craziness...

Yup, that pretty much sums up the past week. And on top of it, the election came and went, and Bush is president for another 4 years. And boy, do I have plenty to say about THAT. But hey, whining about it isn't going to get anyone anywhere. Instead, I will be doing what I can to try to prevent certain things from happening. All signs indicate a culture war and hey, I'm there. Actually, some people think we're already in a culture war (one of these people is the former president Clinton who, despite being a hypocrite in respect to international affairs, is quite a smart man), but this is just the beginning.

I don't really want to blog about where I think this country is headed. I already have a headache and thinking more about the country might make my head explode. So I'm going to be egocentric and talk about my little world.

I've been feeling a lot like a heinous bitch lately. I don't know... I just have no patience for anyone. It's probably related to the major lack of sleep I got this past week. That, and stress. I have two papers due Monday (I wrote one today... the other one gets it's time tomorrow) and another two due Tuesday (though one is optional, and I've weighed my options and it might not get done). There's a basketball game on Monday that I probably shouldn't go to, but since I'm being so anti-social this weekend, I think I'll go have some fun. I haven't left my apartment all weekend, though tomorrow I have to meet my philosophy group at Starbucks. Mmm, coffee... anyways. That's not going to exactly be fun though, 'cause we're compiling our paper.

Okay, I lied about saying I wasn't going to talk more about the election... http://chrisevans3d.com/files/iq.htm
I think the part about the positive correlation between divorce rate and voting for Bush is quite interesting. And CT has the highest av IQ out of the 50 states. And IL isn't too shabby either, at #9.

Now I'm done.

Keane. The band. I can't get enough of them. They have a song on the OC soundtrack, vol. 2. Check it out. Also, Jem's cover of Paul McCartney's Maybe I'm Amazed is on there, and it's beautiful. If I ever get married, I think I would want that played as the first dance with my hubby. More about Keane, for those who haven't heard of them (which seems to be quite a bit of people). They're brit rock, but without guitars. Their guitar player left the band before they hit it big, and instead of replacing of him, they decided to just stay a trio - piano, percussion, vocalist. It's a different kind of sound, but it works well for them (well, it's not really different, because Coldplay has been doing the same sort of thing for a while, but... yeah). I think they're just absolutely fantastic.

There are a bunch of movies out, or that will be coming out soon, that I want to see. First off, P.S. with Laura Linney and Topher Grace. I'm starting to respect Laura Linney more and more... she's fast becoming one of my favorite actresses. And Topher Grace is just adorable. There isn't anything about him that I don't like (and he even grew up in CT, near where I lived). The movie looks to be maybe a little bit cheesy, but I want to see it all the same. Another movie... Alfie. Jude Law is not only one good looking man, but a good actor as well. However, another Jude Law movie has my interested more peaked... Closer. I saw a commercial for it on tv the other night and now I must see it. Also, I think It's All About Love is FINALLY coming out (it was supposed to come out like 2 years ago). I'm so curious about that movie, it's another must see. Now I just have to find time to watch these movies.

Garden State comes out on dvd at the end of December. I think I might just skip renting it and just buy it. I'm so bummed that I never got to see it in the theater... I've recently become addicted to Zach Braff's blog. He is one funny guy.

So now that I've blogged quite a bit about entertainment stuff, I suppose I should go to sleep. My head is pounding. Maybe I'll have a glass of juice beforehand. I'm thirsty.
