the war is over, and we are beginning.

here it comes, here comes the first day. it starts up in our bedroom, after the war.

my night is ending with stars. but let me tell you about the beginning.
i spent today by myself, but i wasn't lonely. i spent my entire day watching parts of movies, full movies, wreaking my journal, and on and off of facebook and twitter. I was watching this foreign IFC movie, called Dead Snow. A norwegian zombie movie, where 6 friends go on a ski trip in an isolated cabin. Sounds like the typical horror movie. But i bet you never seen this this one coming: they get attacked by World War II Nazi soldier zombies. awesome, i know. (I say awesome, as in entertaining, and not scary). I fell asleep towards the end though. I've caught enough flesh eating zombies and brains and intestines and blood to call myself satisfied. After my nap, I proceeded to watch Slumdog Millionaire. One of the most beautifully shot movies my eyes have ever seen. seriously, just the visuals of it, the movement, the picture .. phenomenal. Soon after, AUX TV had a one hour billy talent special. It featured footage from their canadian tour (one of the best concerts i have been to, for many many reasons), and then a full half an hour of their videos. best hour of my day right there. After switching between MTV News, Sex and the City, and watching about 20 minutes of the Lovely Bones, I've retired to my room, put in my ipod & started reading the graphic novel Persepolis. I had the option of studying this in English 20, but chose another, and i probably wouldn't be reading this now if i haven't watched, and fell in love with the movie about 4 months ago. I watched it on a day similar today, one where i do absolutely nothing productive, and just relax. I needed today. I really really did.

one more side note: isn't it crazy, that if I didn't mention that one concert, i probably wouldn't be talking to you, and i probably wouldn't be as happy as i am now? i thank that band. and i thank you for going, and i'm so glad i mentioned it, because you could have so easily slipped through my fingers. i was two words away from never knowing you at all.
