so i have finally achieved true cool status. the boom! section in the Star featured an article on blogs, and since we all know said section is the epitome of hipness, i am basically, the coolest person ever, or at least ranked.
so i saw Bruce Almighty last night after the AY grad. which by the way was super weird. i now understand why people are so reluctant to go to their hs reunions. it was very cliquey, but not in a really bad way. i mean how can you blame people for just talking to the ones they know? it's been eons for some people, and any possible commonalities are eroded over time. so it was a lot of surveying the room, seeing who was there, and furtively sneaking huge bunches of grapes. it was funny though, when john m. came into the room. as soon as he saw leo, he made a beeline for mr smiley, and every moment after that. leo is so good though, and was really cool every time. i know a few people who would have been really annoyed, but not leo. he's coolness. and as for the possibility of me going to a 10yr UHS reunion? i spout words of protest, but i bet that i will be seduced by the idea so much, that i'll end up going and having a not-so-good time =) i know myself TOO well.
anyways, as for Bruce, i was sort of reluctant to see it, thinking it would be a schticky riff on Christianity, and in some ways it was. but actually it was a lot more serious than i expected which was kind of cool. i liked the fact that jen aniston's character was a praying fiend (note to self: can copy jen a in this respect), and jim carrey's character arch was pretty strong. expected, but still solid. so good job tom shadyac, may your film-making skills be blessed =)
i went to my first JET orientation tonight... it was pretty cool. Tina is going to Japan too! and this guy John who used to go to UHS, and whose twin i think i met through tamanna during my forgettable stint in Canada FIRST. His twin Matt and he go to SCBC with Tina. I realized that i have a ton of prep work to do before I go over there. List? OK!!
1. Make a video of T.O. including the following: UHS, UT, family incl. Remy, church, JCCC, Chinatown, Jays game, Loblaws, hmmmm... stouffville? oooh! strawberry picking!
2. raid Sandylion
3. ask MP for pins
4. omiyage a la LCBO... too bad Laura's not working there anymore
5. buy a suit... i think i really do need one
hmmm... laptop getting hot. shall leave and call Liz.
