I took pictures while Jer was looking for books against the governement (haha. not quite but almost) for his thesis. I think it will be fun to be in college next year although I'm afraid I only want to go far away so I can buy a twin bed comforter and a really big suitcase.
&later when I had to babysit and got bored so I ended up watching American Pie on FX and Office Space on ABC Family after it:
(me being bored)
(American Pie being a silly, stupid, yet enjoyable, teenage movie.)
People are so frickin stupid on eBay. There are so many first edition copies of The Bell Jar US edition in circulation, why the heck would someone pay $100+ for one? Hell, even I have one. Show me a first edition British copy with her pseudonym and then I'll be impressed.
Idiots. These people. Do your frickin research!
Speaking of Sylvia Plath, I watched Sylvia (or parts of it) yesterday and found it so painfully boring that I didn't even care to see the end. If you ask me, they should have bought the rights for The Bell Jar and made a movie out of that. THey tried to work Plath's suicides into the film in such an unnatural way. This is an exaggeration of one of these moments:
[scene: in a row boat on the ocean not far from shore]
Ted Hughes (Sylvia's husband): I used to swim in the ocean as a boy.
Sylvia: I tried to drown myself in an ocean once.
God, it was painful. PAINFUL.
