forget about your last goodbye's and you'll be sorry's
I am not going to pretend to be above liking pop music. Spitalfield's new album has a track entitled Secrets in Mirrors. I am not sure what that really means. To me, it makes me think about slumber parties circa 1995, when I was 14, and we'd play games like ... well I can't remember the name right now but it involved invoking this woman in a mirror by saying her name"mary" like 5 times or something. I'm totally not getting that from the song and the lyrics...so I doubt thats what it is implying - it sounds more like making a mistake or something...as I adeptly attune myself to the phrase "we've gone about this all wrong." Whatever, I still love it. I love bad music, what can i say...i use that word "bad" in a way that obviously includes poppy rock and less obviously excludes music played on the radio...so. Thoughts for the day.
Last night I was completely wiped out. I don' t know why thursdays are so hard for me - its like I can go quite strong from M-Th, but come Th night, so tired. Friday is another redeemable day - I can study straight through the day and night but Thursdays...no, not going to happen. I worked on some LS exercises, and that was pretty bad. My brain just didn't have the patience to scour the manual and piece together the relevant rules for one hypo exercise. I threw the book down and screamed Fuck you ALWD. Trying again today, in a calmer and more resigned mood, I actually did much better - 5/6 but it didn't diminish the loathing feeling that resides in my stomach when it comes to these stupid exercises. I mean, I really, really, and I say this with some experience, doubt that the Sup Ct or App Ct turns down briefs for spacing errors. Andnotlikeobviousones like that but more like So. 2d or So.2d. Whatever.
I am really excited that today is Friday be/c that means a few things for me: 1. Seeing the Departed tonight (HOLY CRAP IM SO EXCITED). 2. Probably going out to dinner. 3. Can sleep in tomorrow (anything past 6am is GREAT NEWS). 4. Two days of uninterrupted studying for my Contracts midterm. Hmm, thats just incredibly exciting and is really the good life, isn't it? I feel as though my outline is sort of weak so having this time to reevaluate and look over the samples will be so reassuring for me. I also finished the FOUR HOUR LS library research - thank God for that.
Basically my mind is completely dominated with school out of necessity and fear. I have gotten picked on a bit too much these last couple classes - not really liking that. I'm never egregiously wrong and no one points and laughs but lets just say I am never ever 100% confident about my thoughts nowadays...the certainty of me v the certainty of the law and the certainty of what the prof wants are never symetrical.
Finally, I watched the last half of that show Ugly Betty last night. Its weird. Half comedy half movie/drama half...just odd almost Christian like morals being pushed...but it is ABC so...anyway, to my surprise, Eric Mabius, who some may remember as 1) the mean dean from the OC who wanted marissa and ryan OUT and 2) the gay football player in Cruel Intentions, stars with jet black, super cute hair. It was a perplexing 30 minutes for me as I tried to make sense of just what the overall "aim" of the show is, outside of lasting past the pilot. I am still a little confused but will probably keep watching...thats what they do, hook you in and then you're addicted.
One more thing, last night I was trying to figure out David Lynch's new movie (can you tell I really was unmotivated last night?) and I somehow got linked on Wikipedia to Kyle Maclachlan's page and I saw the most amazing thing. Really, you MUST check this out. These people are after my own heart. THESE ARE REALLY HIS DOGS. Make sure you watch the You Tube episode too. AMAZING. Makes me love him more.
Okay and then this: I really want to go to Tehran. Eduardo spoke to his friend Sassan last night who has a home there and I think it might happen. I need to figure out if i'll be allowed back in to America cause thats really the defining make or break factor but I really want to go, maybe this summer. We also are planning on hopefully going back to the UK sooner than later, what with the realization of the giant SLIDES in the Tate Modern. They had nothing like that when we were there this past Spring. Giant slides as art, and, as the artist stated, possibly as a part of public transit someday. Can you imagine that? Sliding your way to work. As much as I want that to happen, its probably not likely but I appreciate that somewhere, there is an artist/engineer possibly trying to orchestrate it for our future.
