Stop Worrying!!!

Shall we proceed? I want to first make it clear that I'm just having a bad week. I don't want to keep talking about sad things. I'm sure this little sadness that's invaded my mind will surpass. I just need to take some time and sort some things out. I think. But I truly love London. Well, not as much as New York City, but that's simply impossible to top. I am having a great time here, and I swear that London is not the center of my problems. I'm not homesick. I'm not extremely lonely. The things that are bothering me are mostly things that have been bothering me for a while. But I'll be fine. I'm sure I will. So, don't worry. Ok?? No more commenting to my mom that I'm miserable and having a horrible time. That's simply not true. I have made a lot of friends here, and I have my fair share of good times. Ok?
Keep proceeding...I've been catching up on my Oscar-nominated movies. I saw 'Adaptation' Friday. It stars Nicolas Cage, Chris Cooper, and Meryl Streep. I absolutely loved this movie, until the ending. The ending completely ruined everything the movie was trying to accomplish. I'm going to try not to think about the ending though, just so I can enjoy how many wonderful lines from the script there were. Chris Cooper is nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and I'm going to say (off-record) that he completely deserves to win. John C. Reilly is also nominated, so I don't know who I'm going to vote for, but Chris Cooper was absolutely amazing in 'Adaptation'. And where the hell did Meryl Streep's character come from? Not only was the character played by one of the most respected actressed in the industry, but what is more surprising was that Ms. Streep was a psychotic drug-sniffer!!! There was a really great scene where Streep and Cooper are on the phone. I don't want to give anything away, but it is the funniest part in the whole movie. Streep delivers the best line "That's fucking amazing." It was so perfect. Ooops, I forgot to mention anything about my Nicolas. Could that be because Mr. Cage's character wasn't that fun to watch?? No, of course not. I love Nicolas Cage. He is always great. He needs no explanation.
Next film...'The Pianist' starring Adrien Brody. This movie was extremely hard to watch. It was about a man (Brody) trying to survive the Holocaust. He, of course, was a Jew. The movie portrayed the heartache of watching everyone around you die, including your family. There was nothing Brody's character could do either. It made me so angry to think that this really happened. HOW could this have happened??? Honestly, how could people be treated this unjustly?? 'The Pianist' was truly a wonderfully made movie. So far, the only movie that is nominated for Best Picture that I haven't seen is "The Hours". Right now, 'The Pianist' has my vote, so "The Hours" is going to have to be extremely outstanding in order to sway my opinion. Go see 'The Pianist', everyone!
