| far from heaven
Wednesday, Aug. 06, 2003 10:52 p.m. There was a pop quiz in class today. What I didn't know was that the teacher intended to grade it on a curve. The second highest score in class was a sixty-seven percent, I scored ninety-seven. Oops. I saw three movies when I came homw today. First was Bruce Almighty, which wasn't nearly as blasphemous as I thought and hoped it would be. Second, was a spanish dub of Rob Roy. One word: ugh. Third, I saw this movie Far From Heaven. It's a period piece set in the late fifties that deals with homosexuality and interracial relationships. I thought it was fantastic. The only problem was that I saw it with my parents. My father kept saying that he felt nauseous when the two men kissed, and my mother kept saying how wrong it was for the leading woman (who was white, mind you) to start dancing with the black man. I unded up arguing with them, almost yelling even. And now they're angry. They called me "deviant", I called them oppressive. It's gotten insane, really.
