GIANT

this weekend so relaxing for me ;)
i cleaned out my closet and i made a couple piles for goodwill, put all my clothes away, cleaned up my desk, did laundry and i put all my school work into organized folders. i feel greatttt about this. i even finished my math hw which i usually do on monday mornings before class xP i know, my definition of relaxing is a bit different from other people's but getting organized and cleaned makes me feel SO refreshed. i could have started my english paper that's due thursday but i felt like rewarding myself so i decided to watch a movie.

i watched my man godfrey last week for a history project and i loved it. it's a movie from early 1930's but wow, it was hilarious and i really enjoyed it. it was a pleasant surprise. so when i saw giant on my dvd shelf downstairs, i decided to give it a shot. it's another oldie and i guessed i might like it. the cover informed me that it was a clasic... and that it was 200 minutes long O.O but i kind of had the time so i watched it >.<

and i am in awe of that movie. it was made so well. the effects aren't laughable at all, and it is like... what a movie should be. it was a love story that isn't ridiculous and it was also about family and money and racism and texas. maybe it went a little too in-depth compared to the kind of movies we like watching nowadays but it was a good change from all the crappy movies i've been watching in theatres. it was my first elizabeth taylor movie. also my first james dean movie. boy, they can act !! i am so impressed by this movie. i never would've guessed i would be into a 1956 film. it sounds so nerdy to say i am glad i had that assignment for history... but i am. it made me give old movies a chance and i actually appreciate them.

i've been trying to not go out at all so that's why i have a lot of time on my hands. i love hanging out with my friends and going out to eat and things but times are bad right now. the economy is going on a downward spiral and it's not going to get better anytime soon, that's definite. it's taken an affect on me so i try to do everything at home. it hasn't been too bad yet. i read more, i do better in school and i watch a lot more movies and tv shows haha :) and when i do meet up with friends, we go out for a coffee or froyo. they're affordable and don't take long.

today i was able to meet up with nicole and try the salted caramel hot chocolate from starbucks. ohh lordy. it's thickkk. it's not thick in texture but it just tastes thick. you can't taste the caramel at all. which is a good thing. it tastes exactly like chocolate-covered pretzels but more hot chocolate-y. i like it a lot but i don't know if i like it more than the hazelnut hot chocolate. hmm...

i want to add one more thing before i go. so i've mentioned i've been watching a lot of tv shows lately. i watched the first two seasons a while back and i loved them. it is not like any other show, just the content and the characters. i got started on season 3 and it is SUCH a disappointment. it's the same thing but it seems like they're trying too hard with the plot. there are too many things happening to dexter that is screwing with his life. it just doesn't seem like the other seasons and they're trying to hard to get new viewers. it lost its excitement for me. *sigh* money ruins everything x(

night.
