i wasn't invited to go, christmas vacation
Okay, Christmas is so so soon - two sleeps in fact! - and I'm super excited, even more than I usually am, because of the Nintendo DS that will be in my hot little hands come Christmas morning. I've promised that I won't play it until Christmas Day - and I can't now because I wrapped up all the games - so I've resorted to watching videos on youtube ( Read more... ) -
My Week in Films: 22nd October - 28th October, 2007
I just tried to log into livejournal using my myspace details! What's wrong with this equation? EVERYTHING. As I realized what I had done, I just thought "Jess, what have you become?"

My Week in Films: 15th October - 21st October, 2007
Monkey Grip (Ken Cameron, 1982) - 7.5/10
Okay, so when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, Noni Hazlehurst - who stars in this film - was the host of a kids show "Play School" and a lifestyle program "Better Homes & Gardens." Thus, I was totally not mentally or emotionally prepared for seeing her COMPLETELY BUTT NAKED IN THIS FILM! It was kind of ( Read more... ) -
My Past Seven Weeks in Films: 26th August - 14th October, 2007
So that's it. It's out of my hands now. It doesn't feel like it's ~gone~ though, you know. I've had a really shitty headache all day, so maybe that's withdrawal symptoms or something! The moment of a feeling of completion will come soon enough, there was a spark of that when I was printing it out yesterday. Now I'm going to take a few days off, and ( Read more... ) -
no matter what they say, don't believe a word
Okay, so I was suffering from some serious existential angst and cursing myself for ever even thinking that writing a thesis would be a good idea. But then I got some last minute release tickets for me and Alyssa to the Fall Out Boy show on Friday night and all is well again. I'm not even kidding. Just ignore the fact that this is just one more ( Read more... ) -
Are we wasting time, or is it wasting us?
Zing. I applied for a credit card with a $3000 limit, I received one with a $22500 limit. Is that normal? It's like the bank's just dying for me to fuck up.
I've got the cold from hell at the moment - I know who I caught it from too, serves me right for going out drinking with cold-ridden delinquents- and I feel so shit. I had to go to class on ( Read more... ) -
My Week in Films: 27th August - 2nd September, 2007
Okay, so there's really no point even posting a film post this week because I DIDN'T WATCH ONE FILM. Well, I started watching one, but I turned it off halfway through and went to bed, but I don't count a film until I've finished watching it. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS TURN OF EVENTS? This would have to be the first week since probably late 2004 that I've ( Read more... ) -

I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun
I skipped class again. Normally I wouldn't write anything about it on livejournal - unless it was exceptional circumstances like last weeks display of retardation from my fellow classmates - but I feel like doing so today. I think again it was not really wanting to be around people like those who I'm stuck with for plus hours on a Wednesday ( Read more... ) -
