Blogging just to blog.

Random thoughts for today:

#1 In class they asked us if we thought "chick flicks" had any merit. I thought about it, and I was like you know what? They do. If only to satisfy our fantasies. There are all these movie geeks in my other class who are like, "Ohhh, this movie was completely unrealistic..." or "Ohhh, that movie is just generic and has no real meaning" blah blah blah. Ok, so maybe that's true, but not all movies are made to represent reality. Not all movies have some amazing life-changing commentary. Sure, I can be deep, but when I go out to watch a movie, I just want to be entertained. If a movie truly moves me or really makes me think, then hell yeah, that's a good movie. However I still think there is merit in films that simply make you laugh or put a smile on your face.

#2 I aim to compile a list of 100 things to do before I hit 30. I saw some guy on TV talking about it the other day and I thought "HELLS YEAH let's do this" because I think I have subconscious anxiety about growing old and not getting the most out of life or something (re: recurrent dreams about teeth falling out...hmmm). This task is harder than I thought! So far I've got listed - learn how to box (for real), break into statue place and get a photo with the life-size elephant, and get under the 1 hour mark in the City to Bay fun run. Physical fitness is required in all of these! Time to hit the gym!

#3 I noticed that I really like to make lists. What is up with that?

#4 Oh man. Banana bread is delightful.
