Watched Over Her Dead Body at Leeny's today. It was funny while watching it, but I think it was one of those movies you only watch once. You know, the sort where everything is great while it's going on but afterwards you don't really think you'd see it all again.
While I was biking home from school, I had to take a different route because of road work, which involved me crossing a rather narrow bridge. Now, on the side of the road opposite me was a sidewalk. I was biking along, staying on the correct side of the road, and what should I see in the distance, right as I'm approaching this somewhat dangerous bridge, I see a pedestrian just ambling along at a slow, leisurely pace, right in front of me, COMPLETELY in my way and also COMPLETELY on the wrong side of the road. When I caught up with the person, I had to dismount and walk my bike because there was no room to go around them, and I couldn't ask them to shove over to the side of the road because (1) there still might not be room, (2) they were wearing headphones and wouldn't hear me over the traffic anyway, (3) it would be rude and (4) it was a bit of a sketchy person.
So, today, I discovered that there are few things more frustrating than being stuck behind a slow-moving, sketchy pedestrian on a crowded, narrow bridge. If ever I write an action movie, I'll make such a scene, replacing the sketchy pedestrian with a villain, and of course, the person stuck behind them would be the protag disguised as someone else. And the bridge would be a rickety rope bridge with rotting planks, going over a gorge. You know, the usual.
Also, one thing I was realizing today: the people who are always saying things like, "I hate classifications" and "Indie cred is such a stupid concept" also seem to be the people who are always classifying others and will only respect you if you have indie cred.
One more thing! I did well in jujitsu today. I was pulling off some really good throws, even if I didn't quite do them right. I still managed to throw this person who is taller and heavier than I am, and is a black belt. Yay! Sensei showed us how to do kicks in the air, too. It's surprisingly easy to kick whilst in the air, but it's very difficult to do so and still land properly, or to make it look good. If I ever get it right I'll post a video or something.
