trip cancelled!

my family and i were going to go to kao shiung tomorrow for the weekend, but the typhoon is spoiling our plans.: ( so i guess we'll either be going next weekend or not at all. which is alright, since we've been there for two consecutive years already.

besides driving and reading the novels, i've been watching a movie almost everyday. i watched "the tracey fragments" yesterday afternoon. it was a film that showed the uglier side of life. ellen page was a victim for major bullying at her high school because her chest wasn't very big.the last scene of the movie was very moving though. after she gets off of the bus in a shower curtain (she just escaped from a horrible apartment), she sees her ex-boyfriend but she keeps walking even though he tries to talk to her. and she says: "nothing can keep me still." it made me think: "wow.she's strong.she's going to get through this."

i just finished watching "my blueberry nights" tonight. Norah Jones and Jude Law! Natalie Portman was so good.she's like the girl version of Johnny Depp. SO versatile in her acting! it was pretty nice too. they're both artsy films (they way it's directed and filmed. so slow and dim-lighted). the ending line was good too: "it didn't take me too long to cross the street. afterall, all that matters is who's across the street, waiting for you." that's pretty true.: ) Jude Law is such a sweet guy.
