This is going to sound crazy, but i could have sworn i felt an earthquake this morning. Nothing big, but a small tremor. I know i know...there are no earthquakes in Brooklyn, but something woke me up and i felt the ground shaking a little bit. now, if i lived at any of my old places i would have dismissed it as a loud truck going by, but my room is nowhere near the road. OK. maybe it was just a dream, but i remember my dream vaguely and it wasn't about an earthquake. Then when i knew i was awake, i lay there thinking if i had really just felt an earthquake...and then i felt a tiny tiny tremor. is this all in my head? i feel a little crazy. well, school is up and running. i'm starting to get somewhat busy, but not nearly as busy as i anticipated. I like the pace okay though. I guess it's better than being overwhelmed, but i feel a lot of it is DIY, which is nothing i'm not used to. I'm getting ready to shoot a short film, based on the postal upstairs neighbor who shot himself. The final script is completely different from my inital idea so i hope it conveys my original idea i had in mind. Mostly i just hope it doesn't suck.

I finally saw fahrenheit 9/11 this weekend on DVD. Even though I appreciated some parts of it, i have to say overall as a documentary it kinda sucked. The reason i didn't see it in the theaters, despite all the hype, was because Bowling For Columbine, although entertaining and amusing, left somewhat of a bad taste in my mouth. I like the questions that Moore raises, but i find his techniques to be a bit propogandistic(ok, all documentaries can be argued as propagandistic). I dunno. I hate to say it but moore is starting to look like the liberal's equivalent of rush limbaugh. I just found the piece and Moore's argument to be so fucking convoluted. Conjectures does not an argument make...i'm speaking specifically about the Bin Laden/King of Saudi Arabia/Bush argument. The parts that i thought were powerful were the "day before Iraq" was attacked with scenes of children riding a bike and smiling and being happy, which could or could not be the exact day before Iraq was bombed. Also, i thought the airport security part was good. The guy protecting the borders of Oregon could have been cut out. come on, you're making a fuckin point about the lack of security through some park ranger in Oregon??? I did find the film expressed a lot of the anger that i felt shortly after 9/11, with the color-coded warnings and absurd and arbitrary security around the country. oh, i also liked Bush reading to the kids and just sitting there like the fuckin' moron that he is. But, I felt Moore was trying to make too many points and trying to give a history type of lesson while trying to be funny and entertaining a la Columbine, which combined just invalidated all of his points, especially for "non-believers" (that is, liberal-minded folks like himself). Also, I don't know if he should have gone into the whole Carlyle Group thing. I think a more subtle documentary which conveys the same message on the Carlyle Group is Exposed. Also, the stupid movie got me in a huge fight with my boyfriend, and i didn't even like it that much.
