So I just got back from seeing Boys Don't Cry.  I have to review it for my Critical Survey class.  It's a troubling film.  Because I'm not sure why someone felt that it needed to be made into a movie.  It was disturbing, and not realy enlightening.  It had a not-quite revolutionary theme of tolerance and understanding and self-discovery.  Hillary Swank won the Golden Glober for best actress, and I think she deserved it.  But the film itself was nothing extraordinary.  Toward the end, when it got pretty graphically violent, a couple sitting at the front got up and walked out.  i don't know why you'd walk out of a movie after an hour and 40 minutes, just because it got a little gruesome.  Even if you hated the movie, you've already stayed that long.   Anyhow, I have to write a review of it.  And I'm not sure how.  I hate writing reviews.

    I had to go to class today to here a speaker, for the same class I have to write this review for. It sucked the fucking life outta me.  it was scheduled from 6-8, but lated till a little after 9.  So then I had to go see this downer of a movie.  I spent most of the time planning my new internet endeavor, "Mediawhore.net."  It's my new webzine.  i already bought the domain name.  Nothing's up yet, as I still need a reliabe ISP.  Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out exactly what it's going to be.  I've been working on slogans and taglines, but that's tough before I know what it's going to be.  Maybe I can hire some writers of ill repute.  Wel, not hire.  But I want "ill repute" somewhere in the slogan, to go along with the "whore" motiff.  I talked with PFC Katey a bit about it, and she's interested in witing something.  And I think I can talk PFCs Caryn and Kathy into writing something too.  I want this to be a legit magazine, updated regularly, and I want other people involved.  I really want this to be something, and I'm excited by the prosect.  But I'm still not sure what I want it to be.  It needs a theme around it. I suppose with a name like "Mediawhore," it already lends itself to a certain attitude.
    Anyhow, tomorrow, Daily Aggravations and Regrets celebrates its 1 year anniversary. I can hardly believe it.  But more on that tomorrow.
