We don't get many trespassers up here....we shoot them
It's 4:30 in the morning, and I'm perfectly wide awake. I'm sure you can guess why, but I'll tell you anyway: finals. This week has fucked with my internal clock so much. I've been pulling more all-nighters than I ever have before, and getting less sleep than I probably should be. So I compensate those lost hours by taking naps...and I find myself waking from those naps well into the middle of the night/early morning. Today, for example, I collapsed on my bed at 3:00 in the afternoon...and woke up 12 hours later. Yea, I totally slept through the day and I'm upset about it. I wanted to go out and celebrate the no finals-having...and I was asleep. So now I'm chillin' here in my boxers drinking some tea and pondering life, the universe, and when I should go back to bed. But, ya know, this may be for the best. I find myself enjoying mornings much more than I usually do (probably because I rarely, if ever, see them) and I've noticed that my favorite times of the day are when it's all gray and misty outside, right after the sun has come up.
And, also, the first few minutes after you wake up. Cause you're all half-asleep and comfortable. The yawning and stretching seems oddly romantic and cute to me...even when I'm by myself. Is that weird?
Anyway, I think I'm gonna go with this and attempt to actually start waking up in the morning. It opens up possibilities and stuff, ya know? Like, I have the whole day to do what I want...as opposed to the usual 8 or so hours I have. It's a nice feeling. Plus, it makes me feel all sophisticated. All I need is a newspaper and I'll be set.
I had my last final today in English yesterday and I think I did fairly well on it. I used the entire 2 hours and 15 minutes to type this paper up that connected all the stories we read this semester and I was very proud of myself. I even got some extra credit points on it. It's such a great feeling to be done with this semester. I'm still slightly on edge from studying hardcore this week, but there's definitely relief setting in :)
After my test I went to sell back my books and got a whopping 48 dollars back. Then I used part of that money to buy the Avengers on DVD. After watching Fight Club, and Mulholland DR. my brain needed a break and this movie was just the mindless action that I needed. I've heard such terrible things about this film, but I thought it was pretty good. The set pieces were amazing, the costumes were great (as were the actors), and there were some really great shots throughout. There are definitely worse films out there (Hulk, anyone?) and I think that the editing is what hurt it the most. Originally it ran about 2 hours long, but was chopped back to around 80 minutes after test audiences didn't like it. I want to see that cut. Now. The trailer shows some of those clips and they look great! More Uma ass kicking = a good time.
But did anyone eles notice the huge similarity to Emma Peel and Poison Ivy? Well naturally they're played by the actress, but Uma's hair and makeup looked like it was ripped from Batman and Robin, I thought. Not that it's a bad thing, as she looks very seductive-like, but ....it was just there.
But yes, very fun movie. Plus, where else are you gonna see robotic bees with mini guns? Or Sean Connery in a teddy bear costume?
I had a very random urge to go to Panera today, and I surprisingly acted on it. I was by the Exchange and I thought, "Why not?" So I walked in and was immediately repulsed by the "Panera smell". You know what I'm talking about. So, I ordered my food and spotted my old manager, Christina....who is actually younger than me, and that always bothered me. We got caught up and she told me that this was her last day at this store. So it was a good thing I stopped by when I did, I think. It was nice to see her again, but it made me realize how much I hate that place. I would never work there again. And I probably won't eat there for a long while. Ah well.
Speaking of food, I've become increasingly picky about what I'll eat lately. I'm on this sort of health kick, and I've been denying food cooked by my mother on many occasions. Not only is she angry because of this, but she thinks I'm a vegetarian now. She made pork chops the other day, and I ate some rice instead...and she had this concerned look on her face. "Are you becoming, like, a vegetarian now?" After holding in the laughter, I told her I'm not. "Well, that's a relief." Yea, my mom is special.
What to do? What to do? I think I'm gonna attempt to go back to sleep, so I'm not too incredibly sleepy when I meet up with Cryssi. Yes, I'm hanging out with the super-fun Cryssi today, and am looking forward to yummy food and bubble tea :) woot
