the end of a long week
There's still tomorrow to go, but as far as I'm concerned, the week is practically over. It's a good thing too, I'm exhausted xD
Midterms were all this past week, so sorry that I've been relatively inactive/gone recently. Hopefully it will be my last exams though, since my school has a policy that if you have a final grade of an A your senior year, you don't have to take the final in that class. /o/
So, I had my last midterm today, AP Psych >>; It wasn't that bad but I'm glad it's over! We were supposed to have our last midterms yesterday, but we had a snow day, which was perfect timing and absolutely GREAT. I got sleep and studied sort of more. First snow day of the year, and good thing since it was pretty nasty out all day. Oh, New England, I love you so.
In other news, new layout? I want a header but while I function well enough with regular html, I can't work lj's html for the life of me. I can tweak colors just fine though 8D They match my new default icon...
...which kind of needs an explanation, lol. Last week, one of my best friends bombarded me with "YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. IT IS SO AMAZING YADDA YADDA YADDA" which is relatively normal for us, since we share rather strange tastes in movies (Rocky Horror, Velvet Goldmine etc etc). And then she linked me to THIS: Zydrate Anatomy.
askdfjff. So Friday evening I went over and watched it. Oh my god. I am not a horror/gory/scary movie person, but this is brilliant. It's a rock opera. Repo! The Genetic Opera! It has a very diverse cast of characters (Alexa Vega, from Spy Kids a million years ago? Sarah Brightman? Anthony Stewart Head from Buffy? I'm completely serious. And it's an OPERA, did I mention that?) and the music in itself is amazing, as well as the concept, costumes...and yes, it is a little gory for my tastes, but that's kind of the nature of the plot.
It only premiered in 10 or so movie theaters across the US, but it came out on video just about a week ago, and I highly suggest renting it. ♥ It is rated R, and I was kind of...surprised? when I first watched it, but the soundtrack and characters quickly grew on me, and now I'm going to have to watch it again. ffff yes I know, obsessive over new obsessions.
...and it doesn't help that on the way home in the car, my friend was like yeah btw, I've been poking around and there's already a Repo! kink meme >> THANKS BB, THERE WENT SEVERAL HOURS THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN STUDYING ALL WEEK xDD
oh, I forgot to mention xD journal header stuff etc are quotes from "The Emperor of Ice Cream," a poem by Wallace Stephens. His poetry is damned hard to understand, but he' definitely one of my favorite poets and this is one of my favorite poems ♥
