No spoilers until halfway. I'll let you know. Crimson Peak, directed by Guillermo del Toro, is freaky yet predictable–but you don't mind at all watching it. Usually a predictable film will put me off, no matter how great everything else is. This wasn't the best film I'd ever seen and it's not going to get … Continue reading Crimson Peak
My Halloween in London
You know, in the past couple of posts I said there'd be something to look forward to this weekend, but it has occurred to me that it was something more for me to look forward to than for you. You guys just get to read about it. I had an early start yesterday. I met … Continue reading My Halloween in London
Another Update
I had the induction for my new job today. I think I'm even more excited to work there than before, now. I think I'm going to really like it. For my ECP (aka Extended Creative Piece aka Creative Writing version of a dissertation aka thesis) my idea just wasn't working out so I switched to … Continue reading Another Update
Busy Days
(This post was written yesterday.) I'm trying to write a post every day, but yesterday I completely forgot. *Sigh* I guess I'm starting my streak over. Yesterday I got up for a 9am meeting that I found out was actually at noon. I spent my extra hours awake to work on an essay due next … Continue reading Busy Days
Making Conversation
It's raining, it's pouring, the day was far from boring. I had no class today. We were supposed to use the time to write our essays, due next week. Instead, I slept in, posted the Supergirl blog post, took a shower, had lunch, worked on developing a character for a little while (more on that … Continue reading Making Conversation
My Commentary on Supergirl
The following won't contain any huge spoilers, as in, nothing you won't have already guessed if you've seen the trailer or the first episode of any superhero-type of tv show ever. Still, if you get annoyed at any spoilers at all, just watch the show first. I watched the pilot of Supergirl and the entire … Continue reading My Commentary on Supergirl
Friendships Abroad
I met up with a friend for lunch today. We haven't seen each other since before school ended back in April. It was really good to catch up, and it only took a minute for us to fall back into our old conversation habits. It was like we had last seen each other only last … Continue reading Friendships Abroad
Outfit of the Week: The Londoner
I'm finding myself spending a lot of time with my friends. Maybe I'm just overly aware that I won't be able to call them up to hang out as easily by this time next year. Being in a small town where everyone walks to where they want to go, even just a trip to town … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Londoner
5 Ways To Fill A Notebook
I realized that Wednesday was the one-year mark for how long I've been writing in my blue coil notebook. Just eyeballing it, it looks like I've filled a little less than half of the book. Since the last notebook was filled in two years, it seems I'm right on track. Except that I haven't written … Continue reading 5 Ways To Fill A Notebook
Macbeth / Out and About
Even though it's technically Sunday, I will be writing as if it's still yesterday. Today, I have something to write about. I took no pictures, but I actually did something besides sit in the library and write (which feels like all I'm doing these days and unfortunately not much of that writing is for this … Continue reading Macbeth / Out and About
