"better"? don't you mean "butter"?

lathrielWell, here we are again Eljay. And here's the poop:
finally got my word count going for NaNo- there should be an updated chunk here in lil' bit. Right now I'm around 10,000 (woohoo!) but the schedule I've set for myself requires that I make 12,000 by tonight.
Hmm.
The pain is getting better. Inversion tables are super-fun and make vertabrae feel good. I think the active release is helping a lot, and maybe even the other chiropractor, and maybe even the shaman (if you missed that entry, yes, that's how outstandingly desperate I was to get rid of this). (by the way, the bison is my power animal :) I still have plans to be 75% better by November 15th so I can join that yoga class... we'll see, though.
And last but not least, I saw Jarhead last night. Personally, as a writer, and as a person who has no education in film, I thought it was very good. Definitely worth $8.50 to see it in theaters.
It was based on an autobiographical book by Anthony Swafford, for those of you who didn't know- Jake Gyllenhal playing Tony Swafford. I found it to be a very interesing film because it didn't have a definite story. Not in an artsy fartsy pretentious way, either. It was more about the people, the marines themselves. It was about humans, in the desert, with guns, listening to the weapons of the enemy in the distance. Kind of. It wasn't political, and it wasn't "look at me I have something to say about war and violence." It was just the authors own account of what it's like, emotionally and psychologically, to be a marine.
There was naked christmas dancing and there was eating lunch among charred human remains. What else can I say?
All in all, I'd give it a 3 out of 5. I save 4 for "fucking awesome" and 5 for epics. 2 would be for movies like Corpse Bride, and 1 for movies like Rush Hour.
