Slate has a review about The Fountain. Even though this isn't really a recommendation, I still want to watch the movie now. I love nonsense.

Someone dropped some money in the hall in front of my desk, and I don't know what to do with it. I hope they come back.

We are running our PC using the Ubuntu operating system. It's pretty interesting, so far everything except for my HP printer will work with it, and it has a lot of different open source applications available. I really like it! I am so used to Apple computers now that when I try to use a Windows PC I find myself frustrated at their slowness/inefficiency/bad design. Ubuntu is a lot better.

Speaking of *we*, Ross is moving down to Eugene to live with me. Yay! I've missed having my partner at home with me, someone to talk to about the crap that goes on it the day, and someone to help with household stuff that I can't manage. It also feels really good to finally admit that I do need help, and that there are some things that I just can't do, or that I don't have enough energy to do it all. There's a lot more to that, but I can't get into it right now.

Procrastination City

I've returned from NorCal just in time to hit a major rut in completing my studio project. I just can't focus on it. Homework is boring, yes?

Hope ya'll had a nice Thanksgiving. I enjoyed visiting with my niece & nephew, as well of the rest of the fam. I bribed the children with toys, Mom with tea, and Dad & Gram with dragon books. Woo!

I have had no social life to speak of lately, hence the lack of posting (things have been rather dull). This is partially due to lots of schoolwork, and also due to my exhaustion. I just don't feel up to planning anything, and it always seems that if I don't plan it just doesn't happen for me. I miss the days when invitations were flooding in!

Speaking of fashion, what's with all the empire waisted stuff lately? I look ridiculous in it since I'm sitting down...

Okay, this is headed nowhere. I promise to report back with wonderful news as soon as it happens. In the meantime, ponder this: link.

Not much more to add.
