119: Again with This Library...
More e-mail sending, begging for people's phone numbers, or to send me letters whilst I am virtually incapacitated. I should probably come to this library more often...though I still have huge fines, so I used my mom's library card to check out all these poetry collections. Oh! And I read "Like Water for Chocolate", when I really should have been reading "Bless Me, Ultima" for English. I love both--though I am prejudiced towards the one more centered on women and cooking! It's been so long since I read a book in practically one sitting; I'd recommend that book if you haven't read it already.
Anywho, like I said before, way more productive. I've been getting so much writing done lately, I actually think that far-off collection may be approaching light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel status, rather than a vague glimmering in my head. I just need to rough draft like crazy and work more often--which is exactly what I've been doing. Reading poetry (Mark Strand, in particular) has inspired me and I think I'm improving. When I get a chance (aka remember) I'll post some of the revised and new stuff--eh, szandara?
In other news, I haven't seen hide nor tail of my father for most of the week--which is both bad and good. Good, for obvious reasons. Bad, because I still need the files from my computer from him! I got my most important ones, that is the Word documents. But I want my pictures! My sister suggested, and I suspect, he deleted them after he took the computer. That would suck, because I want to have the pictures I've taken of these people when I graduate in two months...Ah well, I guess I'll have to just get clicky at graduation... Not the end of the world.
Also, it's official: I know more about Michael Osman than anybody else. He said that I'm the only one interested, and that when he starts talking like that (that is, reflective or intelligently) they shush him. It is nice to think I'm the kind of person people can open up to, but it's too much pressure! He needs other friends, or that mythical someday-girlfriend he's always pining after. Like I care--that's such a horrible filler word; I should just go back to my Californian roots and say 'like' and 'whatever' all the time!
But anyway, we're hanging out tonight, going to see "Pan's Labyrinth". I haven't been to a movie theater since December 2005, when me and Gracie went to see "Fun with Dick and Jane" *shudder*. I've never gone to see movies very often, so...*shrug* Actually, for Film, I've been watching excellent movies. I just saw "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Suddenly, Last Summer". I've also watched "The Graduate" and "Casablanca" for the first time. I'd better not rave about "The Hours" just now--another time, my lovelies, another time...*twittering sigh*
Well, I should use my remaining less-than-twenty minutes to do something a bit more constructive--what, I know not. See ya later, kids!
