Oh, I saw this wonderful movie yesterday! Tadpole, the story of a 15-year-old boy in love with his 40-year-old step-mother was much more than I thought it'd be, and once again, I was reminded why I like Aaron Stanford so much as an actor. I seriously laughed so much, and was pleasently surprised at how good the writing was. The characters were pretty engaging, too - the weight of the movie fall on Oscar's shoulders, and he doesn't disappoint as an interesting, complex character that has the perfect mix of adolescent yearning to impress and a mature mindset. Visually, no, the quality isn't that good, but the script and the acting really make up for it, and I was seriously impressed with it. The music and the Voltaire quotes really add to it, and honestly, it closes with David Bowie's Changes - how can that go wrong?

Also, it reminded me why I like seeing actors performing completely different roles - there's not a speck of Oscar in Pyro, just like Pyro is a completely different person than Will Traveler. I just love that, seeing actors build people from scratch.

Ah, well, that felt so very nice after weeks of not seeing a decent movie.

Anyway, I'm still somewhat sick and my head feels as if it was filled with cotton, ugh. It did give me an excuse to not go out with some friends, though, which is good because I'm suspicious of their motivs and I wouldn't put it pass them to invite my ex and don't tell me about it so we could 'patch things up'. Which would be awful. *shakes head*

That with a flamenco classmate of mine having just entered my old high school and another one being in second year there and two of my cousins going there also and my brother being in the third and final year, I feel oh so very nostalgic for my high school. I miss the teachers, and I miss the hallways, and I miss stalking boys with my girlfriends and having heated discussions about the difference of pornopraphy and erotic art with my friends in my senior year classroom. Ah, nostalgia, thou art a royal bitch. ;___;

I did laugh, though, when my brother came home early from school because the deputy headmaster sent him back because his hair was too long, lol, and he had to go with my grandma, who lives three blocks away from the school, to beg for money to get his hair cut and when he got back to school said deputy asshole, Juan Andres, the bane of everyone's existance, told him it was STILL too large and my brother had to go and get it cut AGAIN, LOL LOL. It's soooo weird, he hasn't had it that short since he was like, 12, and I CAN SEE HIS FOREHEAD IT'S TOO STRANGE. XD

Anyway, I found this frankly awesome recipe for cinnamon roles and I'm itching to try it, but I've no idea where to get yeast, I always use baking powder when I bake. *scratches head* I did some research and apparently baking powder won't do this time around, though, so I really need to figure out where to get it. *sigh*

Other than that, I've been feeling somewhat crappy and sickly all day long and I'm bored like whoa and can't seem to draw anything at all. *fumes*
