well i was halfway correct yesterday: i only had to make one phone call, and i didn't have to go to the mva after all. it seems that my faxing in the letter within 60 days counts, and they're not going to penalize me for the california dmv's sluggish reply to paperwork. the state will call me when they get my title in, and all will be well. unfortunately, my inspection certificate expires in 30 days, so i've got to get a temporary [one year] registration and temporary title in the meantime if it takes longer than those 30 days. not so bad, really, in the end.
today i did a whole lot of nothing, with the exception of sitting on hold for an almost criminal length of time, until christin came home. we played with the animals a bit and headed out to the mall for our weekly tuesday night date. this week, we splurged and got dinner at the mall as well as going to our $6.00 tuesday movie at the cinema. christin had a teriyaki chicken bento box at the sushi joint which smelled and tasted amazing [the chicken, not the sushi] and i had a chicken sandwich at chick-fil-a [wheat bun, baby] and fries from five guys. it was delicious.
we saw 'the facebook movie' which was as much about facebook as troll 2 was about trolls. it was interestingly written and played, as all the factoids about facebook and its development were all things we already knew. it was the interaction and drama between the characters that i had not heard about, and the acting was wonderful. the dialogue was speedy and sometimes overbearing, almost like an episode of gilmore girls at times, but it was well executed in the sense that the main points got across through the technical speak. it was a good movie.
it was very fincher, in my opinion. not just the typical, dark and brooding backdrop and fincher's trademark color palette, but the feel of it. the underlying depression, despite the fact that every single thing possible seems to be going well as can be for the protagonist. the manipulation that undermined the other characters, one way or another, and the very sad ending. i guess you could call it an ending, i wasn't really impressed with the way it ended. there was no real resolution in the end, but i guess that's what happens when you tell part of a story that's probably still in the process of developing. i guess. i should look it up.
anyway, that's enough of that. after i got home and christin went to sleep, i set about thinking of what to do until 2am when i had to take my medication. conveniently enough, i noticed that my buddy from youtube named peter was hosting a tinychat, so i hopped in. i got on cam and typed, because i couldn't really talk while christin was sleeping a mere 6 feet away, and it was a good time. i recognized most of the people there, but a few were new faces, and it was fun to just chat and socialize. a good end to a good day. tomorrow will be interesting, depending on if i do what i think i want to do with my time tomorrow. goodnight.
