Late Night with Erin


SO, it's past 1:30 in the morning and I am wide eyed....
That will teach me for taking a nap and then drinking 2 really strong k-cups of coffee at 5:00 p.m.

I just finished watching "Chasing Amy"
Different than I expected....
A few people mentioned how Alyssa was a lesbian, and she couldn't be with Holdon because of her desire for women. I didn't see that at all. I saw her as a bi-sexual woman who had some bad experiences with men, so she took comfort in women, on both an emotional and sexual levels.
Holdon was an ass. I'm glad that a year later he was able to apologize for his bullshit, but the truth was... he didn't deserve her. She was madly in love with him. I felt so bad for her. And, all along, I thought it was going to be her that broke his heart! I would have done the same thing she did, minus the slap across the face.
The movie, to me.. was quite powerful. Totally and completely different than I expected!
It was a great movie. It really made me think.... And, I'm really glad I stayed up to watch it.

Now... how do I get some sleep? lol. I am not ever at a loss like I am tonight. I am usually struggling at 11 p.m to keep one eye open during a movie. Tonight, a different story.
