I am watching Zack and Miri Make a Porno for the eleventh time since Wednesday afternoon. I have found editing errors, single lines that explain so much, holes in character relationships, and have memorized (and can rap almost flawlessly) the first third of MC Chris's "Fett's Vette" (the part that's played during the "Star Whores" costume and camera test). Like, literally, I know the ins and out of this movie to a point that the knowledge I have amassed almost scares me. Also, I totally want to make sweaty, passionate love to Seth Rogen (sorry, John). Yes, it has been an eventful half-week.
So, John and I were discussing this last night. I had already realized that Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno (basically just forget Jersey Girl ever happened; I don't know if it meets the specifications I'm about to outline, and I don't care) all contained at least one cunnilingus reference, but last night, I realized that (ok, this is no big stunner) they all have at least one Star Wars reference as well. How did I not notice this before? No idea.
By the way, in case you couldn't tell, I love Kevin Smith. His movies are just the bees' knees.
I'm knitting ferociously while watching, too, because in the movie, Miri makes ONE reference to giving the girl who works at "Teen Juice" a good deal on yarn, and then you start to notice that every time you see Zack and Miri, at least one of them, if not both, is wearing a hand-crocheted scarf or hat or something. I can't crochet, but, damn it, I am knitting like a mad woman. I might have to start selling scarves so I don't wind up with a bazillion of them sitting in my closet in a box labeled "WHY?!".
It's Passover right now, so my dad Jew-guilted me into going to Hillel for Seder on Monday night. On the plus side, though, the brisket there was delicious. Then last night, he and his girlfriend brought me enough food to last me about two weeks (one huge bag full of mostly-homemade Passover food and another huge bag of non-Passover food). I don't really keep Kosher for Passover anymore, but this way I have plenty to eat that won't make me feel guilty.
On Wednesday night--technically Thursday morning--I called John and told him I was pregnant. I warned him that this would be my April Fool's prank about 6 months ago and about 6 weeks ago, and he still fell for it. I only kept it up for a second (but the crying leading up to the announcement was Oscar-worthy), because he's worried about other stuff currently, and I'm nicer than I seem. Kind of.
I follow spotted/megaphone operated a student production last week, which was nice. Very small cast and crew, no professors or anything, pretty laid back. In about a week-and-a-half, I'll start spotting a show for UT Mainstage for a grade, and that won't be as fun. But at least it's for a musical, which should keep me entertained.
The end of the school year is fast approaching, and I think I'm going to pull out with all 'A's and 'B's, if not all 'A's. And then I'll be home for the summer!! Yay!!!
I've been working on a script that I need to have a first draft of to John before I go home. I'm liking where it's going, and I think I might actually be able to finish it. If it's any good, I might try to get it performed at the New Works Festival next spring, which is kind of a big deal.
In other news, my roommate broke her toe the other day by dropping a plate on it while I watched in confusion.
Is that it? Hmm. Yeah, I think that's everything for now. More to come (or 'cum', as I continue to watch Zack and Miri). Later, y'all!
