titles are so out right now

There are some people in my life whose taste in movies I generally trust somewhere between 95% and 100%. My mom is one of them. Tom is another one of them. Tom and my mom BOTH loved Rachel Getting Married. WTF? It has made me completely question my reaction to that film. Or, it at least has made me calm down a little bit about it. But, after giving it some more thought, I’m going to stand by my opinion that it sucked ass. I have seen some good movies in the past week though. Milk made me cry for, like, an hour and a half. Happy Go Lucky was quirky and fun and completely likeable. I’ve Loved You So Long made me think about life and relationships. Role Models made me laugh a lot (specifically Jane Lynch…I think I will always see her as Joyce Wishnea).

I’ve started watching the show Damages and I’m really into it. I’m so addicted to television shows. They just suck me in! I can’t help it!

I spent St. Patrick’s Day with Laryne and Ramen. We told ghost stories. They told me about this super haunted spot that they’ve been to in, like, Pleasant Grove or something. And I TOTALLY want to go check it out one night. I’ll keep you guys updated about my ghostly experiences.

I’ve been thinking about some steps I might want to take towards making my life richer and more fulfilling. Like, going back to school, or volunteering for KRCL, or stand up comedy. That last one is something I cannot stop thinking about. Because, making people laugh is pretty much my favorite thing ever. And I have never ever thought of comedy in a career-sense, but…it’s a total possibility. I don’t know. I think I could be good at it. What do you guys think? I’m pretty funny, right? I guess I'd just hate to be that asshole who thinks they're funny but really they just try too hard, or something.

Ali! I think you would be a totally amazing stand-up comedian because you always have me crying laughing once you get going. You should do it!
Also, how excited are you for Amy Poehler's new show? Do you know when it starts?

Dude. There's this podcast called Anything Ghost. You would fucking love it. Not ONLY is it lame ghost stories from people all over the nation (and uh, sorta world. If you count US, Canada, and Europe the world..) the dude that hosts it rocks. You would know what I mean instantly if you listened to it. Anyway, you need to listen to it. But you only need to listen to one because mostly you just need to submit some stories. Or at least one. I want to submit one, but I might have to make it up because I don't really have any.
