Bet you didn't expect to see me again this soon!
I'm not at school today; the bf and I are getting over colds... he's our driver, and he practically dies anytime he does anything that involves getting up, so he couldn't walk all over campus like our schedules call for.
I'm a lot better than I was, and mostly feel human again. But he's just not getting well as fast as I am. I attribute it to the days I took Nyquil and stayed in bed all day. But he hates how Nyquil makes him feel so he refuses to take it. I can't blame him-- I'm the same way about some kinds of medicine.
So right now I'm downloading time travel movies. I have a strong fondness for all time travel movies, even the bad ones. Anybody know some good ones they can recommend? Off the top of my head, I can think of: Somewhere in Time, Time After Time, The Philadelphia Experiment (which I've not seen yet), The Final Countdown (haven't seen), um, and that's what's on the top of my head.
Good time travel books I like include "Charlotte Sometimes" (a young adult book, haven't read it in years) and The Time Traveler's Wife (SO GOOD).
Oh, and movies where someone is frozen and is woken up in the future are also great. Like um, Late for Dinner, another movie I've not seen in years. I wonder if it stands the test of time, pun intended?
I'm a little nervous about missing school. I'm having a hard enough time keeping up in Japanese without missing days. :-/ Plus, the largest percentage of your grade in that class is not from tests, but from daily grading. You get graded on things like if you're there (if you're not you just get a 0), if you're on time, if you spoke in all Japanese that class period, how quickly you could rattle off phrases, how many errors you had in your speech. It's very stressful for a 1001 class!
Dream behind a
Last night I dreamed I was the leader of a gang of thieves, and we were infiltrating my old workplace, Forest (I hate when I dream about that place). I was a pretty badass leader, and my people obeyed me without hesitation. We were trying to kidnap this scientist so he'd do research for us-- he was played by that guy who was the Santa in Miracle on 34th Street (the modern one).
Meanwhile the head of accounting came to me, surprised that I made so much money "working" for the company (I'd inserted myself into the computers). I knew the jig was almost up because she would mention this to others who would realize I shouldn't be there. So I rushed back to my crew who were keeping an eye on the scientist guy.
I had a soft spot for him, so I gave him the opportunity to join us of his own free will. He declined both because he felt he could do more good where he was (working for a pharmaceutical company!) than with me (who wanted to Robin Hood his work), and because "I don't like your methods." At that point, my original plan had been to just kidnap him anyway, but I really wanted him to come willingly-- so I let him go. I was very concerned about my reputation with my crew.
I was drifting in and out of sleep at this point, but I was escaping from Forest (they were now after me) and then there was an insurrection with my crew and I was shooting the "bad" team members (and also some of the good ones! Yes, that's right-- I'm so hardcore I shoot my own men). I was also going to kidnap this woman scientist in case Mr. Santa Scientist decided not to come, and leaving word with him about my whereabouts (vaguely) in case he changed his mind.
Well, I guess I won't keep rattling on and I'll end this post. It was great getting responses to my last one. Thank you so much for reading and replying... made me feel loved. :)
