along the road that is north to the future

- Today I was cleaning up and happened upon my 2002 calendar. On May 28, 2002, I played hooky from work and went to watch Spider-Man with her. I guess that was unofficially our first date. Who knew that would have led to me falling so hard and then hurting so bad? I hate Spider-Man. With great love comes great heartbreak.

- Swedish is not same as Swiss? Who knew?

- Sarah Palin's farewell speech: "...Soaring through nature's finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In the winter time it's the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn't it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs? And then in the summertime such extreme summertime about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than just some months ago, than just some months from now, with fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here, Mother Nature wins. It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future..."

- On Wednesday, I fell off the wagon. I ate pizza. I know, I am a big freaking loser who can't keep a promise to myself, much less other people.

- Is it just me, or is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince extremely boring? I was struggling to keep awake. But I must profess my (somewhat creepy) love for Emma Watson; she is turning out to be quite a looker. Also I really like the character Luna Lovegood - what a quirky and thus lovable girl! They were playing (500) Days of Summer next door. I wish I have somebody to go watch that with. Still can't do the movie alone thing.

- Watchmen - meh. Vicki Cristina Barcelona - fun (with a very good Penelope Cruz), except ending is kinda weak.

- All my favorite dancers are now eliminated from SYTYCD. I like the girls this season better than the guys, so I hope one of the girls win. But then again, we all know it's really about Cat Deeley.
