Today was a day off of sorts. I did laundry, I cleaned the apartment (which was starting to look just horrid), I rode the bike, I watched a movie. Which movie, you might ask? The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys, I might answer. It was quite good, although unexpectedly serious and sad at the end. I did really, really like the integration of live-action and animation, though, and I thought Jodie Foster did a great job. Then again, I have a girl crush on Jodie Foster, so that's understandable. Kieran Culkin has grown up to be quite the fine little actor. I want to see he and Rory do something together.

It was ungofly hot in LA today. Eighty degrees of the Farenheit persusaion, y'all. I walked outside, took ten steps, turned around, went back inside, and changed clothes. Walking to the grocery store to pick up a few odds and ends to last me until Thursday (go home!), I probably had a great look of bewilderment on my face as I tried to figure out why the hell it felt like summer in March, for crying out loud. And don't give me that "but Los Angeles is more south-like than many places in the contiguous 48 states, thus, the hotness." It shouldn't be this hot in March! It shouldn't! There is something, like, cosmically wrong with all of this.

Hi, little snowman! He's sitting on my jewelry box, waving at me.

Okay, I have temporarily put the tag-board on the bottom of the page, under all the posts, so look there for the time being. I'm not really happy with it there, though; it's just not as aesthetically pleasing as it would be if I could put it in the side column. We'll see what I can manage, though. Persnickety thing.

I'm incredibly tired right now; I think my body senses when a break from school is imminent and starts shutting down in antici...pation. Next week at this time I'll be getting ten hours of sleep a night, watching KU play some truly triumphant basketball, and hopefully getting a bunch of writing done so I don't have to deal with it later this semester. Go home! Choose home! I just have three more days of school to get through before I fly home on Thursday.

I'm really hoping I can go see "Bringing Down the House" sometime soon; I just like going to the movies, but absolutely nothing has come out lately, so I'm kind of pinning my movie hopes right now on the only decent preview I've seen in a bit. "Dreamcatcher" looks good, though; I'm really just biding time till "Matrix Reloaded" comes out in May. I'm going "squee!" already. I also, still, want Keanu Reeves's coat.

Stupid tagboard. I can't make the blanks underneath the board proper any more narrow. Sniff.

Eee!



Now, to more serious matters...Angel kicked it tonight. Wow. I said in my guestbook last week that I didn't get the Faith love, but I take it back, because she was amazing tonight. Damn it Eliza, make the Faith spin-off! Loved her in the prison, her rapport with Wesley, her smack-down on Connor, and her fight with Satan, which was cool, even if she got all beat up. I loved Angelus's glee when he figured out how to kill Satan; he really is smarter without a soul. But my biggest love for this episode has to go to Wesley. God, that just broke my heart. Either it was all a figment of his imagination, in which case I think he does want to believe Lilah loved him and that he failed her, or Lilah was, somehow, saying goodbye. In which case, she did love him and she was setting him back on the right path, which means he didn't fail her. I don't know which scenario I like best, but in any case, man oh man will I miss Stephanie Romanov. She was simply magnificent on the show. Bravo.
