weekend ends. catastrophe of jenny lyn's cousin's party rendered our friday night dead in its tired, sober tracks. the dangerous lives of altar boys. church. lots of kids at my house with many video game platforms working together as a central thread. hip hop rodeo. anthony's cousin's birthday party. jennifer's (jenny's cousin) house. malena (monica bellucci = omfg). rhapsody in august (akira kurasawa = still my favorite director). and if you couldn't tell already, all of the things in italics are films.
