I've hardly been online in a week! And I haven't read LJ at ALL since October 22. Seriously! So if I missed anything important, including fic, PLEEEEEASE link me
( Read more... )
I haven't posted my Halloween pictures of me yet, so you have missed nothing important.
I haven't seen Chinatown but I know some of the big scenes that go with it; I think knowing random film references comes from watching as much Simpsons as I do. But since you gave it such a glowing recommendation, I'll have to add it to my netflix queue. I've never heard of Hard Times; let me know what it's like!
And this is my last "normal" five-day week until after Thanksgiving (which is on the 26th this year)? Woohoo! :)
Do you have a bunch of teacher work days? I know that VA schools have tomorrow and Tuesday off for workdays/elections (so of course tomorrow, hundreds of college students will be descending on campus for a tour).
Not exactly. Five-day week this week, then Veterans Day the following Wednesday (which means going out to the cemetery, etc.), then a "late arrival" day the Wednesday after that--meetings in the morning, kids come 2 hours late--then it's Thanksgiving week. :) And then only 3 weeks until Christmas break! This autumn is speeding by, I swear.
Ooh, that's nice! I miss having half-days like that. It was always such a good break, and I'm sure it's an even better one for teachers.
This autumn is speeding by, I swear.
I know! I can't believe I've already registered for next semester's classes and that it's November 1. Where does the time go? And why are so many research papers due in November?
wow, i can't believe there's anyone who hasn't seen Chinatown - I don't mean that in a WTF sense, it's just that I was in jr high school when it came out and I've probably seen it 15 times. Every couple of years or so.
It is a truly spectacular film in all respects. Writing, acting, cinematography. the works.
Enjoy the class... it seem like it would be something I'd enjoy too but I'm too lazy. We have a huge film program here, but I just can't quite get myself to take classes.
I've been wanting to do this screenwriting thing for years, literally, so when I found the classes were available--and something I can afford, if I'm really really careful with my money--well, there was no question; I just HAD to do it. :)
