SUPER DUPER UNRELATED POST TIME!
So, last Sunday my english class and I saw the "The Social Network" a.k.a the facebook movie. Jesse Eisenberg broke out of his usual awkward character in " Adventureland" and "Zombieland" and became angsty socially awkward character, Mark Zuckerberg. I found Marks character to be one of the most compelling because of his cockiness (is that a word?) and lack of concern during the court scenes (doodling on his papers). I felt bad for Eduardo (Edwardo?) and absolutely hated Sean Parker (though very well played by Justin Timberlake... what can't that guy do?). I had no clue the napster guy was involved with Facebook. Someone brought up to me how the movie's sexist. How those two girls found out Eduardo and Mark made Facebook and brought them into the bathroom for "business time." Basically most of the girls aside from Erica (Mark's ex-girlfriend) were portrayed as complete sluts. I'm not going into feminist mode, but I found that interesting. Did you guys know the Winklevoss twins were played by two different people? You had the one normal actor who looked like a twin and another completely different looking guy they put a face a winklevos twin face on with special effects. Apparently the director couldn't find real twins that looked enough like the actual Winklevos twins. Someone in class mentioned that the movie inspired them to make something big and the movie inspired me as well. Too bad I'm not a computer engineer but hey I'll think of something, right? Long story short: See "The Social Network"because there's a lot of drama, based on a true story (though fabricated), and great acting.

R.I.P. Diet. I hardly knew ye.
So, the diet is no more.... nor did it ever really start. Anyway, I've decided to start posting stuff about food instead of trying to avoid food (I'M NOT ANOREXIC). So yesterday was the harvest dinner. As I navigated through the hundreds of people and random people from town and sample stations (chocolate milk was sick!) I encountered a ridiculous amount of different kinds of food. Unfortunately I was reminded of how I'm a ridiculously picky eater. Out of all the food like squash and carrots and mashed potatoes and blah blah blah I only got the rice pilaf and chicken (Wow I just realized how boring this post. My friend who is reading over my shoulder just said "nothing about your life is interesting." Thanks for the pick me up, Emily) Anyway, are any of you picky eaters and how does it feel to live with this burden? Seeing so much food and realizing you can only eat a little of it is truly a tragedy in my eyes.
Okay now time to watch six feet under:)
