This is a snippet I never finished of a post from last year, but I don't feel like deleting it, so I'll just leave it half done.... enjoy it (kinda).

So forgive me, this may be all over the place.
I like to go to movies here where I live. Since I moved to my awesome house, I have consistent access to both an internet cafe and a movie theatre. This theatre is $2.50 for a movie and another $3.50 if I want to add a coke and a large popcorn. And before you judge about my large popcorn, it's Indonesian large, which just like their clothing, is really American XS.
Anyway, whenever I come to the mall to use the internet, I usually just run upstairs to see what's playing if I don't have anything really really pressing to do. Low and behold, for some reason, today Eat, Pray, Love was listed. This in itself it a little strange since it's so old, and the movie here are usually relatively new. I still had not seen this movie. I had heard a lot about both the movie and the book. I have to say I was pre-biased against it for a couple of reasons. First, I respect my friend's opinions, and the vast majority of them hated it. Secondly, this movie has a lot to do with why I don't think Ubud in Bali is as cool as it used to be (everyone wants to find themselves/their own version of Mr. Penelope Cruz). Lastly, I'm just never sure if I really like Julia Roberts in anything.
So, I was all set to hate this movie. (This will tell you a little about my life here...that I'm perfectly willing to go watch a movie for 2 hours, that I fully expect to hate.) I pretty much did hate it. I felt a little weird afterwards though. Well, I have been feeling pretty weird a lot lately.
I'm 35. I tell people all the time that I don't really know what happened to the years 23 until now. It's not like the time flew by or anything, there just weren't any particular milestones that stand out as time passed.
