 and I was able to get a pair of shoes, a purse, and a cardigan there for $22. So I only spent $2 of the other bday money there. It was great! All in all I was able to get 2 pairs of jeans, another sweater cardigan, 2 shirts and a few other umentionables. :) I still have a little bit left over, but just using for buying coffee's,etc.
Well I guess I'm off to bed. Going to go read a little of Island of the Blue Dolphins, which I am almost finished with, and then sleep. I can't imagine being left alone on an island...it would be so difficult and lonely. I know God would be with me, and that is the only thing that would bring me any bit of comfort. Otherwise I'd probably go insane! Like in the movie Castaway, when Tom Hanks starts talking to the ball. The end of that movie was pretty depressing as well.
I guess I am one of those people who just does not like movies that end sad....give me escapism!!! I want happy endings! Yes I know real life is not always happy but still, give me happy movie endings! I guess I am not a film connoisour(I have no clue how to spell that) because I don't appreciate movies that are supposed to be "amazing cinematograpy" and you walk out afterwards thinking "what a waste of time!!!!". I had a class in college a couple years ago, it was a literaute/film class. We had to watch a bunch of old movies that were supposed to be "amazing". Half of them bored me to death, some disturbed me, and only a couple did I actually enjoy. Citizen Cain/Kane ?(hehe man I don't remember how it's spelled in that movie) boring and stupid in my opinion!!! I know, I know there is supposed to be some great filming in there, but I do not have an eye for it and it does not interest me. There were many others that left me dumbfounded and bored.
Ok well, off to bed for real!!! :)

i had a film class in college ... some of the movies were good (the foreign film we watched was one i had seen about a million times "run lola run". one of my favorites!), but some (like out "spotlight" director, john sayles) were BORING! unfortunately, we didn't see any silent films (one of my favorite genres) and of course, no bollywood movies because the entire class was only 3 hours long, and part of that time was used for discussion :P
since my mom is a blockbuster video manager, i've seen SO many movies (most of which i didn't finish). and yes, a good number of them are a huge waste of time. one of my favorites right now (because of my job) is Office Space. rated R for language and some sexual references, but very, very funny.
another comment! yay!
actually, i'm just responding to one of your posts on VJ (check out my latest xanga post).
anyway, you were saying how you and sujeet dressed up and basically switched countries (which i thought was really cute :) )
sometimes nizzar would tell me that he wants to dress up as a cowboy ... and i would tell him that he couldn't be a cowboy AND an indian at the same time! sillyness ... always. ... and there are only 10 more days seperating the two of us, so, naturally, i'm excited!
I'm excited for you!! :)
I'll go check out your latest xanga post!!!
Have a good evening!!
