i ended up going to the movie by myself last night- which was cool. i enjoy seeing movies alone. i don't think movie going is meant to be a group activity. unless you're on a make-out date, which is why i'm looking forward to no country for old men... or you have a jerry and elaine camaraderie and penchant for ribald comedic movie wit with someone, but i make myself laugh in my head more than anyone else so it doesn't really matter to me in my old age whether i'm with someone or not.

the movie itself was really cool. if you don't like bob dylan, you will be bored and think it stupid i imagine (however it is a much more rewarding cinematic experience than bob's own similarly odd masked and anonymous). if you do like bob dylan, you will listen to his music on random when you get in your car and you will put on your rayban's when you get home. you might even go on ebay and look for a polka dot shirt before realizing you're a teacher and teachers don't wear polka dot shirts. neither do most normal people.

man, but bob dylan was (and is) so cool. wanting to look like him is sort of the grown up version of putting on superman pajamas to impress friends. which i did. when i was much, much younger. allegedly.

some features of bob i've tried to emulate:
polka dot shirt. being mean. nodoz. a not full beard. triumph motorcycle shirts. bad poetry. good poetry. being funny. mumbling. singing off key. singing. living off candy and coffee. being a hermit. not making sense. not putting my roots down. creating different characters to cover up the real me. being christian. being apathetic. wearing boots. old things.
