you move slow like daytime drama.

Yes, I realize perfectly I haven't written in two weeks. One word: finals. I'm not going to go in depth about how I basically bombed all of them and barely got the grades (if I did, at all). No...it's the weekend, and I'll push off the thought of school until Monday, when it actually all starts to matter. I've been living the past few days running with a high fever and a runny nose, feeling a huge migraine while I stayed up until 2 AM packing in Bohr equations and expansion by cofactors into my head. So I am fucking done talking about school.

I just visited the Be Kind, Rewind site. First, the movie concept is great-Jack Black has a magnetized brain and he works at a video rental store, so he has accidentally erased all these films. So he and his partner Mos Def recreate all these classics, like Ghostbusters and 2001: A Space Odyssey and a whole lot more, and people fall in love. I am about to fall in love with this movie, especially since it's by Michel Gondry, the Eternal Sunshine director. He even created a trailer where his own trailer was destroyed, so he and his buddies had to recreate the trailer. So creative. And what's more, the movie site "destroys" your internet and out pops Google, with their own versions of Myspace and a savvy search engine. This concept is just amazing and I wish I had the guts to pull it off. Needless to say, I'm counting down until 2/22.

This month overall is pretty exciting. No, I'm not getting my driver's this month, which is really good considering I almost crashed into a car making a left turn yesterday. But there's a multitude of parties, and more exciting things. Um well yes, there are shitty things like people consistently asking who I'm asking to Vice, or SAT scores on the 14th, or grades in general...but let's not think about that, shall we? I'm just putting it out there, this month is already great and can only get better from here. I hope.

One last thing: yes, I got the Olympus XA! It came in a handy and crusty old box (it was 12 years old, apparently) with its A11 flash. I took about 20 minutes finding where to put in the batteries, and what all the controls were. And I miserably failed at my first attempt to load film. But now, I just need subjects to photograph. I'm pretty excited but I also have a feeling I'll never get around to it until at least summertime. I hope not...I want to make use of my camera, considering it was really expensive and I feel horribly guilty for making my friend buy it for me.

And yes...that's about all for now (forgive me, I'm brain dead and lazy from 12 hours of sleep).
