So there I am, watching Spider-man 2 with David and Karin at the Metreon, there are only about 15 minutes more of running time, __(name)__ is __(gerund verb)__ __(name)__ at the climax of the movie when -- SCREEECH -- the fire alarm goes off, the movie cuts out, and the audience is in shock. OH MY GOD. They DID NOT just do that. WHAT will happen?? What was going to be said?? NOOOOO!!! The evacuation of the building was accompanied by quotes such as, "I'd BETTER see some flames!"

But yes, we ended up watching the end after they restarted. Woohoo! And I agree with Ebert, definitely the best superhero movie I've ever seen. This may be because most superhero movies are crap [Batman & Robin, anyone? Daredevil? No? Good.], but it was just a great action movie anyway. Great special effects, and the dialogue was much improved over the last movie. I recommend it. Yes, go feed the Spider-man box office monster. :)

A light dinner at First Crush in SF before the showing was wonderful too. Mmm...seared ahi tuna and duck comfit. Magnificent! Thanks, David the Degenerate I-Banker, for treating the two unemployed people since I know you'll read this. Haha. Good times.

Also, I will be gone for a bit over a week after this Saturday. Family cruise from Houston to the west Caribbean - cheesily labeled "Texaribbean" by the cruise company. How cute. But yes, I am excited, and yes, you should be jealous. ;)

Yet once again, the Ha family will miss the Fourth of July at home. No fireworks, no friendly barbecues...sigh. I don't think our Planner of Vacations [aka Mommy] is particularly patriotic. Haha. Ah well. Miss me lots because that makes me feel loved. :)

Yes, it is a little odd that I decided to use correct capitalization in this entry, but it's my blog and I felt like it. Maybe I'm gradually becoming even more anal than before. You should have seen me relabeling everything in iTunes. =\ Uh-oh...I feel such pity for everyone if that is the case. :)

can you see me
floating above your head?
as you lay in bed
thinking about everything
that you did not do
'cause saying 'i love you'
has nothing to do with meaning it

and i don't trust you
'cause everytime you're here
your intentions are unclear
i spend every hour waiting for a phone call
that i know will never come
i used to think you were the one
now i'm sick of thinking anything at all

you ain't ever coming back to me
that's not how things were supposed to be
you take my hand just to give it back
no other lover has ever done that

do you remember
the way we used to melt?
do you remember how it felt
when i touched you? oh
'cause i remember it very well

and how long has it been
since someone you let in
has given what i gave to you?
and at night when you sleep
do you dream i would be there
just for a minute or two, do you?

back from camping. alas, i am battle-scarred: 10 mosquito bites in less than 3 days. how DO i do it? =P let's tally up the little souvenirs.
- 4 on the upper back
- 1 on the right side of my midriff during the only few minutes i was putting on sunblock in my swimsuit while at the campsite
- 1 on my right index finger, resulting in the knuckle swelling to twice its normal size
- 3 at the bottom of my neck which effected this cool bitten-by-mutant-vampire-with-3-fangs look
- 1 on the side of my right leg that looks like i'm developing a massive tumor

but really, i had fun. i love the dorks that slightly qualify to be my friends ;) from playing tetris with all the supplies to wandering down a stream barefoot to david and cher being ridiculously horrible at telephone, it was a goodgood time. i probably ate more sausages and smores than anyone would deem healthy, but mmm how delicious. actually acquired some semblance to a tan when we went to the beach too. hoorah.

-
i still don't get you. maybe i never will.

sometimes hope is so difficult to kill, even when your mind tells you it's obviously for the best. it wriggles through the net you cast, escapes in little tatters that quietly survive and grow back together if you're not careful. and the mere presence of that hope silently influences you to not try very much at all.

"Deathly" -Aimee Mann

now that i've met you
would you object to
never seeing each other again?
'cause i can't afford to
climb aboard you
no one's got that much ego to spend

so don't work your stuff
because i've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely

'cause i'm just a problem
for you to solve and
watch dissolve in the heat of your charm
but what will you do when
you run it through and
you can't get me back on the farm?

so don't work your stuff
because i've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely

you're on your honor
'cause i'm a goner
and you haven't even begun
so do me a favor
if i should waver
be my savior
and get out the gun

just don't work your stuff
because i've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely
