I decided to finally rectify the fact that I'm probably the only person who managed to get through the American public school system without reading Catch-22 (and by "I," I mean "my best friend"; and by "decided" I mean, "forced the book upon me under the guise of a birthday present"). And you know, all I really have to say is ( I don't even know why I'm spoiler cutting, because I feel that even those of you who haven't yet read it deserve to be forewarned )

I debated about posting this now because I haven't really finished up with Deep Space Nine -- I still have to go back and watch the first season, one of the unfortunate side effects of being bound to syndications schedules -- but after watching "What You Leave Behind" this morning I've been stuck in this feeling of ending and completion and over, ( Read more... )

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post your this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along ( Read more... )

In the past four hours or so since I sat down at my computer to do my homework, I have ( Read more... )

As expected, classes have started and I have subsequently dropped off the face of LJ. I'm still here, I swear! And really, school is a pretty lame excuse for not posting in the past few weeks; I didn't end up getting into the Ancient Greece and Rome class that I wanted, so I'm only taking 13 credit hours this semester. Ridiculous amounts of free ( Read more... )

To make the movie meme a bit easier, I added an extra keyword to every one that hadn't been guessed yet. So, uh, go see if you've gotten any smarter over night!

I've been on a real gangster kick lately. I just finished watching 'G' Men this morning -- I love how, even after watching a gazillion gangster movies with James Cagney, they just never ( Read more... )
