The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

My first day outside of the bedroom and not in a doctor’s office, with a camera.

Why did I wait so long to see this movie? It’s already regulated to the independent movie house. Not only that, it’s in the smallest of their theaters — the one that only holds maybe 45 people, five seats across.

I should’ve known I’d like this as I quite enjoy the way Wes Anderson has put stories together in the past. I can even accept Owen Wilson though I must stare at his nose whenever he is on screen.

This movie just gave me warm feelings all around: the sets, costume, music, actors and story— all so very, very good, in that normal kind of way that others call “off.”

Oh, I also received a camera from a friend in the mail the other day. Yesterday was my first chance to fiddle with it. I hate it very much yet I am grateful to have something to make the pain go away.
