Brokeback Mountain and the rest of my day

jedusorI went to the Westport Coffeehouse around noon to study, because I added it up and I'm going to have to study 40 pages per day to get through both the history and biology SAT-prep books. Every day between now and the 28th. That's going to be fun. On the way to the coffeehouse, a guy in a pickup stopped me and asked if I knew where to get a massage or, failing that, fake tattoos. Sadly, I was unable to assist him.
Then I went over to the Tivoli. I was all set to pull out my Penn Valley ID and say 'oh, what a shame, they don't put the age on there... but I'm in college, is that good enough?' Only they didn't card me. I felt a bit cheated, actually, having rehearsed my performance and all. (I don't lie well, so I have to know exactly what I'm going to say ahead of time.) There was a very pretty pierced guy taking tickets. The movie itself was... wow. I went in expecting a lot of fluff and sex, but it wasn't like that at all. There was, I think, one actual sex scene, but it wasn't very graphic at all. The movie was more about the emotions and relationships than "gay cowboys hee!" It was very intense, very heartrending, and had my favorite kind of ending.
After the movie was over, I walked back to the bus stop and got on the Max, intending to go home, but I wasn't really in the mood and I had a lot of studying to do, so I went to the library instead. I didn't realize that it was Martin Luther King Day until I saw the "closed" notice on the door, so I walked to Muddy's instead and drank more coffee while studying. The history book is giving me some writing ideas. On the way out, I caught sight of Joe, and sat down and talked to him for a while. We started walking back together, because he lives about two blocks away from me, and ran into Walden and his girlfriend Olivia, the latter of which I hadn't met. I went to Walden's for a few minutes and talked to his mom Lynisa, then Joe and Walden started playing Magic, so I came home to find pizza in the making. That was when I realized I had not eaten a single thing all day, despite drinking two cups of coffee. That pizza was the best pizza ever.
Speaking of which, I don't know how many of you know this, but my stepdad bakes. Like, danishes and fancy focaccia and the Best Pie Crust Ever. He started doing it to relax while getting his Ph.D., and he hasn't given it up. His New Year's resolution: to make 2006 servings of baked goods in the year 2006. He made an LJ for pictures:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
2006in2006. The only entry on it right now is the garlic focaccia (ohhhh my god, best stuff ever) but there will be more.
EDIT: I was just going through my interests, and realized that I have all of the following listed: "dom's tongue," "elijah's eyes," "orlando's eyebrows," and "viggo's voice." I'm not sure whether to laugh or smack myself.
