Hello people!
I slept an extra half hour this morning. It was loverly. I watched The Fairly Oddparents and Jimmy Neutron. They were funny and I miss watching them, lol.
My friend, Deidre, gave us a ride to school, which was incredibly nice of her, imo. <3 Photo was somewhat boring; we took notes. But we had a film prepping contest for two extra credit points and I won! :D YAY! Though I could use those points ELSEwhere, lol (like, ya know, AP Gov. or math). Still. Awesomesauce.
Mr. Pagnanelli (math teacher) was home sick today, so we didn't do anything! TWOOT! AP Gov. sucked; we finished our testing shit and we have a paper due tomorrow, but I didn't do it yet and I prolly won't get it done til much later tonight (like, just before I go to bed). We watched a Forensic Files in forensics today, which made me SO HAPPY, you have no idea. I've seen it before, but I love that show so much, I just don't care, lol.
Our "I Am" poems were due in MindCandy today. Some of us read them aloud, including myself. I was so afraid it was gonna be suckish, but when I was done (and I feel like I sound terribly cocky saying this), everyone applauded and Mr. Robbins was like, "That was great! That was really great! Great job!" And no one else got applause, so it made me really happy, lol! :}
Mom picked me up and we had to stop at her office for a bit (which turned into a half freaking hour). I rocked out to some awesome muzak and then we went to Kroger. Well, I tried to find the latest fucking issue of EW and I canNOT find it! I'm going crazy, cuz people on my flist keep getting it but it's not in any of the stupid damn stores in the area! GAH MUST HAVE TEH MAGAZINE! Then we went home.
There was a movie on Starz called, "The Last Supper." It's got Cameron Diaz in it, and a couple minor guest appearances by other people (Jason Alexander, Ron Pearlman, Bill Paxton). It's a little weird, but it's funny. I liked it. It's about grad students who invite strangers over every Sunday to have some intelligent conversation. One Sunday, this asshole (Paxton) is invited. It turns into this hilariously obscure movie and you should rent it (plus, one of the guys, Marc, kinda looks like young!Jon, to me...a little bit).
After that, this movie called, "Uncounted" came on. It was about politics, so we decided to watch it. Oh my god, if you haven't seen it (and I've never heard of it), you should see it. I mean, you really need to see it. It's about the 2000/2004 elections and conspiracies. It prolly sounds like liberal drivel to some people, but it's heart-wrenchingly eye-opening. It's...I can't even describe it. It made me cry, because I know it's true. And it scares me.
Can you imagine what would have happened to this country if Kerry had been President? I'm not just blathering here, I want you to literally sit back from your screen and think - really fucking think - what would we be like if we hadn't had Bush for another term? Would we be out of Iraq? Would we be without the massive crushing debt/failing stock market that we have now? Would we be a better country for it? Or would we be as we are now?
So, the bailout failed. What now? I mean, WTF now? Shouldn't they come up with a new solution before tearing apart the only one we have (even though it fucking sucked anyway)? I'm so confused over this goddamn bailout shit I don't even know what to think anymore.
Moving past the politics now...that's about it. Title of this post is from Ghost Town. There's a shitload of TV on tonight, including the premiere of Chuck on NBC at 8:00. Then, ya know, Heroes and Prison Break and Two and a Half Men. YAY TV.
Jeezus chryzt, I need to write.
Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*
