Why'd the Boy Throw the Clock Out the Window?

So he could see time fly! Heh get it, he threw the clock, flying time... ok, I thought it was funny.

Well, its been a while hasn't it? Sadly I have been just swamped with homework and projects these last couple of weeks. All of my professors decided to put things off until the last minute and were cramming to get a bunch of projects in before Thanksgiving break. Although I am pretty proud of myself, I managed to write two 6 page papers in the course of one week. I'd have to say though, the paper on Vikings was much more exciting than my theatre paper.

So this last week was a lot of fun, but went by way too fast. (I think it has something to do with that warped reality thing) But it was great, I got to see all my old buddies, saw a couple of movies, and ate a ton of delicious food. My sister is studying to become a chef, so our Thanksgiving was pretty spectacular, and for a late birthday present, she made me a New York style cheesecake. Oh my goodness, she can make the best cheesecakes ever! It was just right, and luckily I snagged the leftovers and brought them back to school with me.

So far this semester I haven't really had the chance to see many movies, but I made up for it over the break and managed to see 4 new movies. On Saturday I think, I went to see Twilight with my best bud. She was the one who originally got me to read the books, so it was kind of exciting. We got to the theatre and there was a gaggle of highschool girls sitting in the first few rows, so we went up and sat towards the back in front of the only two guys in the theatre. Now I wanted to like this movie, really I did, the books were my guilty pleasure in high school. But sadly this movie was "epic fail" literally. It was just terrible. You could tell they were trying, but for me, they just picked the wrong guy to play the lead. You could tell that every time he spoke he was trying too hard to sound like an american. In the end it just didn't do it for me. So I gave up and just laughed through the whole thing, I couldn't help it. But somehow I don't think the girl sitting next to me appreciated it, I got a lot of "shh's". But I don't we were the only ones who didn't like it, the guys sitting behind us were laughing just a much. It actually made the movie pretty fun.

Now to make up for such a bad movie, on Monday my dad and I went and saw the new James Bond movie. Now I grew up watching the old Bond films with my dad, so this was a trip down memory lane, and was a lot of fun. I really liked the film, to me it seemed like it went back to the older Bond films. True there was a lot of action sequences, maybe too much for me, and sometimes they were hard to follow, but they were still impressive. I think I might have liked Quantum of Solace more than Casino Royale.

The other two movies we rented on DVD. The first, The Journey to the Center of the Earth was not nearly as entertaining without the 3D glasses. In fact, it wasn'at that great of a movie especially with all the characters randomly pointing things at the screen for no reason at all... The other was 88 Minutes, which seemed exciting being set in Seattle, but really ended up being 140 minutes too long. It was one of those movies where there was lots of action, but nothing ever really happened. And I didn't really care if any of the characters survived becuase they were all terrible people, and pretty much just jerks.

Other than watching movies, I got to see all my old friends who are at CBC, which was great. And when we went to Shari's at Midnight on Friday, we ran into almost all the Drammies. It was crazy. So while the last few weeks have been crazy, the break made up for them and brought a much needed rest before finals. It was strange though, being home, I ended up missing Pullman by the end of the week. While I loved seeing my family and friends, I missed all the freedom I have at school, and not being asked where I'm going at midnight on a Tuesday, or why I didn't come home until 3 am. I definitely enjoy being at school, Christmas break will be interesting.

Dads and, Coffee Tables, and Papers, Oh My!
