hehehe... hmm... re pearl harbor... i think i'm just jaded. seen too much and p.h. didn't add anything original to the mix.
well, also i feel that a film has a responsibility to put death in a moral context. otherwise it's boring and senseless. maybe that was the sort of idea that the creators were aiming for... but i wasn't looking for a documentary. it might also be because i had read an article in time about how they digitally added planes and explosions and such, and so might have been focusing on that instead of allowing myself to be immersed in the film.
the opposite of pearl harbor: i really liked enemy at the gates. it used the wwii conflict over stalingrad as a backdrop for a love triangle and an intense personal conflict between two snipers. but hey, to each his own.
annie: dorian gray! that book is great. oh... open question: what book(s) have you always wanted to read, or read and enjoyed immensely? i plan on doing a lot of reading over the summer, and am looking to build a list of recommendations.

Prom tomorrow-wow, the year went fast. Today was my last full day at school, since I'm exempt from all my finals, and all the teachers are doing is reviewing. We're leaving for the shore late tomorrow night, and Lisa, you made me even more stoked to go-since you had such a great time! Hope the weather is good. My summer reading book for CU came in the mail a few days ago. It's a bit...shall we say, dry??!! Oh well, I'll procrastinate that til the end of the summer anyhow. It's so nice, not having to worry about anything anymore, all assignments are in, all tests are taken, now I just go to the mall or the movies every day, and all the senior activities-the senior bbq, awards night, etc. And revel in the fact that for the first time in YEARS, I feel totally free....ahhhhhh
