went to see michael moore's fahrenheit 9/11 on saturday. it was the 4pm show (which is usually pretty dead), and the theater was fully packed to the last front rows. the shows afterwards were sold out. amazing! and all this happened almost without any advertising! after the film's pre-screening in a few select theaters, it got so much coverage from the media, and everyone's talking about it. and it just went boom! when the film opened last friday.

my reaction to it? it was a good, intense documentary, i liked it. i especially liked the cuts between the scenes. my favorite was the britney spears one. heheheh... i just didn't really like the personal attacks and jokes on bush's expense. i mean, i'm not crazy about bush either, but some of the jokes were just gratuitous.

went to see sting & annie lennox concert last night. sting rocks! i loooove this guy! he mentioned about fahrenheit 9/11 and some of the audience booed and hissed � only some clapped their hands enthusiastically. i guess sting's fans last night were, interestingly, mostly pro-bush republicans... hmmm, who knew?

i'm going to see chicago and earth, wind & fire tonight, and then madonna tomorrow night. for some reasons, most of the summer concerts this year fall into the same week. heh, talk about concert-spending spree!

on another slightly geeky note: i got to use the beta version of gmail! thanks to thomas who is kind enough to send me an extra invitation, and for avianto, who's persuaded thomas to send it to me.. :)

anyway, on saturday a bunch of us went to have brunch, and guess what! i got another birthday gift! this time it's from miss w. a framed picture of me taking a picture in death valley, as you can see below. nice eh? :D
