kotohiki

that is the name of a girl who was killed pretty late in battle royale, which was stuck in my head the whole time i was sick and kind of feverish (the last four days). today i felt better, so i cleaned the room a little bit and then took myself to see a movie. the only other time i have gone to a movie by myself, it was because of a misunderstanding - i think it is actually pretty common here in portland because we have the second-run three dollar movie theaters. you can weed out the movies that just have good previews from the movies you actually want to see, and if those are different from the movies the people you usually go to the movies want to see, no big deal because it's only $3 to go by yourself, pretty much the same as renting, and sometimes $2 if you go in the afternoon, better than some renting. well, i had a great time.

i saw stranger than fiction. my opinion is, i am no longer going to listen to lizzy acker's opinion about movies. she panned it, but it was totally fine. i completely enjoyed it and it was a fine use of a sunday afternoon. then again, if i had paid full price for it, i might feel differently.
