Enjoy this sporadic communication while it lasts, because seriously, two weeks from now I will be posting four times a week out of sheer boredom ( Read more... )

Sorry I haven't posted in so long; uni is getting a bit mad and I had two assignments for the same class due within three days of each other (which I put off this time with Boston Legal, Psychonauts and a midnight viewing of Hellboy II). But 3000 words on Watchmen, Nietzsche and Objectivism and a 10-minute science fiction film pitch later, and I've ( Read more... )

I've got a folio of writing exercises due tomorrow afternoon, and since we have the most singularly unhelpful lecturer none of us have any idea what that entails. 'Folio of writing exercises' is the entirety of our instruction. So anyway, I spent this evening typing up five pieces of varying lengths, after a week of drawing - and one frantic night ( Read more... )

I just watched Mulholland Drive and I still don't understand what the hell this reading is getting at. Jesus, this presentation is going to crash and burn so hard D: D: D:

Okay, so, meme. ( Day 06 - Favorite actor/actress )

Why do I never get work in the middle of a holiday or something? Yesterday I signed up to work for all the days that I don't have class - and then realised that I have a 30-minute presentation due in a week. This realisation hit particularly hard when, after class, Tim pulled me aside to discuss the presentation and all it would entail, including ( Read more... )

I really have been terrible about posting, haven't I? I think it's because I end up feeling guilty spending a significant amount of time writing anything that isn't course-related, but since I also bear the title of Master Procrastinator I end up writing NOTHING AT ALL. Similarly, I got stuck trying to figure out a different, better style for the ( Read more... )

Hiiiiiii. Wow, look at my LJ. Is that a layer of dust? Um. LOOK, A DISTRACTION! I didn't even think of doing an LJ post until I saw THIS and had to share it with the whole wide world (especially those parts of the world that, like me, saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall and wandered out of the cinema going "But I wanted more puppet Dracula!"):

WOO I HAVE SPARKLY DINOSAUR STICKERS. SSar came round with them, and now my fugly white roller skates are adorned with mix-and-match skull laces and adorable-faced cartoon dinosaurs. We have roller skated around the cul-de-sac above the botanical gardens three times now, and will do it again tonight, and I will feel extra awesome doing it. :D ( Read more... )

At 2pm this afternoon I had an essay due in on non-places and the alienated postmodern city in crime fiction, using the films Heat and Se7en and the comic Watchmen as my examples ( Read more... )

MY ROLLERSKATES ARRIVED. They're battered and vinyl and white and hideous - and they fit! I have already jazzed them up with acid-green skull laces, and have been encouraged to wear them around the house. I sense that this would end in a messy stairs-related injury, but I am still tempted ( Read more... )
