Break and such
So I've been chillin' out on nice Long Island since Friday. I always have this great rush when I first enter my room, this extreme comfort, which immediately fades. Then I get pissy and I have a row with my mom and then I feel bad, sort of.
In the way of what I've done, well, let's see: I've played silly songs on the piano. It feels really nice to get back on and play again. I stopped taking lessons this semester and I actually miss it. Clearly, it was the right choice based on my lack of flexible time this year, but still, when you stop doing something you've been doing so long, you miss it. So that's been fun. I've been watching lots of movies, which is also great, even though I have a hard time watching movies lately because I'm so caught up in awe over what I'm seeing on screen. I would really really really like to be an editor for proper feature length films, but it's so intimidating. I've started shoddily editing my student made films, and it's really, not difficult, but there are so many opportunities to make mistakes. And then, kind of like writing, you keep seeing the same stuff so much that somehow you start to view things really objectively and then can't even find mistakes anymore.
I've also been playing with the new dog who took an immediate liking to me, and now has decided not to listen to me. Silly dog. He's really rambunctious and thinks you want to play all the time, even if it's 1 in the morning.
Ah, and Half-Blood Prince. I reread that and had lots of fun. It's really quite great. It took a second reading to impress that upon me. I love the way Dumbledore speaks. I mean, who talks like him, really? Harry says that Scrimgeour accused him (Harry) of being Dumbledore's man through and through and Dumbeldore responds with, "how very rude of him." I mean, who says that? His diction is rather incredible.
Let's see ... I haven't done any of my homework, surprise surprise. I really should, seeing as how I have to write an Anthropology midterm and I'm not exactly up to date on my readings.
And I'm also just really ... restless. I get this urge to do something really good, like productive, but not in the way of schoolwork. Like, you know, if I just took out some time to write something, I could produce something really great. But I never do, and so I never know. Does that make any sense?
Anywayz, and_done has influenced me and I'm getting titchy that my mom is in the room right now while I'm writing, ha ahaa. So I'm gonna go. I hope you're all having great breaks!
