traditions

I was at Tagaytay for most of today and yesterday attempting to make my way through Bad Education by Pedro Almodovar. It was an ok film, with Gael Garcia Bernal starring as a transvestite, something I wouldn’t have pictured him doing after seeing Y Tu Mama Tambien and The Science of Sleep. But I guess it’s quite a brutal take for my mind at the moment, and dozed of about an hour into the picture. Which pretty much sums most of what I did today… sleep.

Got home in time for dinner, and I realized that I haven’t had time to delve into my personal holy week traditions yet, which is, viewing High Fidelity and Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

Watching High Fidelity today, was weird. Seems like not viewing this film for at least six months has taken it’s toll on me and I’m viewing this in a completely different light. Was IM-ing a friend while watching this actually, going on about my so-called issues. In the end, I came to the conclusion that I should just watch this movie for entertainment purposes, then go about the processing later. After all, High Fidelity still is my favorite movie of all time.

Harold and Kumar, on the other hand, is still classic. Have been watching this during Easter weekend for the past three years now, and it still manages to get me laughing my ass off. And it never fails to start my craving for hamburgers after each and every viewing. Can’t wait for Harold and Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay.
