so first, I got my anthro midterm back. I got a B! It’s not too great, but I expected faaar worse from how I was feeling when I walked out of that thing. so a B is cause for happiness. :)
secondly, I went to office hours for my history of california class. we had a really awesome discussion… and plus my professor remembers me! heheh, or at least she humors me into thinking she does. :)
thirdly, I ran into a bunch of people on campus today: jason kwong on bruin walk, cindy lee from my building freshman year, and anthony camara. anthony camara has always been one of the most interesting people i’ve met since i’ve been here. he’s always steady, yet he always makes time to read some very intriguing books and listen to great music in spite of doing massive amounts of work for his majors in biology and english. madness. anyway, got to talk and catch up with him this afternoon. it was so nice to see him again!!
Anyway, tonight, jer and i were going to go help bobbo celebrate his birthday, but jer had to work late and we couldn’t make it to dinner in time. so we stayed in, picked up some Fatburger (baby fat, king fat, and chili cheese fries!! whoohoo!), and cozied up with The Bourne Identity. The whole time we were watching the movie, I was trying to figure out what the hell Julia Stiles was doing in it. She was doing a part that any young starlet could play, that wasn’t any sort of stretch at all, and didn’t require her star power to illuminate the role any way. in fact, her being Julia Stiles overshadowed the very marginal role she had. (I have a pretty dencet respect for Stiles — She was terrific in “ten things I hate about you” and “state and main,” and i hear she held her own opposite stockard channing in “the business of strangers.”) But the other actors were very good. I really like Franka Potente, and she’s the fire in the story. She’s much sexier than Matt Damon, hands down. Chris Cooper turned in another good performance (his previous one was as the military man neighbor in American Beauty)as the man in charge of the secret government program responsible for Bourne’s super-fly spy skillz. The movie itself was all right. Maybe it’s something I should have seen in the theater, since it’s not terribly impressive acting or storyline-wise. The story was intriguing, but it didn’t really feel very satisfying. Just kind of… “eh.”
Tomorrow should be fun.. get to celebrate anthony choi’s bday!! woohoo~!!!
