Metallica's "Enter Sandman", a stationary bike's whir, two wives chatting, and the opening of The Last Samurai.

Not the usual background noise.

So while I was home I watched First Knight on the satellite.  First Knight, for those who do not remember, is that Arthurian Legend-y movie from 1995 with Sean Connery as Arthur and Richard Gere as Lancelot.  It's a rather dull retelling of generally one of the more interesting conflicts in the legend: the love triangle between Lancelot, his queen ( Read more... )

 It has been raining quite plentifully the past few nights.  Especially last night.  I cannot say this displeases me.  I enjoy hearing the rain outside, and I love how the sound lets me feel so comfortably safe and pleasantly distanced from the outside world and worries.  I can't hear the rain from my dorm room, and that saddens me; so even though ( Read more... )

 Still tired.

Why is it that I couldn't sleep beyond seven hours while at home (kept waking up at 9 A.M.--wtf??), but today I can't shake off the sleepy?  I nearly fell asleep so many times today on the drive back (could so pull off the 5 A.M. departure deal last year, can't stand it for shit now), and maybe I even did go in an out sometimes for, ( Read more... )

 Finished anthro paper.  Still have a good chunk of work to do on my Razzy paper, but will manage it somehow.  Not going to do anymore tonight because am tired and eyes are scratchy in that go-to-sleep-now-or-we-will-kill-you kinda way ( Read more... )

This is how weird my mom is.

Friday night.  I'm home for the weekend.  My parents go to bed early because they're been up since 5 A.M., and I stay up because, hell, it's Friday night, and I'm much too foolish to turn it at 9 P.M. even though I'm dead tired.

A half hour after my parents go upstairs, my mom calls down to me over the railing.

"Are you ( Read more... )

I turned in my sociology paper last night. It was due this morning. We didn't have to come to the final meeting (both in the sense that it was during the scheduled test time and the last congregation), but the professor showed a documentary in its entirety, one of which we'd only watched clips before. I went, though, and it was fun, just an ( Read more... )

The time has come, so I shall go ( Read more... )

What am I doing? To where have I wandered? Is my purpose false? I'm not quite sure what I've done with myself. But that's a lie. I know, but I don't want to know. If I know, then it's my fault for not fixing it and I'm wrong. That's the worst thing to be, to be wrong. Learn from your mistakes. Take it all in stride. I don't want to. I ( Read more... )

Yeah, finals make me sick. The stress just works into my body and makes me susceptible to all the crap I don't want to drag me down. Fortunately, I managed to fend off a nasty cold for my finals; I thought I'd won. Apparently not. The cold just waited on the sidelines for a couple days and has attacked again. I'm not surrendering down on bend ( Read more... )
