brokenrecordOk, so this is only going to be interesting to people who know anything about bandom:
So, I'm reading this article in English, and it mentions Beckett, the author who wrote Waiting for Godot (among other things, but that's where I know him from). It doesn't mention his first name, and for some reason I was trying to remember what his first name was. So I'm like "William! William Beckett!" but then I was like "...ok, that name sounds familiar, but not right." And then further into the article it mentions him again and this time says Samuel Beckett (which, what? Isn't one of the rules of formal writing that the first time you mention a person, you use the first and last name, and then later in the article you can use either, generally the last name? Stupid article). So I was like "Oh, right, of course. So why does William Beckett sound so familiar?" And then I had the realization of where I know that name from, and I was just like [facepalm]. Literally, I facepalmed in class. I'm lucky that we were all supposed to be reading the article so no one was watching me, because I looked kind of ridiculous.
Like, I don't think about bandom very often, I don't post about it very often, but it clearly has made its way into my subconscious. This is also evidenced by the fact that when I hear the name "Spencer," I immediately think of Spencer Smith and not my roommate, who also happens to be named Spencer and who I see every day and speak to on a regular basis and whose name is on our door and so on. ugh.
Anyways, my Film Analysis class was canceled today since the professor is at some thing in Washington from yesterday to Monday, which is awesome. I'm probably only going to use it to play around on LJ and the internet and not actually get work done, but whatever. It's a nice break. And I'm not going to have any breaks for the next few weeks, particularly this weekend (ugh, I'm so looking forward to this weekend being over. It's going to suck so much), so I might as well relax a little now.
