the life aquatic with (insert name here)

i finally saw the life aquatic with steve zissou. i enjoyed it, but was slightly disappointed, although my disappointment has been fading since the final 20 minutes, and now is nearly gone. it made me miss family and friends. i was surprised at that, actually, and on the drive home from the theater i realized that all the fuss over physical touch being important is not made for no reason. that was a very meandering sentence that tried to say this: i miss hugs. as much as i can be annoyed by people who are always touching other people, i really do need some sort of physical touch, and i haven't had any since i was in roseburg. wow.

also, qickly since i need to go to bed, i liked the idea of life as an adventure in community that the movie put forth at the end. well, i guess it was out there throughout the movie, but it became as close to explicit as a wes anderson theme will get at the end. stanley hauerwas talks about life being an adventure in community, particularly for the church, and it was cool to be reminded of that in such a profound way by a movie.

Well, it doesn't matter much now - since we couldn't find anyone. ...To set you up with. See, we were going to try to get you out on a date by the end of the summer. In the case you didn't realize, it didn't happen. But I suppose that's cause there's not many college/post-college kids around. And I suppose that why you were constantly hanging around highschoolers.

How did Steve Zissou like it? Or did he not watch it with you? And if he didn't, did you go with Luke or anyone?
