Scary Things: Let The Right One In, Sports Bar


Last night I saw a really awesome movie with Claire, Michael, Vlada, Mark, and Ezra, called Let The Right One In. It was oh my god amazing. It was about a kid who got picked on at school a lot, and then a girl moves in next door to be his friend, and turns out she's a vampire. I loved the trailer and I thought that maybe the movie would be a let down comparatively but it was not, not even a tiny tiny bit. That is a picture from it. I'm gonna post the trailer later at home when I figure out how to do it. It's probably my favorite or one of my favorite movies of this year. And stunning cinematography. And vampire children. And bloody, dismembered arms.

Before that, I had a surreal dinner with Ezra at this strange sports bar/restaurant near Sunset Strip, which turns out is about the worst place in LA to hang out. Our conversation kept getting interrupted every thirty seconds by the cheers of drunken football fans. Neither of us knew what we were doing there, but it was the cheapest place around and neither of us have any money, so we stayed. I got the nastiest whiskey sour that I've ever tasted in my life, but it matched the mood of this restaurant. Ezra ordered the side of mac & cheese but they brought him the dinner size, so I guess good things did happen in that place, but it was mostly horrifying.
