saw vicky cristina barcelona. i think i would have liked it a lot more if penelope cruz hadn't been involved. that woman is unforgivably annoying. that voice!
and i really don't understand how that performance was oscar-worthy. she's always that character. it was like a mix between her characters in blow and non ti muovere. and there's nothing particularly mind-blowing about the yippy crazy lady thing. i didn't see a lot of movies this year (so i couldn't tell you who), but i find it very hard to believe that some other actress didn't turn out a more impressive performance. whatever, though. whatever. (oscars are silly, and for me this was confirmed when fucking crash beat brokeback mountain for picture of the year. uh, yeah, okay.)
however, javier bardem and scarlett johansson are two very attractive people. this was only the second javier bardem movie i've seen (the other being no country for old men) but now i kind of want to watch everything he's in because he's sexy in a really unusual way. and for some reason i feel like he'd be in a bunch of good movies. don't know why, though. and scarlett, she seems obnoxious in real life but i like her in the movies. ok, enough about that.

the (regular) hockey season wraps up next week. it flew by so fast this time. i really feel like it just started yesterday. i'm sad that there won't be any more kings games until october, but i'm also really excited about the playoffs. they kind of ruin my life, though, because i want to watch as many games as possible. but, you see, games are long and just one game costs three hours of your life. so watching more than one is really not an option... ...normally. oh god they haven't even started yet and i'm already worried about scheduling conflicts. (the trent extravaganza is going to take a week out in late may-- conference finals time!!! AHH!!!! )
speaking of trent, i can't believe how much i spent on tickets. i was only planning on going to two shows once i saw the prices, but then that somehow turned into three. and then when he randomly added santa barbara, i had to go. (did you see how tiny that venue is? it would be madness to skip it!). so now i'm going nuts working as many shifts as i can (and selling as much crap on ebay as i can) to pay for these tickets that i don't have money to buy. i guess i'm an american now-- buying stuff i can't afford on credit (in principle, since katie actually bought all of these). i feel like i'm in high school again, trying to scrape together to do stuff. it's like, really? ebay? EBAY?! it's kind of absurd, right? i have a degree from one of the top universities in this country, and my ass is selling old music memorabilia on ebay for dollars.
ok, wow, i'm done whining now.
