I don't know why I all of a sudden stop posting when I get on break. I haven't really been doing much. I went to a Scottish festival with some friends on Saturday which was kind of cool but got kind of boring at the end. On Sunday I watched The Brothers Bloom with my parents which was awesome. One of my favorite movies I've seen this year, and definitely my favorite movie that's come out of 2009 so far (of course, I've seen 3 movies from this year so far, so I suppose that's not saying very much).

I have basically zero interest in American Idol typically, but all the posting about Adam and Kris on my flist led me to finally check out what was going on, and I ended up watching most of the episodes (from the Top 13 on; I hate the audition episodes), and... I really, really love Kris's voice! I feel so weird because basically everyone I've seen adores Adam's voice and think he's the best, and while I don't dislike him, I really, really prefer Kris's voice. He's the only one I could really see listening to much. His version of Heartless is just ridiculously amazing and I've listened to it way too many times at this point. Adam is a brilliant performer so he was always fun to watch, and he has a great range, but... I don't know. I just like the tone of Kris's voice more and the stuff he sings. I liked Allison a lot too; I could maybe see myself listening to her in the future. The friendship between Kris and Adam is like one of the most epically amazing and adorable things EVER and I adore all the videos I've seen of them together.

Anyways, I should be finding a job or something to do this summer, but over the past two or three days, I've gotten sick (nothing too bad, just a really painful sore throat and cold thing), so I've been putting it off. I just don't feel motivated or well enough to really do anything productive. I think I'll wait until next week. I still haven't even finished unpacking my stuff from the trip, so I feel like I should probably do that at some point.

lkjsdf my professor just pushed back the due date of the paper until Friday at 11:50 PM! I'm not sure if this is really awesome or not very helpful. I mean, I have a test Friday and I need to find a new data set by Friday (and hopefully before then so I can run it by the professor). But that makes me feel a little less stressed out right now. I do have a quiz in Diff Eq tomorrow morning, and I need to do the homework and actually understand it so I get another 20 and can drop that one awful quiz. Plus, 11:50 PM means I can work on it after class on Friday. Not my ideal Friday night activity, but I might need that extra time. And I should be done by then anyways. Ok, I've decided this is definitely awesome. I can put together a rough idea of the paper today, then spend time on the other stuff I need to do, and then go through and edit on Friday afternoon/night. Ah this is great. :D

The full theatrical trailer for (500) Days of Summer was released here and I'm so excited for this movie. One of my most anticipated for this year. My other most anticipated movies right now are Sunshine Cleaning (which will be out in a few weeks! Unfortunately not until after spring break is over. Unless it's playing in limited release where I live, but I doubt it), The Brothers Bloom (I was ridiculously excited for this when it was supposed to come out last October, but then they pushed it till November, and then May! Ridiculous. It better be awesome), and Gigantic. I've never actually seen Zooey Daschnel in anything, so it's kind of random that two of my most anticipated movies of the year include her. There are other movies I'm pretty excited for, too, but these are the ones that match most what I feel like watching right now, I guess. And luckily Sunshine Cleaning and Gigantic will be out relatively soon (even though I probably won't be able to see either until May, when the semester is over).

Speaking of movies, I'm still not sure whether I want to read Watchmen before seeing the movie or after. I'm still where I was in January, about 2 1/2 chapters in. Time isn't really an issue since I don't even know when I'll be able to see it. I mean, I could see it during Spring Break, but I don't think my parents will be interested in seeing it, and I don't know if any of my friends have the same Spring Break as me.
