Hi Everyone,
I've just come off of eight straight hours of studying (don't worry I broke for lunch) so my brain is completely fried. Hopefully tomorrow I will be unfried (or would that be defrosted, it's too late to be witty) so I can take an incredibly fun final all on everything I learned here in Santa Barbara. And after that....a portfolio review!!! Boy I just love December, don't you?
I actually just joined this website, don't worry it's not dangerous or anything, where you can see what all your friends are reading. In other words it's a social network for booklovers-it's called Shelfari. It's really nifty. And yes, I do realize this does solidify my somewhat hobbit status but in a good way. So if you like to read, I recommend you join so I can see what books I'm missing because there are plenty out there.
I finally saw "New Moon." And for all of you out there who are wondering, I took Juicebox. The attendant wouldn't let him in at first, but I reason there's a wolf in the movie so a koala was harmless. Juicebox is a sucker for romance and vampires (so I guess he fits in with mainstream society now). I think he was the only one who rooted for Edward in the theatre. He wasn't complaining though when Jacob took off his shirt in pretty much every scene (including to clean a very small cut on her head which I still can't figure out). In fact he was cheering...along with everyone else in the theatre. Now of course he had a Peach smoothie (I had to smuggle that in-don't tell anyone). He really wanted pistachios but unfortunately they don't sell those there and I was not about to go on a pistachio hunt before the movie.
I recently watched Audrey Hepburn in "Wait until Dark" without Juicebox (he went to a rave and he hates thrillers) and now think she's an incredible actress. I will never look at Alan Arkin the same again either-it was such a good movie! I wonder if thrillers have lost their touch since it's less about suspense now and more about the shock factor. Anyway I'm off to do something Christmassy-not quite sure what yet-maybe have hot chocolate or eat some plum pudding, oh what I don't have plum pudding shucks! Happy Holidays!
