yesterday

steph came over and we watched penelope, kind of like the worst movie ever but also kinda tolerable. remember how much i like garbage? it’s beautifully shot and her bedroom is to die for. half the cast have accents though and it seems to be placed in a city that is a composite of both the UK and New York City? either way she walks fast when she finally leaves her room and ten seconds later is in the heart of a metropolis and wouldn’t you know it her first day out all this magical shit is to be discovered, like, bubbles in the air all around. i can’t remember ONCE when i went outside did bubbles follow me down the fucking street. oh and a street fair/circus. brilliant.

later on we rented swenkas. i had been wanting to see it for aaaaaages. the little competition fashion shows just kill me, these guys have serious facial expressions and intense moves. i like that a lot of emphasis and thought goes into their socks too. there’s also a side story that is kind of a buzzkill but whatever, such are coming of age docs right? this movie will also highlight within you how much of a spoiled fucking asshole you are. after watching a few episodes of sweet 16 (thanks steph for pointing out i can watch them all for free on demand) earlier and then swenkas, oh man, i haz the guilt. shows like that on mtv are the reason the rest of the planet hates america.
