So, I'm really going to like this Cinema History class. The syllabus boils down to a list of movies, most of which I want to see (if I haven't seen it already.)

The list:

30 Seconds Over Tokyo
The African Queen
High Noon
On the Waterfront
To Catch a Thief
Ben Hur
Anatomy of a Murder
Sunset Boulevard
Some Like it Hot
To Kill a Mockingbird
Lover Come Back
The Seven Samurai
The Virgin Spring
Two Women
A Man and a Woman
The Graduate
Bonnie and Clyde
A Clockwork Orange
The Godfather
Jaws
Star Wars
The Breakfast Club
Boyz 'n the Hood
Schindler's List
The Green Mile
Memento
American Beauty

Oh, I'm going to like this class. Eee! Akira Kurosawa film! I <3 Shichinin no Samurai! *fangirls*

And, any chance to watch Star Wars on what amounts to a movie-sized screen makes my life a shiny, happy place. There will be much X-Wing Alliance played coming out of that. Battle of Yavin makes me a HAPPY snubfighter fangirl.

Mrrg. Well, it appears I'm sleeping in shifts at the moment. I am exhausted as all get-out and slept for a bit, then decided I had to pee so I woke up. >.< Since, I'm, you know, concious and all, I figured I'd get some typing and stuff in before narcolepsy sets in once more.

In between fits of unconcious I've been working my way through more Gundam Wing, and I am down to six episodes *including* Endless Waltz. The end is... well, right in front of me. Thank God. I love this series to bits and pieces but I'm ready to move on to something else. I need to watch something short, I think, since I want to make an attempt to finally watch ALL of Rurouni Kenshin. It took me more than a month to get through a 49-episode show and a 3-episode OAV, imagine how long 95-episodes, a movie, and six OAV episodes will take. AUGH.

All of the sudden, I really feel like working on Demonscape again. Hello, left field? Maybe my GW muses really weren't serious, and it was all just Garyn poking me in the back of the head. So I pulled up the NaNo file and started reading through it. Holy crap, this is bad writing. Nevermind the fact that I have to finish the goddamned monster (I trailed off around 60k, remember), but I have to throughly reWRITE it because ... well, the writing really, really sucks. GIH.

However, there are still parts that make me laugh out loud, and they're mainly Cavan/Tala interactions. Goodness, they amuse me. "At some point, Tala thought, amused, she’d have to sit him down and explain slowly and clearly how not to be a suicidal idiot."

Heh.

Now, all I need is to put a zip drive on this computer so I can actually use my zip disks once in a while. I need to put all my current stories (Demonscape, Phoenix Stage, FMA AU, Tsukino Namida, et cetera) on it so I can work on them between classes and stuff. *yawns*

Okay, now I'm tired again.
