You know, it was a very good film. In fact, I think it was fantastic, maybe not top 5, or even top 10, but very good nonetheless. I wasn't sure if I would like it, mainly because I am a sucker for story and dialog and there was so little of it, but I did ( Read more... )

Overall things seem to be going well for me. I am studying for the GREs, working and finishing up my grad school applications. I keep telling myself, after I get this done I will have lots of free time, but there keeps being something else to do. I am almost resigned to the notion that I will never have free time again.

I usually come to this realization before an event happens, I assume the worst and if the outlook looks overly bleak, I don't even really entertain the best. Instead I relegate myself to the worst case scenario and act as if it were the ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning and ran even though I have a little bit of my cold left. The weather seemed appropriate with my recent feelings, which seem to continue. I wonder if the weather is part of the impetus or merely coincidental. Needless to say, I am considering going up to my Brother's for Thanksgiving, that would be a nice vacation. I need ( Read more... )
