filler

I just don't know what the past two days have been. Weird, check. Depressing, check. Moments of complete despair, check. Little uplifting glimmers, check. NYU shuttle still shitty, check.

So last night I prescribed something for the weirdness of my life: drunkkkkkennesss.
And that worked, for the night at least. Went to Sammy's show, found a great chinese restaurant in St. Marks, believe it or not (didn't know it existed until last night), Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture (belligerent), and then ended the night watching/half dozing to Love Actually.

Today, I forced myself to sit in the library and do some work; but first, I sat in the park to read 'Notes from the Undergound' in the park with a hot cuppa coffee. That was nice. Then went to Bobst to start the real work and after an hour felt stifled so I went to Kimmel to try and finish the piece I've been working on (totally a fluff piece but I find it comically endearing) and let me tell you, I have never sounded so good. I know it sounds conceited, but a night of drinking and smoking dropped my voice a few levels and it does wonders. Anyway.

I called my dad while I was Bobst just to say hello, and we didn't talk for very long because he was busy. But then later on in the night he left me a long voice message on my phone, just rambling as he was driving, telling me that there was some ice on Knik River, etc...and that he thought I sounded a little sad before when we talked at the library, and hoped I was happy and enjoying life and told me he loved me. I saved the voice message.

Then went to see Pride & Prejudice with Emily and Kelsey. It isn't the 5 hour A&E version (which....I LOVE), but for what it was, it was good. I personally thought the cinematography was great - along the lines of Amelie and Finding Neverland with the twisting and extreeeemely long and complicated single shots. The music as well.

Harry Potter next Thursday *squeal* -- yeah I'm a Potterphile, I'll openly admit it.
Naima: Potterphile or pedophile??
Me: Um.....
Naima: You hesitated, that's not good.

Speaking of which, talked with Naima for a good two hours on the phone today. I could practically feel my brain melting after an hour or so. But it was worth it.

I have an incredible amount of work. To be honest, a part of me is somewhat unhappy right now but I hate melodrama just as much as the next person so I just need enough energy and motivation to tell the right people to fuck off (and by 'right people' i mean the assholes) and just plow on, you know? I keep getting distracted.

Also, I officially declared my major in Politics. Weird. I have yet to meet a Poli major who isn't an asshole (wait I totally take that back, because there's Stan, Priya, and Venice, and they are the exceptions.) Exciting. Whatever, I'm countering it with a minor in French and I have yet to meet someone in the French department who isn't awesome and great and friendly, so....yeah.

I'm tired, good night.
