@ 8:16 a.m. Last night Courtney and I went to see the Weather Underground at the Capitol Theatre. It was part of the film festival and the theatre was jam packed. I guess it was one of the most popular films in the festival. It was really good though. I can't believe these people actually dropped out of society for years and lived underground. While living underground they plotted attacks and planted a few bombs basically in buildings that represented democracy and capitalism. It's so crazy. I always forget how long the Vietnam war actually was. More than ten years long I believe. I hope the war on terror isn't that long. My mom said that Americans weren't really aware of the war until the late 1960's, even though it started in 1965 I believe. It was a really interesting film though. I can imagine being against the actions of my government so strongly and the feelings of frustration that comes when non-violent actions seem to solve little to nothing. But I know I couldn't ever get violent about it. I couldn't hurt anyone if I wanted to. Though I do want to learn kung fu and maybe I'll karate chop people when I learn that. Now I want to see all the films in the festival. It's not fair. After the movie last night I parked in my driveway to find my garage door opener. As I opened the door to get out and search my car, two coyotes sprinted actross the cul de sac, and into the area where they're building a new house. I'm almost positive they were coyotes because I looked up pictures of coyotes on the internet when I got inside. They weren't that close to me or anything but it was still crazy to see them. That means we HAVE to make sure Gabby's in every night because on the net it said one of the coyote's favorite snacks are cats. For like four days when I haven't been working, I've been trying to download John Mayer's new cd "Heavier Things." I finally have all the real album tracks except one. I kept making cds with mostly live versions of the songs. Oh well, so I have a few John Mayer cds. I LOVE THE NEW ALBUM though. It is so, so good and very different from "Room for Squares." Since Heavier things is only ten songs long I put some sexy live versions of my JM favorites. So I have a full cd of John Mayer goodness. I really want to see him live and acoustic. I think he would be better than he was all rocking out. Part of me knows that I"m just happy someone came out with a new album because I know I'll have to wait indefinately for Elliott's. Nobody could ever replace Elliott obviously, but I'm glad to hear a new album from a good artist. And John Mayer doesn't drink or do drugs which is so conducive with staying around for awhile. Mom told me that Dad might be taking Ben and I out for dinner tonight, so I should probably come home early. I said sorry but I am working out after work since I skipeed Monday and Tuesday. Also I am trying really hard to quit smoking again so I need to exercise today or I'll fall asleep forever. Seriously, cigs are almost as good as morning coffee. Ok I'm done here.
