Haven't been updating much, but nothing much has been going on. Almost half-way done with summer school, and econ is still as boring as hell. But poli sci is going well, so at least there's that.

This afternoon I went to see Over the Hedge with Galaxy, Richard, and Elizabeth. The movie was actually pretty entertaining, which I didn't expect it to be. I usually don't like that kind of movie, but it was cute. And it was fun seeing Galaxy since she spent the past week or so in Boston doing this bio program or something. And Elizabeth, because I won't see her very often when she goes to USC.

Oh and then after the movie we were hanging out for a little and we went to Tower Records and they had this little section with a bunch of DVDs for only $5 and Galaxy saw the second Bridget Jones movie there and she totally freaked out and somehow managed to make every single Bridget Jones DVD fall onto the ground. It was pretty good. But yeah, we both ended up getting it because, dude. $5! ...now I just need to find the first for $5! The first is better, but I still really like the second, so I'm happy to have it. I've been meaning to get them both on DVD for awhile.

I finished Sports Night yesterday. Sad it got cancelled, because it was really awesome (especially after it ditched the laugh track). I don't know, I guess I don't have much more to say than that. I just really enjoyed it. Next up is My So-Called Life and then probably Entourage. Not starting them for a few days, though. I have first drafts of my 3 UC essays due to my college counselor next Wednesday. They actually shouldn't be too bad, they're just one that's 600 words and 2 that are 200 (which is like nothing. I write near to like 500 words in each entry here) and I have them all outlined and I know what I'm writing about, I just have to actually write them. But I promised myself I'd wait until after I finished the essays to start My So-Called Life, because I'm afraid once I start, I won't be able to stop. So yeah.

Edit: ...I think some kids just set off some fireworks in front of my house. Fourth of July was over a week ago, you idiots! If my house burns down, I'm going to fucking kill them.

lakj Arrested Development was so freaking good and it always is and I really hope that wasn't the last episode ever. Someone better pick it up.

I did end up renting Bridget Jones and Love Actually on Sunday and watched them both. I do think the first Bridget Jones is much better than the second, but I still really like the second. I think it helped for me that I saw the second first, so when the first was better I wasn't disappointed. Seeing them in the right order, I'd probably have been disappointed by the second. Also, there needs to be a movie solely consisting of Hugh Grant and Colin Firth fighting. That would be excellent.

I liked Love Actually a lot, too. I don't know if I would have liked it as much as if I wasn't so... invested, I guess, in some of the actors (Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightly to some extent), but I was, so I did really like it.

I read one of the books I got for Christmas today, The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler. I really enjoyed it. But I think I need to read Jane Austen's other 4 books first before I'd really love it. It was very interesting, though, and I loved reading the parts about Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

All Southern auditions on Saturday and I'm pretty screwed, but oh well. All I can do is practice every night until the audition and hope that everyone else sucks more than me.

Friending meme! Welcome to all my new friends! :)

Happy New Years to everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful New Years Eve and have a wonderful year. :) I spent last night at Emma's house. Soan was there at the beginning and we all watched the second Bridget Jones Diary movie and I haven't seen the first, but I really enjoyed the second anyways. And Hugh Grant and Colin Firth! This just amuses me incredibly because of seeing Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice and Hugh Grant in Sense and Sensibility, although I'm not sure why it amuses me as much as it does. And now I desperately want to see the first because I hear it's better and I was also promised by Emma and Soan that the first one has a much better fight scene. So yes. I think I might go to Blockbuster and rent it today along with Love Actually, which I've been meaning to rent for like a month now.

Anyways, after that Soan had to go soon so we saw Nightmare Before Christmas because it was shorter and she left and then Emma and I saw the BBC Pride and Prejudice. We started it about 2 hours in because we both had seen the beginning and we stopped it for when it became midnight and then actually managed to finish it and somewhere along the night I became incredibly obsessed with Colin Firth (as opposed to just really, really liking him, and I'm not exactly sure how that happened but it did) and now need to see more movies with him in it. And then we began to watch some of Monty Python but we were tired of watching movies so Emma got out one of the things she's giving me for my birthday and we somehow managed to play with it for 2 hours and I'm not sure how that happened but by then it was 4 and we went to sleep. And yeah, tired now, which I think you can probably tell from how many run-on sentences exist in this post.

So yeah. In any case, it was a fun night. And now I need to get lunch and possibly go to Blockbuster if I can ever find my Blockbuster card. I'll catch up on comments eventually. And I should also practice for All Southern considering the audition is Saturday and the last time I played bass clarinet was 2 months ago. I'm not sure that this audition is going to go very well. We'll see.
