don't know if I'll find a way

Yesterday was a good day, despite the on-off interview bullshit. I planned out my meals for the week for my "crash diet" to get rid of the gut, ran 99% of Greenlake, and began my abdomen regime. And then Buffy was one of the best episodes I've seen in a really long time (maybe since the mental hospital one, although that was good in a different way), and finally Mark Farina kicked ass. Plus I got to talk with a cute gay boy. Although maybe he wasn't gay, but he did hit on* the Romanian. ("The question is, is he a gay straight man, or a straight gay man?")

I was watching François Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451. One of the few cases in which I've read the book first before seeing the movie. Heh. Anyway if you've read the book, you know what it's all about. The movie was of course quite well done, and I think I've fallen in love with Oskar Werner (who plays Montag). Not quite the same way I love Ralph Fiennes, more like the way I love Owen Wilson. The character was just really well-played, and I was likewise impressed with Julie Christie playing both the wife and the school teacher who turns him onto books. She wasn't great but she did pretty well considering that she was two characters. And of course the message gets across a little more powerfully when you can actually see pages crumpling in fire. I also thought it was a little, um, reactionary casting a German with blond hair and blue eyes as the main character. All in all a fine cinematic experience.
