Hot Like Ebola!!!: Reviews and Announcements

Star Wars: Definitely worth the 7 bucks to see it the first time, but probably not worth the 7 bucks to see it the second time. The dialogue was just... lacking. The truly good actors were able to (barely) rise above their bad scrpit, but the others just couldn't, really.

Crash: This was a really, really good movie. Very powerful and thought-provoking. Matt and I had a long discussion after the movie about our own prejudices.

Sometimes I think that because my prejudices are not for ethnic groups, they don't really exist. But I realized that I view people who hold lower socioeconomic status than me in a negative light. I don't know if that is made better or worse by my poor upbringing. Am I afraid that if I associate with the lower class, I might "catch" being poor again? That I would become just like my mother and smoke and drink and curse in front of my children? That I would become numb to the people around me who abuse their spouses or children, or do those things myself? Having experience of "what life is really like" when you're white trash doesn't necessarily make me a more understanding person. Any thoughts on this?

Anyway, As I told Rebecca, I don't know if I'll make it down to the wedding. If I get this job at Petsmart, I will not be able to make it down. But if I don't, I think I will be able to. I really want to come down and I really want a job. boo.

Just like that "cultural awareness" exersise that Whitworth did for it's leadership training, that made all the rich kids realize they were rich and all the minorities, feel like poor, divorced, adopted, ethnic, lower-classed, shouldn't be conisdered main-stream whitworthians.

Oh that. No biggie.
