I Can't get motivated to work on paper about "Film Noir in It's A Wonderful Life". Which is weird, because I love those two things seperately and its only three pages.
I also have another 5 page paper due for lit methods by friday, but thats just a draft.
Oh, and maths.
I saw Watchmen on friday. I have never been more moved by an opening credits sequence. Despite some small flaws, a great movie. Need to see it again. Hurm.
Pretty excited for Spring Break and the potential for Dinosaur World/Seeing my family/General hangage/sweet, sweet Chipotle. |

I didn't see the oscars last night, but this is the first time in recent memory where most of my picks won. The only upset for me was Golden Compass winning best visual effects, but I will grant that the effects in that movie were pretty stunning in some places.
I'm on the editorial board for Contrast and we just got the first patch of prose and poetry to go through and I swear to god, someone submitted a story that was just "oh, what should I submit to contrast? let me just write down a conversation me and my friends are having". TV Tropes would probably call this "Stitt-ing". The bulk of the submissions were ranged from decent to really good though.
I've got to mail the rest of my studying abroad application stuff today and my application for this internship I'm applying for at The Washingtonian over the summer. Thus, this has been the busiest monday ever. I also need to get two more passport photos before mailing this stuff out, since I'm an idiot who got 6 2x2's instead of 8. Blargh.
I'm looking forward to Spring Break, though its largely going to consist of me being lazy and my mom trying to get me to work at Godiva for a week or something equally rediculous. |

Previously, on MAX:
*This year's Valentine's day was easily the best one I've ever had. The girl and I went out to dinner and then watched the copy of Knocked Up she bought me. I did the traditional "flowers and chocolate", but threw in a poem for good measure. I was pretty pleased with myself.
*Marina and I went to see Seven Samurai at the Carroll County Arts center on friday and I loved it so much that I've borrowed Throne of Blood, Yojimbo and Rashomon in order to get the proper Kurasawa experience.
*Saturday, I had to get up at 8 to go with my Sci Fi in Film class to some kind of Sci Fi convention. Normally, you'd figure this thing would be up my alley, but the lack of comics and the fact that our professor made us stay for like EIGHT HOURS pretty much killed the enthusiasm. Still, I walked away with some comics and got to go to a Chipotle.
*With spring break approaching, I seem to be the only person with no plans. I'm pretty sure everyone's break is different from mine, which spans from 14th of march to the 23rd. Am I correct in this assumption?
*The first Indiana Jones trailer has me cautiously optimistic. Along with Iron Man, Dark Knight, and Star Trek (I think that comes out this summer?), this is going to be a good summer for movies. |
