Last Weekend: Went to the Fort Wayne Cherry Blossom Festival for about an hour. Mochi is the single-most delicious food item I've ever tasted, and I don't think I'll ever taste anything as perfect and as sweet again (or at least here in America).
This weekend: workworkworkwork. My Wuthering Heights paper is coming along much more nicely once I decided that [SPOILER] Lockwood can be effeminate but still display gentlemanly masculinity because the model of masculinity prevalent in the novel is more rugged and rustic. I still think Lockwood has a thing for Heathcliff and that the attempt at creating a heterosexual interest in Miss Cathy (on Lockwood's part) is tacked on and underdeveloped. [SPOILER] This epiphany does wonders for my paper.
I wish I could see a first printing of Wuthering Heights - the version that was put out by a small press and was full of errors. I can't help but wonder how much of the second printing (from which all other versions are derived today) is a result of the author's sister editing and revising. Alas, there is no original manuscript; the original publishers lost it.
I took a break tonight to play The Labyrinth Drinking Game with some guys. The game is really simple: you take a drink whenever you see David Bowie's bulge. Surprisingly, this does not happen enough times to justify watching the whole movie.
Friday: Saw "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Debbie. It was a fun film :)
