Waiting Again

Actually, I shouldn't be waiting. Or at least, waiting shouldn't be the only think I'm doing. We're getting to the end of the school year out here. In a couple of weeks, I should have turned in all of my assignments for the term, assuring that in order to graduate next March, I'll only have to show up for my seminar and turn in a massive 80,000 character dissertation. (Thesis? I don't know what to call it in English.)

In another window, I have a just-started essay. The idea was to have a draft done by the morning. We'll see.

Right. Waiting. Pretty much, I just wanted to bitch and moan about how it takes so long for western movies to have theatrical releases out here. I Love You, Phillip Morris was an exception, and that was because of release issues back in the states. Because it's a pretty gay movie? Well, real life can be pretty gay, my friends. It's nice to see the movie industry moving in a direction that doesn't freak out as much about releasing and promoting films where the "gay" thing isn't just added to drag out laughs from people who otherwise cannot cope with reality.

Speaking of kinda gay movies, I'm waiting to see Black Swan. So far, I don't think that a release date has been announced for Japan. I wonder if it will still be in theaters back in the states in March? (I never know whether to end "I wonder if..." sentences with periods or question marks. They're statements, right? But when we say them aloud we always raise the end like a question, so... I am confused. And my grammar handbook is on the other side of my apartment, which is tiny, but I think I'll just go without knowing for now.)

So, yes! I'm going back to WA-WA-WA-Washington in March. And this time, I'm bringing someone along. My stomach squiggles whenever I think about it. I can only imagine what's going on in her stomach.

Terror?

Did I blog about terror and horror about a month ago? I should have, if I didn't. But, I think I did. So, I'll just let that go for now, too.
