so

Again I feel bad b/c time has passed and I want to blog more and I'm not sure why I'm not blogging more except it doesn't feel like I have all that much to say, so why say anything (you say it best when you say nothing at all, go the lyrics of that crappy song to which all people danced in high school, sometimes me when I decided it was worth it to slow dance with someone).
Anyway, so what's up w/ me? I saw Alice in Wonderland. OK not great. In fact, frankly disappointing. I didn't watch it in 3D and I don't know whether that would have made all the difference in the world but quite frankly I don't think that would have been the case. The movie lacked dramatic tension, was full of cliches, wasn't that aesthetically all said and done (especially given that we were in Wonderland) and the characters did not make that much sense -- I didn't understand their motivations often for why they did what they did. So kind of a waste of time.

I saw the Oscars. Well parts of thanks to work. Interesting. I suppose. Given that I have not seen most of the movies I was not in a position to evaluate or judge. I'm surprised that Sandra Bullock won Best Actress, although I say this w/o having seen the movie but just b/c I don't really think of her as a great and talented actress, more of a commercial actress. I mean, I loved Speed, which I think came out when I was in my late teens b/c the bus was about to explode if it went below a certain number of miles per hour and hey if that isn't dramatic tension than what is, but tastes change as you grow older. No?

What else? Oh I don't know what to say. I discovered an artist thanks to The Artist Formerly Known as the Loch Sess Monster - Florence and the Machines. I really liked some of her songs last week but this week I'm not so sure. Oh what am I sure about anymore?

New resolutions:
Movies
Books
Music

Which means more posts.
