it looks like i haven't posted about anything that's actually happened at home. i have no excuses any more, i don't have any more college, or much to do at all. even though i had prepared for the course ending, (since i was going away twice and all) i really wasn't prepared for the amount of stressing over the work. i also began to dislike certain people a lot. i don't think i would've coped doing my final year there, if i had to be stuck with all the same people again. 

during my second last day, i skipped loads of time by going to the first screening of moonrise kingdom. i left college really early and walked to the cinema slowly thinking i'd be there just in time. i was super early. as in, they were screening an old news reel beforehand, and the cinema tour guide invited me in instead of waiting.
i paid extra to sit in the fancier seats on the balcony, which is the only part of the cinema i've never watched a film from (apart from the bar and the tiny room that they hardly ever screen films in). it was so comfortable, except no one else had paid extra for those seats, so i was alone apart from the usher. this was awkward at the end, cause i wanted to watch all the credits, but i felt awkward and left halfway through.
but the film was perfect. really, i had goosebumps practically throughout, i cried a little. i must sound so soppy. wes anderson puts so much thought into every aspect of the film, and you can clearly see it in moonrise kingdom. i also was particularly impressed by the main actors who are both children. their performances were flawless, i'm looking forward to seeing them in more things. hopefully with them starring in a wes anderson film means they'll be in more things like that rather than ridiculous disney kid films.

i'm considering seeing it again soon, if i have the time and money.

since i've finished college i haven't done anything extraordinary. i've had a lot of wine!!!

i specifically had a lot at 2 jubilee parties on monday. ridiculous. 

i also finished watching community, and i'm really really sad because i've grown to love it a lot more than i did. it's so hard to tell if the next series will be all that good, since there's so much gossip about it~

and the past couple of days i've spent with leyla watching films.
on thursday we watched the japanese film confessions, which we had both been excited to see. except we were both a bit disappointed by it cause the narrative was weird. it's one of those films i've grown to like after i've watched it, i feel like i'd appreciate it more after a second viewing.
and the next film we watched was it's kind of a funny story. it was so stupid. it's one of those films that basically tell you that you can only be content with life if you're in a relationship, which is bullshit. the only reason i liked it was cause of zach galifianakis. other than that, i was pretty much annoyed by everything, because it was totally inaccurate.

and yesterday we watched stephen king's it. 3 hours long, man. wasn't prepared. the first half was watchable, but the second half may as well have been a kids film. i don't understand how they couldn't have made it shorter? or a better ending? 

then we watched leon the professional. this was my favourite film out of the past 2 days. it was another perfectly made film, and probably my favourite natalie portman performance ever.

right now i'm getting excited for next week. tenacious d on tuesday. first time i'm travelling for a gig (other than fests, but it's not the same), and it's the first time in a big arena since my chemical romance in 2007?  

then nofx on wednesday, with the aftershow party. getting pissed with fat mike and co

then blink a week later. perfect summer~
