(no subject)
So yesterday was one of the more wasteful days of my life. I got up at like 10:00 and laid in bed reading for a while. Then I put on Gone With the Wind and Emily came over and we chatted for a bit. Then we went to Whalen for an hour and I did the only productive things of my day. Then I returned to my room and watched the rest of Gone With the Wind (which, let me just make a note to say, is one of the best movies ever. Really. It is. If you haven't seen it, go read the book and then watch the movie. So good.) and cried and felt all tragic and southern and melodramatic (because, come on, that's how it is after you watch GWTW).
Emily had come by to see if I wanted to go to dinner with she and Betty and Em's grandparents but I wasn't hungry, so I stayed here and turned on E! (My vice) and watched absolute trash on TV until Erin got back from shooting Alexis' movie all day and was like "Come on, we have to go to that recital now" At this point, I was sound asleep and wasn't really sure where we were going or why until we were in Whalen, but oh well. Went to the recital. It was good. Came back here, finished my book (one of the obscure ones by Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, an oldie but a goodie) and then watched Mr. Holland's Opus with the girls.
Let me just say. Oh. My. God. If you have any appreciation for music, especially in the public schools, you MUST see Mr. Holland's Opus and you must bring at least twelve tissues with you. It was truly an incredible movie. Especially as music majors, we were just stunned. Betty and I were both seeing it for the first time and Betty especially, cried a lot. I think it meant more to the girls who were music ed majors, but I was bawling with them, too. It was amazing and very touching and just soo sooo good. I'd never seen Betty cry before and she was sobbing. I thought Erin was going to hyperventilate. It was one of those times when the credits were rolling and Wendy had turned the lights back on (she was the only one not crying--even Alexis who slept thru half of it was!) and we were still crying hard. Not just sniffing and wiping our eyes, but full on crying. Wow.
But yeah, so that was amazing. Then Erin and I stayed up talking for like an hour and went to bed at 2:30. So yeah, a nice day and very relaxing, but got ABSOLUTELY nothing done. Which is why I SHOULD NOT be sitting here messing around online...*sigh* I am so bad. I'm going to hate myself tomorrow when I'm absolutely swamped and too busy to do my work.
Ok. Going to make myself finish the book I was supposed to read for S. Asia like a month ago...
Argh...
