last night i went to the movies with two of my best friends, katie, who i haven't seen in at least 6 or 7 months, and janette. we saw 500 days of summer which, even though this isn't technically a movie review, i would suggest you go see. it has a great concept, a great message, and great actors (joseph gordon-levitt and zooey deschanel).
on our way home from the theatre it began to storm. it had been hot and sticky all day, so the storm was, at least to begin with, just heat lightening. there's something beautiful about lightening without rain -- the otherwise uninterrupted darkness is cancelled out for a split second, allowing everything to be illuminated; most shocking because one doesn't expect the night to suddenly revert to day. it was still warm out, so katie and i rolled down our windows and blasted the radio. the combination of the most amazing lightening storm i'd ever seen, the much-needed reunion with my best friend, the wind in our hair, and the blasting of iris by the goo goo dolls was incredible. the only thing i can think to describe it is a quote from a book i read a number of years ago, the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky: "in that moment, i swear we were infinite."
