I think I should just ban myself from posting after midnight, because HELLO EMO. Please forget that ever happened.
I have had a lovely morning, despite being forced to wake up at 7 AM! >.o I had a physics test at 8 AM, and while this is obviously no happy fun times, it was EASY, and I got out in 35 minutes (we had up to 60 or so). So I walked out feeling totally badass. And then I got to meet Jeremy for coffee :D We just chatted for about an hour, and it was quite nice. It turned out he decided not to see Watchmen this weekend based on reviews and the long running time and expense (he'll Netflix it eventually) so I talked about why it had appealed to me as a person new to the story. It was really nice and relaxing.
He's going to LA next week for a film festival that his movie's playing at! The festival even has a super snazzy website and his movie (Out of the Holes of the Rocks) is listed on the program page. I really hope there will be pictures of him being awkward on the red carpet, heeee :D
Then after that, I had History of Africa, which is always interesting (if a wee bit long). At the end he handed back our tests and I got a flipping 99! \o/ He wrote "These may be the most orderly and well written essays I've read on an exam. Brava!" Needless to say I am most pleased. It's been a long time since I did a piece of academic writing and got feedback - I forgot how good it feels! I am very proud of my ability to write coherently and fluidly with ease, especially under pressure. Nice to know I haven't lost the knack. ;)
(Why am I a scientist again?)
So, yeah, that was my morning. Food times now! Then I need to decide whether to go to my lab or job first this afternoon... there's pros and cons to both. Job: I get paid to process books and listen to my iPod, but I'm procrastinating on my lab work. Lab: I'm doing what I SHOULD be doing, but I'm not getting paid and I just really don't WANT to be doing it. Sigh.
How is your morning lovelies? <3

Date: 2009-03-10 08:55 pm (UTC)It's kinda hilarious though...for my presentation, I'm talking about his film "The Piano Teacher", which I picked way back at the beginning of term when I knew NOTHING about any the films. I was like, "oooh, maybe this one will be about ~*MUSIC", and ahahaha oh god, it really really ISN'T, except in the most peripheral way. It's pretty much just two hours of FUCKED UP SHIT. The main character is this woman who has all these really insane sadomasochistic fantasies, and she ends up starting this terrible affair with one of her students, and it's just....AIGH. And there's like, quasi mother-daughter incest, and she CUTS HER VAGINA WITH A RAZORBLADE FOR PLEASURE and there's this scene where she's frantically trying to give her student a blowjob, and she wants him to just fuck her mouth so he DOES and then half way through she THROWS UP and AUGH AUGH AUGH WHYYY.
Oh god, lol, wordvomit to the max. I'M SORRY D:
