first bourne.

it's 12:45pm and i should be sleeping and getting some beauty rest.. gad knows i need it.. but i guess it's hot and after seeing hot i'm having no real desire to put myself to bed quite yet. that is, i've just finished watching the first of the bourne series. it was good, 'manly', and action-packed but i thought that marie-- the female lead/love interest-- really made the movie whole. to burst the bubble for those who haven't seen it yet and who must be living in a deeper hole than i, you find out bourne is in this messy predicament not because he wasn't good and made a mistake but because he had a heart-- couldn't kill some dood because of kids, basically.
i've started to watch movies on my computer. my dvd is broken. and i've actually been enjoying it. i'd say this is another part of me growing.. sideways. but maybe i'm moving past that lanky, awkward 'phase'. this past weekend i saw mr. and mrs. smith, which i thought, yeah, was bad, but fuckin' hilarious and prolly more enjoyable to watch after seeing all that has panned out on the entertainment sleeze front. then, i watched the family stone starring sjp, who's supposed to be hot stuff this weekend. and yes, there was still a long line outside the movie house on 86th st. today. i never got into sex so i don't know much about that, but in the flick i didn't think she was all that or much of anything. as simon says every now and again about an idol hopeful, it was pretty forgettable. the works she's done that i think are memorable are 'girls just want to have fun' [some dance movie, which she is/was.. a dancer] and footloose.. [o.. another dance movie..] hmm..
in any case, there's something about movies that i love-- the part where you get to pause reality and step into a whole new world/idea/concept/story.. welcome to the real world, m. ..times can be a lil boring at times. that shouldn't be the case..

social and algebraic stimulus at your finger tips...

i can't help but think how funny the facebook site is. and how you can, or it's possible to, reconnect with some of the most seemingly random people from your past. assuming you have no chapters that are too dreadful for you to ever want to re-open, it's kind of nice..
in other news.. well, there is none really. other than the fact that i actually truly enjoy tutoring.. one of my girls has an algebra I exam this wednesday so we've been meeting up for concentrated review sessions. problem solving questions were always my fav in math. i think it teaches you/one a good thinking skill set. here's a problem we did today [in my own words..]:
suzy went to this music store that sold cds for $11.50 or $7.50 a pop. she ended up buying 12 cds and spending $110 dollars. how many of each type of cd did she buy?

do do do doo do do do. do do do do do do do. bum bum.
are you smarter than a... ninth grader, in this case? comment me the answer and if you can't figure it out, i'm available for tutoring at very reasonable rates.. jsyk.

yawn. stretch. chatty fingers warm up.

it's amazing what the weather/seasons will do to you.. or me rather. it was just about this time last year that i started writing-- a lot lot-- and i would post on this very blog.. i wrote about anything and everything, i guess, that was going on with me at that moment. i tried to make it as raw as i could-- thoughts, feelings, etc... open and honest, after all, are the best policy. but a year later, after a hiatus/ hibernation, i deemed those pieces a lil too raw and nixed all but the first piece from view. hopefully they won't come back to haunt me when i'm rich and famous and this huge ass celebrity. [you'd think i'd learn my lesson after hearing about/seeing all those nude-y pics leaked to the media which were talked about over and over again as if it were really actual news..].
in any case, i recently joined this social networking site after a reunion i attended with childhood 'mates in my hometown of blah. it was actually nice to reconnect after an entire decade of leaving the bubble, and in effort to stay somewhat/more connected, i think i'll give this blog another whirl a la 2 thousand 8, second wind. it'll also be good writing practice.. it probably won't be as raw as the first round, but try my best i will as i write about my thoughts, opinions, point of view, daily nothings, worries, fears, annoyances, jobs, people, and even lil boys.. man, i wait for the day i meet a real one.. consider the minimal editing acceptable as raw foodists do foods baked below 160[?] degF. .stupid, i know, but whatever.
in recent news. i didn't spend my weekend amongst the frenzy of carrie and the women of sex and the city but i did watch a movie heavily centered around fashion, for the first time on my laptop no less.. oooh. ahh. impressive, i know.. umm.. meryll streep? anne hathaway? anyone?. ..devil wears prada. it was good too, i thought. i thoroughly enjoyed it actually.. even for a girl who's sooper highly unfashionable, there's something about fashion that is pretty enticing..
