through the eyes of...

i went to the theater today. the movie theater. i saw 'charlie and the chocolate factory' with my niece. whenever i feel like i want a kid i do something with her. it reminds me that i maybe don't. not that she is bad, by any means, but kids can be frustrating. as a person who likes order and labels and the like, a child is just too unpredictable for me. i had to tell her to be quiet during the movie about 10 times. they don't get it. or maybe they do more than us, older people. she is is playing around on the piano as i write this. it makes me feel guilty.
the movie was good. i love tim burton's style. over the top, loud, dark, intense and colourful. it's great.
shawn desmond is at klondike days today, in 40min actually. he is hot, but can't sing and has a lisp. i don't hold those things against him. i'm sure he's very nice.
mike and i decided we are going to go to vancouver at the end of september. it will be my second time back since i moved away from there. i think i will go tanning before i go back. i'd like to look different from when i left.
i'm gonna go play with my niece. she's a good kid.
