I don't know if I have already posted about Spanish, but I am taking Spanish I right now.  It's a 5-1/2 week course and it is pretty great.  I don't think I could ever learn a language without being totally immersed in it.  It starts at 8:00 every weekday morning and goes until 10:30.  So, it's pretty long and early.  

I was working the other day and a gentleman that I was helping said he is a recruiter for a financial supply firm and took my phone number.  Now he called and I am going to call him back to meet for coffee or something.  I am really hoping this is not some kind of scam.  That would totally ruin the whole ego boost this gave me.  I'm worried that he's some kind of pyramid scheme douche, but he didn't seem odd or too pushy.  So we'll see.

I just got back from the first part of a weekend intensive workshop for Production Assistants at Austin Film Society.  After tomorrow, I will be certified by Texas Film Commission to be a P.A. and be put in their directory.  So that's cool.  I want to find P.A. work I can do for free first, but part-time so I can, you know, survive.

We'll See.

Which Wich is Which? LAWL.

So, Luis and I went to a new place for lunch called "Which Wich".  They might as well call it "Which Sandwich You Choose = Delicious Wich".  'Cause that's what it was.  You write your order on a brown bag and have all of the time in the world to find out what kind of sandwich you want.  Not like in other, more NYC, sandwich shops.  (Subway((sp?))  It was great.  Cheese Whiz is one of the toppings you can get.  Wow!  It was really good.

Here is a picture of a sandwich unless you can't visualize it.

WE NAMED THE DOG INDIANA.

SPOILER ALERT

SPOILER ALERT

SPOILER ALERT

Ok, I am not planning on spoiling a lot of "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"  (misnomer) but It's hard to talk about why this movie failed and succeeded without talking about some things plot-wise.

Firstly, I love the 1950's era the movie takes place in.  I love how everything was wrong with society, from MacCarthy trials to the Cold War and yet the public spent their nights watching "Leave it to Beaver."  Indiana Jones is older and grayer and expect a bunch of "heartfelt" a.k.a. "fucking depressing" moments when he thinks on who he has lost in his life.  Harrison Ford is great.  What else is there to say about the man?  He's Indiana Jones.  Cate Blanchette(sp?)  is the nemesis role in this movie, and thankfully does not have any sort of romantic involvement with Indy.  I'm kind of scatter brained right now so I apologize if this is not in any kind of order.  ACTION SEQUENCES:

First and second action sequences were fucking awesome.  Third was actually filmed in CT (I remember when they were casting for extras).  Fourth(?) was a jungle chase that was extremely long and pretty good except for an odd "Tarzan"-esque sequence.  Big Ants are Big.  

QUESTION:

How do spiders get into EVERY ruin?

There are always webs.  How do they get in there?

THE END:

Like eating a large helping of cotton candy, you enjoy the ride but when you get to the end you think "I feel like vomiting".

Worst ending to a movie in a long time.  And I mean that for the end of the ruins sequence and the very last shots as well.

Oy.
