if you're looking for me, you better check beneath the sea.....cuz that is where you'll fiiiind me!
you know what phrase I really strongly disagree with? "fat and happy." the context I mean this in is while describing a pregnant woman. I heard it used on tv tonight and it really frosted me off. I guess because it degrades pregnancy and makes a woman sound like a dog with a litter of puppies instead of a human being who gives birth because she desires to have a family. but that's just me.
I'm so glad the temperatures are cooling down a little. when I woke up to clouds and grey skies today, I was thrilled! finally, I thought, a chance to wear a shirt and not a tanktop, and maybe even-- gasp!! -- a sweater!
I've been really bored lately. I haven't had too much work to do this week. that sucks, because I'd rather be productive. and I know in a few weeks' time, I'll feel so overwhelmed by my workload, and I'd be willing to kill for some of the kind of time I have now.
I also hate knowing that there's not much I can do as far as work on my film right now. I finished my storyboard, and I've got a character design... now I need to work on the animation. but how do I start? I'm so anxious and so nervous about it, but I really know I'll be proud of this film when it's finished.
something that upset me in this week's issue of the loyolan (the campus newspaper) was the use of the n word. there was a story about 2 incidents of racial harassment on campus, both committed on the same day, but in different buildings. it seems the n-word was tagged onto a poster and a wall. but the paper didn't list the word as n-----, and went to no means to censor it...it just listed the word, straight up. I found this to be offensive. yes, it was reporting something that happened, but to list the word specifically is only perpetuating its usage, as if it's okay to say in casual, or even professional, conversation. I got into a heated debate with austin about this awhile ago. I'm thinking of notifying the loyolan and voicing out about it. things like that bother me... society is getting desensitized, and I think it's scary.
I'm looking forward to celebrating austin's birthday this weekend, but I'm a little concerned that the party might turn up some drama between guests. we'll see what happens. I think it'll be a fun weekend.
I talked to shiboo today! yaaayyy!!! she says she took lots of pictures in vegas. (comrade, when you have time, will you email them to me? I'm so anxious to see!!)
there's a show on adult swim called "case closed," really known in japan as being detective conan or something (it's an anime, of course)... and I've gotten somewhat hooked on it. the art style is sorta crap, maybe really crap, in that all of the characters have the same facial expressions, but I like the fact that it's a murder mystery. I also like lupin the 3rd, to an extent. I like fujiko for her character design (minus the gigantic rack-- I mean more of her face), but I don't like her in herself.
I'm just rambling tonight, aren't I? see, this is what happens when I'm bored.
well, don't get used to it... the time will soon come that I probably won't even have time to update lj at all. le sigh.
for now, I think I'll relax in bed... watch some anime until I doze off, as I have been every night since coming back to school.
g'night!
