"strange & beautiful" - aqualung

i went and saw this movie today. i liked the first one so i thought i'd enjoy the sequel. and well i did. it was cute and sweet, you know, everything needed in a typical "chick flick." the storylines were interesting, although since the film had to squeeze so much into a 2 hour time frame, some parts felt incomplete and left me wanting more. but like i said, all in all enjoyable.

the characters were all pretty likeable and even at times relateable. one part that really made me smile was when lena enrolls in a life drawing class. oh the memories. i can recall a few awkward moments involving some of my male models. although i never ended up dating any of them, it did make me a like uneasy when one of them ended up to be a guy i was sort of friends with. and then another guy ended up in my class the day after i meet him at a friends house. all i could think about was if i should talk to him or pretend i didn't remember him. totally awkward. and then of course i end up seeing him everywhere. he even ended up as the lead in a play i had to go see for another class. i thought actors were suppose picture the audience members naked not the other way around. yup, good times.

it did make me miss being in an art class though. i pretty much lived in the art building the last couple of years and it saddens me to know that i will probably never set foot there again. now that's a place that holds lots of memories, both good and bad. oh well.

another of my favorite part of the movie, just like it had been in the first, were any of the scenes that took place on santorini, greece because that place is simply beautiful. i would love, love, love to end up there one day. definitely tops on my list of places i hope to visit, only to be outranked by paris. if only.

haha, i just remembered how jamie once came back from shopping and bought this pair of jean shorts. she said although the size not what she usually wore she got them because they were on sale and need a pair like that and when she tried them on, they fit pretty well. for some reason i felt the need to try on these shorts, even though jamie and i are nothing similar in size, like at all. but guess what, they fit. then just for fun elise tried them on and voila! they fit as well. it was our own little sisterhood moment, though we didn't end up sharing them. in fact that was the last time i even remember those shorts.

well, till later!
