Timely!

Went to see 'Across the Universe' today. Yes, I finally found a theater showing it. God.

It was really good though. It really had emotional punch when it needed to (such as "Let it Be" playing during the Harlem Riots and "Strawberry Fields Forever" playing for Vietnam). I think that when the songs worked, it worked better than the best moments in, say, "Moulin Rouge". But when the songs didn't work, it really threw me out of the moment. Bono had a cameo and he was actually entertaining as this new world pot head philosopher. Eddie Izzard also made a cameo as Mr. Kite and, I have to say, that if I ever take LSD I want this movie in a lead box 100 ft underground because I know that if I saw this movie while under some kind of influence I would probably jump off a building. It was really fucking weird sometimes.

Finished the first season of "30 Rock" and it was amazing. I find different things to laugh at every time. Especially in Alec Baldwin, I think he is just the bees knees. He puts so much emphasis on his character that sometimes you don't notice the things that he is saying until a few seconds later and it is perfect because that is absolutely what talking to that character would feel like.

I have an audition for a comedic short tomorrow at UT. Get this, I was REFERRED to the director. How cool is that?! A referral! I feel so professional even though this is student, non-paid work. But, hey at least I get to kiss a sock puppet.
