cold sunshine
it's so nice and sunny outside today, but i've been stuck inside all day doing boring and/or non-sunshiny things.
this morning i finished watching most of "das boot" (the boat) for my german film/lit class in the tmc. i thought i liked it. until the end, when, that's right-- everybody who matters dies. and the boat sinks. mmmm--- the end. and i like sad songs, books, films. this was terrible: they beat astronomical odds, manage to return in a shower of glory, only to have the port destroyed by an air-raid. yes, the nice boy with the pregnant girlfriend, the chief with the sick wife, the noble yet scrappy captain, the affable second command officer-- all DEAD. after so narrowly and triumphantly overcoming the dangerous seas. absolutley horrific.
otherwise, i've got three papers due friday, all of which were initially due earlier in the week, but are now all pushed back to the same day. i don't know how i feel about that. in any case, i've got a lot of research to do for two of them, so i think the last remains of the sunshine may pass into dusk without me. how sad. but wait, not as sad as a crew of fifty men escaping a harrowing experience at sea only to be bombed at their welcome party. no, not quite that sad.
over and out.
