"I live in a town
where you can't smell a thing,
you watch your feet
for cracks in the pavement."
My new favorite movie is Since Otar Left. (okay, not really, SLC PUNK! and The Jungle Book are still battling for that honoured spot. I should really look into that growing up thang.) It's beautiful. I just saw it at the Orpheum with my mom, and though she has the same problem with talking during movies as Rachel (Whale Rider and the ensuing deaths, yes, who can forget?) i really liked it. That is all. It will be seen by all someday, i insist.
Also, after not watching any movies or TV since i was last in EC, i noticed just how striking film is. No seriously, media whores ALERT! (RR, this means YOU!) Adbusters does the whole Buy Nothing Day every year, and i think once in awhile we should all do a Watch Nothing Day, or week, at least. It changes perception so efficiently.
Speaking of efficiency, i totally failed a final today! My life is awesome! However, i have now learned the power of cheat sheets, especially when they're allowed and encouraged.
Setting: Class last week
Professor is rambling on about ore deposits through time. I find this quite interesting, because for a change i know what's going on.
P.P.: "Well, the Hadean is really not interesting from an economic perspective. There's just not enough preserved to find any deposits in, even if they formed. Unless... unless... we look on the moon!!"
And yes, i found this so funny i told a later study group for an entirely different class all about it. The resultant conversation proved to me once and for all that i am not the bitterest kid on the block.
You don't even know.
"I wish that they'd sweep down
in a country lane,
late at night when I'm driving.
Take me on board
their beautiful ship,
show me the world
as I'd love to see it."
