So long status quo

Maybe it would be fun to write in this again. I just find myself having lots of things to say and remember and no outlet. And then lo and behold, I remember my livejournal.

* I saw Vicky Christina Barcelona last night. I practically had to drag C to it. I loved it; C hated it (he doesn't like movies that glorify infidelity). It was just really beautiful and totally what I needed to remind myself of what I like and hold important in my life: travel, beauty, art, philosophy. I always go through the same thing when I watch a Woody Allen movie: first I find the dialogue really jarring. Then, I fall into the rhythm of it and let it wash over me. Then, it's the end and I find myself thinking about bits of dialogue and certain shots for weeks after. Rinse, repeat.

* I studied for all my classes yesterday. I had forgotten how much I love to study. I was really nice to flow for a while and just sit in the coffee shop with my music and my OCD habits and my books.

* Fay will follow us to Destin this weekend. I'm excited about eating some seafood and watching some major storms from our beach balcony.

* C and I are in the middle of The Corporation. Everyone needs to see it. Of course it's really one-sided (how could it not when Michael Moore, Howard Zinn, and Noam are the talking heads) but it's a good reminder of why we all work so hard. Of why I work so hard. Even though my personal cause isn't so related to corporations, it's helpful to remember how connected we are now and how everything does relate. It's just so easy to get frustrated when my micro solutions to problems don't seem to affect these macro problems.

* I have an appointment with my career advisor today and I am irrationally scared that she's going to tell me I'm too stupid to get a job.
