What was supposed to be a quick trip to the registrar and the library turned into a long ordeal because apparently when it comes to my applications, nothing can go smoothly. Oh well. I hope the registrar got all my transcripts to the right places. Is it bad that I only like 70% trust that they did? I'll have to monitor my apps.
Watched The Fountain last night with Dan and it affected me. Not because of the crazy "meaning" in the movie, though we did have a really thoughtful conversation afterwards about what we thought it was all about. But it affected me because Hugh Jackman was unbelievable in it. You know how sometimes *coughTristan&Isolde* you know the couple is supposed to be in love and that's what drives the story, but in your heart you don't really buy their lame chemistry? Not so in this movie. His chemistry with Rachel Weisz is unbelievably real and strong, and his reactions to things are so visceral. (I guess that's what I get for hanging out with Casey so much; I analyze how "emotionally present" actors are). But it was great. Kind of over my head filled with symbolism, but still entertaining. Plus the soundtrack is just beautiful.
