So catherine came over because she wanted to finally watch the greatness that is "St. Elmo's Fire." I warned her that other than the rockin John Parr "Man in Motion" song the movie itself is an acquired taste but she didn't listen. Anyways about 10 minutes in she said she really wasn't feeling attached the characters even though much like us they are post college graduates dealing with life and stuff. Wait actually i just thought about it and we've been out of school for over a year and for some reason i was thinking we got out of school in June. Wow that was kind of deep.

So anyways she thought it sucked so then i opted for the next best thing, the greatest teen movie/musical EVER! Image you are a super nerdy girl named Louise Miller and on your 16 th birthday you happen upon a palm reader who informs you that you are in fact a witch and your powers will begin at the age of 16. You use your powers to become the most popular girl in school and to make the hottest guy Brad fall in love with you. eeeemagine!!! Anyways this is the plot of Teen Witch. It's was this awful early 90's movie that my cousin Jenny and i watched one summer on HBO when it was on repeat but they barely released in on dvd last year so i finally watched it again. soooo good. i highly recommend you netflix that shit, stat. Anyways point being there is this intro scene where Louise's little brother finds her hidden diary and she flips out because he sees all the crazy entries she's written about brad kissing her all over etc etc. Anyways we were reminiscing about how diaries usually had liek Hello Kitty or twin stars or kero kero kerropi on them. And they had those little plastic locks with the ghetto keys that broke all the time. Anyways isn't it odd how diaries used to be a person's secret inner thoughts, and now i say this with a great sense of irony, diaries are a way for peopel to communicate with others and peopel post their shit all over the internet. strange how the world changes. Think about it!!

Anyways then she got some call from some dude she was selling tickets to on craigslist and we drove out to meet him at the local arco, very sketchy indeed. But it turns out he had just come back from working at the South Central Farm. yes, south central has a farm. who knew. for the non Angelinos South Central is synonymous with LA Riots, get it? So i guess this farm has been around for a while, and it's 14 acres of farm land where locals can grow food for their families and on sunday's they sell the food. how cool is that. It's really sad though because the city in some backhanded meeting sold the land for 5 million dollars to a developer. SHADY!! hello, where in LA can you get 14 acres for 5 mill. That is unheard of. My first thought was, wow this is totes something that caleb nichol would have done circa season one "The OC." Remember when he tried to buy the wetlands? yeah real life imitates art and vice versa. so anyways all of these local farmers were picketing for the past few months and the land got bull dozed on monday. so sad. google this for some interesting articles, south central farm. There were a bunch of movie stars who came out to try to save the farm including martin sheen and apparently daryll hannah lived in a tree on the farm for 3 weeks. that last part was so very hollywood. so most of the farmers are mexican (solidarity for my peeps!) but the mayor who is all Chicano power is not helping to save the south central farm. how horrible. Anyways interesting topic if you care
