suntan lotion is your friend
i should know that by now. so i didnt put on suntan lotion when i left the apartment because i didnt think my tan burn looked that bad. well in the better lighting in the commons bathroom i realize that it is rather bad. it doesnt hurt though which is good. but i do have a nice red rectangle on my back. oops. well it will fade to a tan and then everything will be good.
so i turned in my internship stuff this morning. and i gave krissy all the habitat stuff. so there are two things that are done. though i think we are going to have a habitat meeting on monday.
i'm sad that things are over but i'm looking forward to summer.
wow, it is nice to have actually found a computer in the library with a space bar that functions correctly. when i updated on a computer the other day i was on this horrible computer (that i know i've used before) whose screen is very blurry and fucks with your eyes. and it's pretty sad that its still like that because the last time i was working in the library on a computer (on that particular floor) was probably sometime last year, not last fall, but last year.
and i watched Cape Fear yesterday. why does Robert De Niro have to be so good at playing creepy guys. i was afraid i was going to have nightmares about him. but i didnt. it was pretty good, very good psychological thriller. but i am such a wuss. there were sometimes that i was hiding my eyes.
and i never talked about the other foreign movie i watched last week.
Secrets of the Heart (Spanish)
Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, SECRETS OF THE HEART (Secretos del Corazon) is an elegant and poignant tale of the mysterious and magical adult world as seen through the eyes of Javi, a nine-year old child, growing up in a small provincial town in the 1960s.
Javi believes he can hear the voices of the dead and that they whisper to him their secrets, which were left unspoken in life. At his mother’s house in the mountains, he is fascinated by the room in which his father died and which his mother carefully keeps locked. But, Javi also learns that the living have their secrets as well.
As Javi begins to comprehend these secrets of the heart, he takes us on a journey where we are offered, “the irresistible opportunity to see the world once again through the innocent eyes of a child.” (Seattle Film Festival)
The whole thing in the summary about seeing the world through the eyes of a child was very correct when it came to this movie. i enjoyed it a lot. it was funny at times but still very serious and human and everything. and i have no major complaints. no men abusing power and hurting women. lol. and it wasn't boring and put me to sleep like a French movie i tried to watch (My Night with Maud).
i also watched Real Women Have Curves. it was good as well, but too short and cutesy really. and it seemed to be a bit rushed at the end.
and i think that's it from me now...
well except for
though i'm much better today because i've been busy. but the last few nights when i was driving from Villa Maria back to UMBC i've almost had panic attacks. i'm just being so anxious even though things are going fine. i'm just waiting for everything to fall apart i guess. but on wednesday my boss at library media was having car troubles. and she has the same kind of car as me so i started freaking out that i was going to have car troubles. and then when i was driving back from Villa Maria and noticed how high the gas prices were then i just started freaking out even more. and once i finally get my mind off of things my stomach will suddenly start clenching up and i wont even remember what it is that i'm worrying about. but as i said, i'm better today.
*sighs*
now i'm off to the lab party for VOICES (Dr. Jordan's lab). i forgot to get her a card or anything. so i'm going to get something for her this weekend and give it to her when we meet on monday. she thinks that i should submit my paper for publication so we're going to go through and reformat it for a journal on monday afternoon.
