I'd like to go see a movie this weekend. I was contemplating joining some friends for a 10:45 showing of Harry Potter tomorrow, but they can't do dinner and if I'm going to do this, it would be nice to make an event of it, do dinner, be social.
I'm interested in Shrek 2, Harry Potter, and Kill Bill 2. And maybe Troy.
Preferred locations for me are the Metreon and the AMC Van Ness.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Super Size Me are both still playing at select theaters, and I hear are well worth seeing.
Anyone interested in any of the above?

Jun. 3rd, 2004 08:47 pmBy the end of tonight, I'll be done grading more than half of the final exams, and have written a chemistry exam. Tomorrow my Algebra II and chemistry classes sit for their exams; then all I have to do... ALL I have to do is grade the remaining tests, enter them into my spreadsheet, and record those grades onthe report cards.
Next week, I have to be at the school, but I'm basically there to babysit. And then I'm done.
In case any of you are wondering, writing contract still not done. I suck, or something. He still hasn't contacted me to nag me about this. woot, or something?
Last night![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmett_the_sane and I made the mistake of going to India Garden on Folsom for dinner. I figured it was the Indian restaurant in my neighborhood so we'd give it a try. Big mistake. The food was bland (at least it didn't taste BAD), expensive (even for non-bland), and the service was slow.
Things are progressing well with both of my new love interests, I think. I got to knowdeedeebythebay much better over the weekend, and the more I get to know her the more respect I gain for her. I just wish I could come up with some brilliant idea that would fix their horrible problems. I was even forced, over the weekend, to lean on her. I don't think it scared her away, and I was impressed with her willingness and how well she handled the situation.
Meanwhile, I am now officially secondaries withemmett_the_sane. We had drama Sunday night... in the midst of it, I wasn't sure we could even be cuddly friends later, but I seem to have recovered from it remarkably fast. It seems to have been a momentary lapse in our growing involvement. It's still really weird, though, being involved with someone I saw so differently for so long. But damn, we're hot together. ;p
On a similar front, I've just emailed one of my lovers about maybe being something more than lovers. We'll see what he has to say...

It comes right after Nine Months, which I was watching. I thought I was in the mood for it but... I can't watch this right now.
There are too many lost dreams I left behind, too many possibilities I abandoned, hopes and ambitions destroyed.
I usually don't dwell on the past. Those of you who have been reading me for a while know that I'm very forward focused, sometimes even too much -- I should be more focused on the present, on being here now. But most of my focus is, quite frankly, on obsessing about what ifs regarding the future.
But this movie... it makes me think about the what ifs of the past. About my abandoned love of aerospace engineering, and then later of physics. The writing, the dancing, the poetry I've left behind.
I'm young -- only 23 -- and I keep on telling myself that I have more than enough time to be many of these things and more. And some of them... I can't be a physicist again. I won't put myself through that, I won't go there again.
I guess you could say I'm a dreamer. There are a number of things that I want enough that it makes me sad that I cannot do them or be them. But I can't be everything at once. And given that I was an unmedicated depressive, I do believe that I did pretty well for myself in college, even if I am no longer training to be a physicist.
But. Yearning. Apollo 13 embodies yearning, and I can't quite cope with that yearning tonight. Perhaps something more lighthearted.
