Here we begin the wind-down before the resounding bang to come prom-night: today was a chill day with Amy. We’re exactly one mortal week from the start of Epic Week last Wednesday (where a Fe-clad man ran amuck alongside one very sassy girl). It is thus fitting that we watch a movie (“Juno”, to be exact, starring Ellen Paige and Michael Cera) today.
I’ve been waiting to see “Juno” with Amy since whenever it came out. I think it was around our January exam period so we never got around to it until now. I’d heard a lot of good (and some bad) about it and wanted to check it out for myself. Ellen Paige I had already seen in “Hard Candy” and I liked her disturbing character in that movie so I was interested in how she’d pull this one off. As for Michael Cera, I’ve enjoyed his performances as a dorky teenager in “Arrested Development” too much to miss out on his (secondary at best) role in this movie.
Without getting any more detailed, the movie was a neat one. I liked how they dealt with the issue of a teenage pregnancy in a fun but not childish way. There were some very tasty messages I got out of it and Amy agreed that it was a mushy one. I rather liked it and the funny bits (even some of the not-meant-to-be-funny bits) were quite a lark.
Anyway, with some minor alterations to our plans, we grabbed a quick pizza lunch and grooved some mushy melodies before heading for the park. The way I’m just breezing over the details, you know it was a chill day. To be honest, there really were no mega-details (well, none I want to divulge here anyway) because it really was just a simple day of enjoying the sun and each other’s company. And enjoy I did. Twas a quiet day on the range, but I have no qualms with our peace and awesome.
