'Crash'

Well I just got back from Arclight from watching 'Crash' and I was sitting next to Nicole Richie & her boyfriend (DJ AM) L.A. is funny that way, I'm used to seeing celebrities around at some of the events and stuff but it's funny when you run into them doing normal stuff. They have assigned seating at Arclight and I wasn't in my 'assigned seat' so all of a sudden, turns out I was in Nicole's seat but she was cool about it, did'nt ask me to move & just sat down 1 seat over from me.

Well about the movie....'Crash' was very good, it's a great story full of alot of characters full of problems & about racial differences and tensions & sterotypes. As the movie goes on you begin to see how we're all connected and the same but we have our differences as excuses for our behavior sometimes. It's not your usual sappy story where at the end everyone is together singing cumbaya, it ends as it started but with a vested interest in the characters....understanding each of their life problems and struggles. I cant really explain the movie, I just read what I wrote & I'm making no sense.....just go see it =)

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

Well things are finally in motion in regards to my move to Barcelona. It looks like my departure date will be Sept 28th, I start classes on October 3rd! I finally sold my Toyota & this week I am putting my BMW up for sale. Until I leave I will be driving my brothers Pathfinder (he has another car he drives) I am also finishing up my student Visa paperwork & geeeezzz it's ridiculous the stuff they ask for! I have to get a freakin letter from the FBI stating that I'm cool to go & another one from my doctor saying that I'm in good 'Mental & physical health, free from any contagious diseases & addictions' Besides that I have been looking at different housing options near the University.

In other news I get to go with my bro this year to the Toronto Film Festival, as his movie will also be playing there. We'll be flying into Buffalo, NY on the 18th and driving 2 hours to Toronto so that we can pass through Niagra Falls on the way.
