Have I mentioned that I really fucking love The Lion King? There's something so absolutely classic and timeless about it. The music, the themes, the characters, they resound in my mind, and I see shadows of them in everything. It's so bloody archetypal. It's about shame and ignorance and redemption and sorrow. It's about overcoming the past, ( Read more... )

If you could quantify friendship, how would you measure up against your peers?  Would you care?

I think I'm becoming a bookworm.  I'm not kidding when I say that I'm books and lead and kisses.  I want to produce ideas in scores.  I want to digest text in droves.  I want to love paper and flesh until the two are inextricable.  It'll be a glorious, ( Read more... )

I was walking across campus today toward one of my classes when I noticed from afar a line of students marching, holding banners, and passionately chanting a slogan which I couldn't quite make out.

It is the most halfassed conglomeration of Matrix-esque stylizing, excessive/irrational/dance-like asskicking, pathetic scriptwriting, and total plotlessness that I have ever experienced. Words fail to describe the complete shittiness of this film. Please, whatever you do ( Read more... )

The last several weeks have been a refreshing dose of eased pressure. Revisiting home and hearth while mingling with the usual Wellingtonians have been the activities occupying most of my time, which is wonderful because it gives me the opportunity to release the stress which seemed to crescendo during finals week (though that was admittedly some ( Read more... )

I feel so goddamn verbose.

Last night I stayed up uber late putting together a speech which was due today, so I was exhausted all day long; regardless, I had planned to take a trip with some classmates to some witch/ghost/spiritualistic town that lies about thirty minutes from the campus, Cassadaga. Resisting the temptation to take a rain check and nap it through, I went ( Read more... )

Don't hate me just because I'm a vegetarian.
