talkingsoupWee Bunny has met a most unfortunate end. Though it was pretty cool, actually. That sounds really awful, I know. I stepped out of Hood the other day to find a large congregation in the grass outside, and there was this giant hawk on the ground, surrounded by people. It was eating a small rabbit, which we can only assume was Wee Bunny. It's sad, but it was a beautiful hawk, probably a foot and a half tall. A red-tail I think. It was amazing how close it was letting everyone get, though you could tell it wasn't pleased with having its meal disturbed. I was late to Psych cause I ran back inside to grab my camera.
One more week till Fall Break, yes! I need a few days off. Though I think Julie could use it more than I could.
Oh man, my QST midterm is coming up. It's a nine-page paper. It's insane. Wow. I'm thinking of starting it this weekend. I don't have all that much due Monday, so I might as well. Though I think we're going downtown tomorrow to go to the book sale at the library and finally get a snail.
There were some little assholes running around Hood last night. First there were people smoking out on the balconey (Substance-Free Dorm, god damn it!) then, either the same people or some other asshole, ran down our side of the hall and stole all the name tags. What a fucking random thing to steal! Why would you steal the name tags? It's idiotic! Are you fucking ten years old? Someone ended up spotting mine on the ground near the dumpster outside, so I got mine back. The people on the opposite end of the hall managed not to lose theirs--though their name tags got moved to the inside of the door jam and the top. Which leads me to think whoever it was was tall. Probably a guy.
Probably the same dumbfuck who broke the stall door in the bathroom. So now we have one bathroom stall with a door that works. Hooray.
Fucktards.
I turned in my essay in Persuasive Argument on Friday. I'm actually pretty pleased with it. After watching Honey and Clover I had this inspiration to just write--even if it was for a paper I wasn't exactly thrilled to write. Writing is what I do. ^.^
Battlestar Galactica last night, oh SNAP! I only got into the show last year, but I love it. There's so many angles, so many things going on, and it's impossible to like any of them fully! People make mistakes! Do stupid things! It's awesome!
And Lost, snap.
Sun-centric. Turns out she's a liar! And a cheat! She cheated on Jin back in the real world with that bald guy who taught her English! Her father walked in on her, and then told Jin to go kill the guy, though Jin didn't know why. Oh man it was intense. In the end, Jin went, beat the shit out of the guy and was gonna kill him but decided not to. He told him to run away and leave the country. But the guy must have thought Jin knew about the affair, so he threw himself out the window (proceeding to land on Jin's car, nonetheless). Yikes. At the end of the flashbacks Sun's father says she needs to be the one to tell Jin.
Meanwhile, on the Island. Jack's still in the shark cage. Kate and Sawyer are still in the polar bear cages (sans polar bears). Those two are taken out once a day to dig rocks with pickaxes and move em around. For no apparent reason, but anyway. Sawyer caused a, um, disruption when he grabbed Kate and kissed her. He claims he did it to find out how well the Others could fight. So there are safeties on the tasers, and the majority can't fight all that well. Of course it might all be an act, considering Evil Ben was watching Sawyer describe all this on a TV.
Jin, Sun and Sayid, meanwhile, were waiting for Jack with the sailboat, but since Sun kept getting morning sickness, Jin wanted them to go back. It had been a day or so I guess. Sayid pointed out that their smoke signal might not be seen by Jack since there was a mountain in the way. So they sailed around to a different beach and lit a fire, and Sayid told Sun that he assumed the others had been captured, and he was going to lure the Others there with the fire, take a few captive and threaten to kill them unless they released Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Jin found out because apparently he knows more English than he was letting on. So he and Sayid waited in the trees while Sun stayed on the boat (by the dock the Others used last season).
But the Others got on the boat without even going near the fire. They'd been spotted previously and Ben had instructed someone to capture the boat. One of them confronted Sun, who threatened to shoot her, but the woman knew her name and was claiming not to be an enemy. The engines started up, which startled Sun, and she shot the girl, then escaped through the hatch. She almost got shot, too! Sayid and Jin had heard the gunshots by then, ran to the dock to find the boat sailing away, oh shit. Jin dove into the water calling for Sun and then Sun popped up and she was alright! Yay!
The final bit was Jack in the shark cage and Ben went in to talk to him. He confirmed that they had contact with the outside world, said that Bush had been reelected (it's still 2004 on the Island), Christopher Reeves was dead and the Sox had won the series.
Which was awesome, because Jack cracked up, so Ben flipped on a TV showing the final out of the final game (I cheered). Ben said that if Jack does what he wants, he'll take Jack back to the real world.
I'll kill Jack if he gives in.
Gankutsuo ended on Thursday as well, and I'm very pleased that lately the animes I like have been ending on relatively good notes (I've been leery of anime endings since Wolf's Rain). It was a fucking awesome ending, actually, in terms of "holy shit" factor and tying things up. Yakitate was still utterly brilliant as well, though we've got another week or two with that one.
Saturday night being movie night, we ended up watching Mrs. Henderson Presents.
Judi Dench plays a widow who buys a theater and turns puts on shows with naked women in them, who according to the law, can't move--but are still naked.
That's kind of all you need to know. Judi Dench putting on nudie shows in England, late 1930's.
It's fucking brilliant. And the chemistry between Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins is also fucking brilliant. If you remember, I ranted about how much I loved Timothy Treadwell and Sally Bowles (from Grizzly Man and Cabaret, respectively) because they were characters. I loved Mrs. Henderson for the same reason. She was such a character!
It's awesome. You should watch it. Holy shit, it's good.
Score: 9 out of 10
It's been a pretty neat few days. I'm finally working on Chapter 8 of the fic too, though I'm kind of stumped on just about everything else.
