the bunch of us went downtown yesterday after skool. we ate burgers at an old fashioned diner style white spot restaurant. i wish i had my camera with me there, because there was a checked tiled floor, a jukebox, a ceiling fan, leather booth seats, and bathrooms marked "guys" and "gals". it was so retro awesome...

dave, rox, and i went to see blood diamond at paramount afterwards. ummmm leonardo dicaprio is amazing in this movie. it's about conflict diamonds in sierra leone, a story about smuggling, deception, controversy shit. it was even more intense than "hotel rwanda".

Set against the backdrop of the chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), an ex-mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories and their circumstances are as different as any can be until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond, the kind of stone that can transform a life...or end it.

during the last 30 seconds of the movie i felt myself crying. it was like, two teardrops though. drip drip. it was pretty gory/graphic, but my god it was fantastic. *obsession* i've raved about this movie to everyfuckingbody i need to STOP.

after the movie rox and i went to lara's house and then we talked like weirdoids while laughing hysterically like hyenas at various things. yknow. then we watched YET ANOTHER MOVIE, "my girl". so goddamn 1970s all-american and heartbreakingly cliche. and i lovelovelove it.
