So much squeeing!
Aug. 24th, 2009 09:28 pmFirst of all - I have a job interview at the Clarion Hotel tomorrow. ^_^ Completely unexpected, but not wholly unpleasant. It's a nice place, the rehearsal dinner for my wedding was held there. Anyway, hoping for something front desk part time if I can. Otherwise I do have other options since I applied to a Montessori school today (and have my resume out to other places as well).
Secondly, just watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I've been doing a Jones movie night for the last four days - leading up to Crystal Skull since I started watching it while waiting for for a friend to finish at the plasma donation center (and got an hour and fifteen into it, I found out tonight). To this I have to say: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, if you're going to do anything with aliens, stick with Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind respectively. Not that it was bad - it IS a send up to the B-action movies of the 1950s and all - but there were some parts where I just sort of sighed and rolled my eyes. But what the hell, it's a fun movie, made me laugh, and kept me entertained for two hours (though for parts of it I was doing other things, like mending a dress or updating Facebook or taking calls regarding interviews). John Williams is a genius with the score, as always, and it was nice to hear Marion's theme again. And since we're on the topic of Marion, there's really no woman for Indy than spitfire Marion Ravenwood, probably the only woman who could best Indy, PERIOD.
And Harrison Ford. The man has aged brilliantly. :3 Even in his mid-sixties, he's kicking like he's in his forties...like he was when the ORIGINAL movies were done. Shia LaBeouf is amazing as Mutt, who is a greaser with a prep school upbringing. The leather jacket and the motorcycle - yeah, pretty nice. He's an amazing actor and there will be great things to come in his future.
/rambling.
I'm excited about my interview - tomorrow will be spent in my closet going, "What the hell am I going to wear?!"
