Grapes equal love.
It's been quite some time since I've actually stayed down here in the freezing wilderness of my basement in order to write something other than a school paper. And there have been many.
Fortunately the fun is not about to end any time soon. We are currently "maaking a run for it" ( the AP Euro test that is)...said in the words of the one and only Tommy Burns. Good God I love that man.
Speaking of writing, I've signed up, this is for those who do not see me on a regular basis since all of those who have already heard most of this, for Mr. Robbins's AP Eng Comp class=writing galore!. AP Eng Lit, which I've been told is somewhat of a joke, and AP US history, which I'm really looking forward to all that much but will probably be better than the lesser option. Slack off senior year, what?! Who does that? Obviously not a person who's taking 3 AP's! Certainly a girl with any sanity left in her after all these ridiculous years would have the guts to say enough is enough! I'm through with letting myself down time and time again! Screw the liberal arts!
Alas, I am left with a need for knowledge and precious few tools to attain it. I do believe that at this point my brain has shut down. I'm able to get To Kill a Mockingbird in, mainly because I've already read and know I'll like it, but little else has jumped the puddle lately. In Euro we've reached the cold war and, although it is the most recent thing we've learned about all year, I've found that it is too much for my baked potato of a brain to absorb all of those akia's and aria's...and those fucking russians. Kruschev, Breshnev, Gorbachev, Putin. Who did what I've no idea, all I know is that Putin tried to poison a man running for election in some country that split off from the USSR, and even this I'm not wuite sure of, and that he has a strangely shaped birth mark on his incredibly appealing, bald head.
I often find I know quite a bit about European history, but it never seems to be the bit that is addressed in the test question. I find myself pining for DBQ's in which I have knowledge of the actual historical event, I just bullshit my way through using those handy dandy documents. But when real facts are involved I can't bullshit. And I don't mean I'm not supposed to, because it is still called for even when you do know something about your topic, but I'm not able to do it when I know that I'm supposed to know something. I get too obsessed with getting the history down that I can't write anymore.
Abrupt topic change, mainly because I got distracted, by what I'm not sure. I saw two really good movies today and stopped my parents from seeing a very bad one. Adrien Brody was awesome again, as well as emaciated, in the Jacket. And tonight I rented Stage Beauty which was so much better than I expected. I didn't expect it to be bad, but I didn't expect it to be this intricate and wonderful. Go watch it. Now.
I went to see Big the Musical, I almost wrote Meussical, yesterday with the drama kids. It was a grand old time with the gang but the show itself was rather bad. Which was sad because the main character was quite good. I think the show itself was just bad. Why would you try to make a Tom Hanks movie into a musical? Using all the same jokes but not being able to get the rights to use FAO Schwartz's store name, which is one of the highlights of the movie...? I mean the boy was very good but no one can act like a 12 year old quite like Tom Hanks, not to mention joke about small corn...I mean really people.
Yet it was a good time and Ryan Simmons was rather hillarious. Oh but Seussical will rock those bitches, however. I'm not quite sure I've ever had this much faith in a show before. Besides Little Shop, because that was just awesome...
and I wasn't even in it.
Ok I'm done.
Abrupt ending, mainly because I got distracted again. And I still don't know what it is that is so distracting.
