Aha! I had the foresight to watch Bridesmaids in the afternoon today instead of at night. (I liked it, by the way.) I also have … uh, 22 words to my name. Shhh, it's progress, okay!

ETA: It's 1:58 AM on Friday, and my essay is now up to 265 words. Okay. This is good. For now, sleep.

I'm thinking of making this here blog friends-only, since I'm often venturing into more personal territory nowadays. I'll still leave reviews public, however. I'm not sure if I should lock the previous entries -- that's what's daunting me, to be honest!

On a slightly unrelated note, I searched "elschmo livejournal" the other night out of ( Read more... )

I sat for a test -- for EN3222 -- this morning, got it back in the afternoon. I did okay; 5/10. It was one of that strange breed of literature test that requires one to have a photographic memory, to be able to recall who said what and in what order, etc. I hope that the offerings I made to the Bell Curve God before the test were good enough to ( Read more... )

In three days, I'll be flying to KL to catch Arsenal live and watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the latter with seanachais. To say that I'm excited would be a gross understatement ( Read more... )

Good news! Exam results have been updated in accordance with the S/U exercise, and I now have a nice CAP of 3.5! I'm still that not pleased with the CAP (could've done better, messed up, etc.), but well, at least I'm still in Second Class (Lower)!

The module outline for EN3243 - Science Fiction and Fantasy - is out, including essay topics! I'm so ( Read more... )

Here are the modules I'm taking this semester! (I suppose the earliness of 2009's and 2010's Top 100 Sexiest Men ought to make up for the lateness of this ... right?)

• Shakespeare in His Time and Ours (EN3229)
  
• Literature and Psychoanalysis (EN3241)
  
• Tragedy (EN3268)
  
• Genes and Society (GEK1527)

Yup, I'm taking just four modules this semester. ( Read more... )

What have I been up to as of late?

Eins! I watched Resident Evil: Afterlife two weekends ago with Sis #2 and seanachais. The review is here; I gave it 3/5.

Zwei! I went to KL last weekend. It was a last-minute trip that Dad planned, and since I was on my term break, why not. I bought a T-shirt; and Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Kelly Link's Pretty ( Read more... )

School starts next week. Shock! Horror! ... Relief. Though it's a return to the mundane, it's a return to the mundane with purpose. I'm running out of things to do! However, I'm proud to announce that because of the break, I've gotten to watch 84 movies this year; 61 of those records were amassed during the break, including a self-set challenge, ( Read more... )

I watched Inception again - this time, with Sis #1. What can I say, I can be very persuasive when I want to. This isn't a second review, however: more like a collection of thoughts that I had during this viewing. It ranges from the random to the ... well, there might be a couple of gems in there; the keyword here is "might", because with a film ( Read more... )
