lesbiassparrow1. Not written my paper for next weekend. I shall be reduced to summarizing the plot plus a festive interpretive dance
2.Seen the horror that is Red Dawn. Or about 15 minutes of it; that's got to rank highly up there on the crappiest films ever made category. This prompted me to look up that other dreadful show about the Soviet Union taking over America, Amerika. If you go to imdb to look up this treat be prepared to be very entertained by the comments there about how true this is and how this would have happened if Bush (either one of them) had not won their elections. In 2000 someone wrote this gem "The only thing detrimental about this series was its length. But that was probably the best way to demonstrate the gradual takeover of our country by communists. It demonstrated perfectly how our freedoms can be taken away, not with a single hard swipe, but incrementally one by one until there are no more. I am still surprised that this series came out of Hollywood, knowing their far-left political bent." Hahahhaha. I wonder if they're still thinking the threat to civil liberties comes from communists in 2008.
3. Gotten annoyed at all of the secondary characters in Bad Love. Feck off with trying to tell me I should have sympathy for evil wife's woes, because I refuse to. YOU HAD AN AFFAIR TOO!!!!! So stop with the 'you evil woman! you slept with my husband, etc.!' moaning. And Eyebrows? You sending in a doppleganger of the hero's first love and then saying that you didn't intend any misery to occur to the heroine is just trying to have your cake and eat it.
4. Spent an inordinate amount of money on hair and spa visit. So even if my paper doesn't get finished I will hopefully have great skin.
5. Watched many ads for 10,000 BC and been astonished that this a) isn't a SciFi channel production and b) people expect you to spend good money going to see this.
ETA 6: Decided I really like the genre of creepy island films, the best of which is the old Wicker Man. Having been raised on one I like the idea that everyone thinks that we are all having good, crazy times abducting tourists, having great times at pagan rituals, and living forever by using other people's blood.

I have never understood that saying. Of course you want to have your cake and eat it. The whole purpose of having a cake is to eat it. What else are you going to do with it. :)
