I wish (upon an UltraBrite ViewSonic monitor) that bullshitting English teachers could be considered a career. I, as well as many of my friends and aquaintances would be making a fairly lucrative living out of it. Midterms are kind of fun if you make it a big challange for yourself by not studying in depth. Try to find the connections as you write! Write in pen for the added challange of not being able to go back and change what you wrote! Never read something over before handing it in! I may have to tip my hat to the new Queen of the Bullshitters, Liz the Tiz Buchanan. 94% on an essay in which Freud is spelled "Froid." Well... I don't know how she did it, but she did it!

I saw "Capote" yesterday. Sorry to all other contenders, but your mantleplaces shall go wanting this award season as Phillip Seymour Hoffman whisks away all awards known to man. What a sociopath. No remorse, no redemption (except possibly in the realization of what a terrible person he is), and no happy ending. And yet, I saw myself in him. Terrifying realization that it was, a part of me is Truman Capote. Shudder. And then he had to go and spoil it by appearing in Mission Impossible 3: MIssion Impossibleist! *%^$#@!!! On a related note, I think I pinpointed the thing that bothered me about "Brokeback Mountain." Heath Ledger looked the same age throughout the entire movie! He's sitting there at the end talking with his 19 year old daughter about getting married and she looks the same age as him! Well, it was a spectacular movie nonetheless, so I should stop being picky. And on another related note can we put signs up at all movie theaters saying "No idiots allowed"? That'd be keen.

I'm afraid that I have lost my momentum with school. I haven't done my homework in about a week and a half, I've started skipping classes or leaving things to the last minute with flimsy rationalizations. Teachers who once interested me with their informal lecturing style now irritate me with their informal lecturing style. I can't take notes! But the polar opposite is all that's offered as the works of William Shakespeare are given a severe funectomy. A giant needle is inserted into his grave and all the majesty and beauty is sucked out as critics limply claim that Laertes wants to have freaky-deaky dead sex with Ophelia. I can see how they can work to that conclusion through tedious and sometimes redundant reasoning, but come on. All logical sense is working against you here.

However, working the "To be or not to be" speech as a dialogue is quite fun. That reminds me. I need to do my piddling amount of homework for Acting for the Camera, and then memorize several lines of dialogue to avoid the debaucle that was last night's rehearsal. Now that was a cause for cursing.

Oh yeah, and:

Which Tim Burton character are you? Ed Wood Voted worst director of all time, but you sure look good in that sweater!
