11:27p - I've been MIA. Uh, sorry.
It's getting toward the end of the semester, and I'm going a bit berko. Mostly in anticipation of the 40 pages I have to write by the end of the semester, which I haven't started yet.
I probably get all keyed up and then don't actually start work for days and days for a reason. There must be some function for this extremely odd defense mechanism. Perhaps it's that by putting it off until the last minute, I'm keyed up for a shorter time. Maybe I'm in denial about the work I have to do. Maybe I'm self-sabotaging. Anyway, it's stupid.
More upsettingly, I've been slipping. I referred to myself with a gender specific pronoun. Not just once. A lot. Not like being myself is a discipline or anything, but there are bad habits connected with how I was raised that I want to break out of.
In the World of Normality (tm), I saw X2. It was a definite improvement over the first one. Subtle symbolism, social commentary, actual human interaction (aside from Halle Berry's wooden acting and after-school-special lines), and also some nice action-flick stunts and special FX. I look forward to the eye-candy (and hopefully SOME braincandy) of the Matrix Reloaded, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen looks very interesting, even if a radical departure from the comic series by Alan Moore. And this coming from a person who hates movies.
Now, to sleep. And to sleep, perchance to dream. Perchance to wake from the dream of waking.
current mood: frantic prickle green pear thing
current music: Kula Shaker- Mystical Machine Gun (comment on this)
