i forgot to mention too that i got my car back. yes that’s right. 2 months and 9 days later, my lovely little car was finally returned to me. i am now driving it again and i keep getting really confused by the height and the steering and the brakes. it seems very tempting to buy a new car. a smaller car. possibly a slightly less responsive car. everyone else is doing it. why can’t i get a new car too?

ok so i have a paper due today. TODAY. am i done writing it? have i started? no and no. and here it is my last day at work too. and i need to be typing typing. and instead i am looking at cars and schools and writing on this webpage. argh! such procrastination! so dumb!

now this is what i have so far:

“Due to an increasing awareness of globalization, my personal approach to film theory has become eclectic. While attending a class wherein one can ask a person of Chinese descent currently living in China what a certain usage of language really translates to, is an example of the eradication of boundaries between seekers of knowledge and learning. Being introduced to other cultures by travel is a novel experience but one which can not be accomplished too frequently due to money concerns. On the other hand, immersing ones self in a movie for 2 hours is an easy and economical way of becoming more acquainted with foreign cultures and ideas. While watching the films for this paper, my consciousness was bombarded with images in direct contradiction to one another. The Virgin Suicides is an idyllic, nostalgic look at a faded time and a lifestyle striving to attain perfection while ultimately failing. The Storm Riders is a stylistic tour de force wire-fu film trying to capture a moment in time that is changing and potentially dying. The two films do not seem as they would have much in common�an Indie romantic drama and a Hong Kong action blockbuster�however I would argue that actually they have much in common with their approach to creating something new; albeit for slightly differing reasons, use of music to convey mood, ”

that’s where i’ve stopped. groan. oh man i am so screwed.
