this side of the blue

had my first Psych class last night. twas pretty interesting! i'm glad this is only a six week course. wish i could get them all over with like that. i'm sort of regretting now that i haven't registered for more summer courses. i think i could have handled a couple more online classes or something. ah well. at least i booked my Fall semester pretty well!

i watched The Reader a couple nights ago. it was superb! one of the best films of 08 for me, i think. it was harrowing and bittersweet. i can't stop thinking about it.

i also watched a dud recently: Sunshine. It isn't horrible, but i dunno, sci fi just aint my "thang". i denied this when James said it to me, but now that i think about it, i can't even think of one single sci fi film i really warmed up to. does Star Wars count? i do love Episode V. and yeah, i like some other sci fi. Alien, Sphere [loved Sphere!] Sunshine wasn't even all that bad until the dude with no skin showed up and started knifing people. that was pretty lame. i about had enough by then. and just the last few minutes was just... BORING and vomit inducing.

The Reader, though. see that!

just started reading 1984 by Orwell. can you believe i've never read it before? it pulled me in from nearly the first page, so bleached_decay from Movieforums would be happy to hear that. i need to finish it quicker than i've been reading lately so i can start reading the next Pendragon book by my birthday!

i have cramps. fuck it.
