Looking back a little
I saw "War of the Worlds" tonight, the movie was good and watching at the Marcus Theatre in Oakdale was an over stimulation of the senses. The screen was huge, the sounds were incredibly loud and you could even feel the ground shaking. I liked, it, I wish I hadn't seen it so I could go see it, again. My impressions were "Wow Dakota Fanning can scream like no other, someone shut her up NOW." and "Lasers are definately da bomb unless if aimed at you." I was just reading some of my blog entries from almost 3 years ago and noticed that my grammar and writing style was in much better shape than it is now. I also wrote with a lot more detail. My tone sounded more innocent and I think now I just sound more cynical. What happened to my writing and my English? Maybe I've been going back to China too often. I do notice that during the first couple of weeks that I get back, my English and my vocabulary isn't very good. I sometimes translate Chinese into English in my head before speaking and I often forget simple words like "refer", I think I need help. Tomorrow is the 4th of July. We have a tradition of meeting up at Michelle's house for a big BBQ. I love being at her house, but I don't really enjoy hanging out with the Yue family, they don't really give me that "warm" feeling you get around family. Oh well, most of them are just only my dad's cousins. So anyway, on a more positive note... I think I'm gonna sign up for a www.nicheflicks.com subscription so I can rent their movies online. They look very promising because they carry a lot of different films from different Asians & European countries. I love to watch movies from other countries, it gives you a good grasp on what part of their culture is like. Just like from watching Hollywood films you can basically feel that our country is about blowing things up and sex.
