when you expect a lot from a movie you usually end up feeling disappointed afterwards so i figured if i already know that a movie's a tearjerker then i won't cry as much. but noooo... i cried right about from the start 'til the end of if only. lech! i love that movie. a bit weird on some parts (the standing ovation) but on the whole it's a two-thumbs up. i finally got a copy of before sunrise. it's not as good as before sunset but it was nice. i also rented a room with a view. it was supposed to be a comedy but i didn't find it that funny.

btw, why is it that water tastes differently when sipped from a straw?
