movies and metallic sweat
i've been watching a lot of movies. for posterity (or my own memory) here are my brief evaluations of what i've seen this week:
- Juno - Awesome. Keep listening to the soundtrack and want to see it again when it comes out on video.
- Cashback - Another youth movie. Also pretty awesome. Distracting that the star plays Oliver Wood in the Harry Potter movies, but I'd lost the sensation of hey, that's oliver wood! by the end of the movie. A really nice film.
- Suburban Girl - Having been a huge Buffy fan, I retain a loyalty to SMG and like to watch her romantic comedies. Stuff like this probably doesn't do anything for her career, but I really enjoy her more in something with some emotional range rather than in a horror movie. Nice.
- Once - nice but not earth-shattering. the improbability of an unrehearsed band getting a big, OTT GYBE-esque song perfectly right on the first take in a studio was a bit distracting. some nice moments between the two leads, though.
Tonight it's Oscars catch-up time: MM is coming over to watch some combination of Michael Clayton, Eastern Promises, or Across the Universe. We both saw ATU in the theater but loved it and want to see it again.

very odd experience on monday and tuesday of feeling like i was sweating chrome all day. decided to stop taking the vitamin supplements i had started. that sensation is gone today so.. yeah. i won't do that again.
