I really do spend too much time on the Internet.

First, I wound up watching The Darjeeling Limited, and -- I'm not sure what I think about it. I think it's one of those movies you have to watch a couple of times to really appreciate. It's also the first Wes Anderson film I've ever seen, actually, so yeah. Jesus, and I want to go into the film industry!

Second, as I mentioned a couple of entries ago, I've been reading my old stuff on here. I've just reached my first couple of months at SVA, and it's kind of weird seeing how worried about money I was. I mean, obviously I'm still worried about money (although in a very different way!), yet I still manage to buy things I don't really need sometimes. Back then, though, I was freaking out if I had to take another trip on the train, and I only let myself spend $20 a week. What the hell happened? I would say that I'm spending more money now because I work at a mall, in a store that sells Things I Like, but when I was living in New York I walked around the city constantly and didn't buy a single goddamn thing that wasn't essential -- at least until I got the job at Target and that student refund.

Somewhere along the line, I lost my discipline.

I have to admit that I didn't much care for that movie when I first came out of the theater but I watched it again a few months later and, well, you know. favorite movie ever blah blah blah. so, definitely see it again if you get the chance!

reading old entries it's amazing how much I used to buy stuff. every post was like "look what I just got!". I mean, believe me, i'm tempted to buy everything but i'm trying!

I did like it, although I also feel sort of ambivalent towards it. Although definitely my favorite part was, "I love you, but I'm going to spray mace in your face!"

Wait, wait, what? =O Just...do yourself a favour, and watch The Royal Tenenbaums as soon as possible, okay? Seriously. You will not be disappointed. It's goddamn wonderful.

And, IDK! I think it's good that you're less worried, not a question of losing discipline. D: Who wants to freak out over train trips, right? ♥?

I know! D: I want to see that movie too. Next time I go and rent stuff I probably will.

Yes, but I also actually managed to save money, which I can't seem to do nowadays -- ironically, when I should actually be more worried.

I'm sure you've thought of it and all, and I know it's not the same as buying movies to keep forever and ever, but dude. Netflix is freakin' awesome. My boyfriend and I used to buy DVDs all the time (like when WalMart has them for $13 or whatevs) just because we wanted to see them, and now that we have Netflix we can rent alllll the movies and just buy the ones we end up loving. :D It's only like, $16 for 2 at a time, 1 is like $10 or something, and you can watch a lot of movies online (or if you have an XBox, on there too). So we get 2 movies at a time, however many we can watch a month, plus all these TV shows and movies on our XBox, for $16 a month. :D It's spectacular.

I know Netflix isn't some kind of secret or anything, and I know you might not want a monthly payment, but it's so easy and you watch a LOT of movies, and you can quit anytime, there's no contract. (Wow, I sound like I work for them or something. O_o) But seriously! It's awesome! :D

Just thought I'd put that out there. :D It's really saved us a lot of money in the long run.

I used to have Netflix back when my mom left her job at Blockbuster, but now that I'm living at home and she's working there again I can just get my movies completely for free. Even the ones at the online store. So I'm pretty set, lol.

Netflix is pretty great, though, I agree. It was a godsend to me during that time I couldn't rent movies for free! Haha.

Oh, well. :D That's like the same thing then. ^_^
