I saw Rent last night. In addition to being an incredibly fabulous movie, it also managed to touch me emotionally in a way that I don't think a movie ever has before. I laughed at the funny bits, smiled for most of it, and sobbed at the sad parts. For a movie to make me teary happens only about once every 154 years, yet last night I was full on bawling in the middle of the movie. It was just that powerful.
Today is a day of much work. Mostly I am trying to do all of the readings that I need so that I can write my essays. I figure that it is better to read than write today since reading doubles as exam study, but writing only gets a bit of one essay done. Of course in a few days I will have to do some frantic writing, but at least I will have all of my research finished. Mostly I am just proud that I got up at 8 this morning. Okay, it wasn't entirely by choice (Caitlin needed to go to 9 o'clock mass instead of the 11 o'clock service), but it still got me up (and I haven't been back to sleep).
I am saddened right now by the fact that my travel mug dropped, and now it doesn't have a handle and is cracked. I have asked for the really nice WWF one for Christmas (hey, it has a panda on it!), so I am going to try and make do until then. I think I will at least try to glue the handle on in the meantime. I wouldn't be so worried if I didn't use it every day to get my coffee (and I save 75 cents a cup by taking it).
I want to live the life of Rent. Life is too often short on passion.
