So things I have been doing lately:
Actually first I'll post the answers to moviememe
Foa knew that this was X-Men! 1) Super Power / Kicked In The Crotch / Brotherhood / Anti Hero / Jet
roto guessed that this was Kill BIll (vol. 1) 2) Overhead Camera Shot / Animated Segments / Murder Of Father / Girl Fight / Shot In The Head
NOBODY got that this was Disney's Sleeping Beauty :( 3) 14th Century / Turns Into Animal / Turned To Stone / Raven / Hero
NOBODY got that this was Young Frankenstein 4) Little Girl / Prosthetic Body Part / One Armed Man / Abandoned Laboratory / Grave Digging
stu got that this was Return of the Jedi after giving up and going to IMDB! 5) Chained / Moon / No Opening Credits / Messiah / Strangler
Stu got that this was Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie 6) Giant Robot / Construction Site / Martial Arts / Monorail / Skydiving
Denfferob divined that this was Donnie Darko 7) Imaginary Friend / Object Falling From Sky / High School / 1980s / Altering History
Big D realized the truth of Forrest Gump=#8 (which is funny because he's not even american, as far as I know!) 8) Autistic Savant / Kennedy Assassination / Mentally Impaired / Park Bench / Legless Person
stu intuited that this was Pirates of the Caribbean9) British Empire / Naval Officer / Pirates / Throat Slitting / No Opening Credits
after cheating again on IMDB, stu realized this was The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 10) Dynamite / Exploding Bridge / Good Versus Evil / Moral Ambiguity / Very Little Dialogue
Anyways, recent events:
I am in the school play (first time eva eva!). Because the new drama directress couldn't get ahold of the real script of Arsenic and Old Lace we're doing a knock-off version called Larceny and Old Lace which is about as hilarious as I remember the original being. Well, it would be if many of our actors weren't the ones that made you wonder if they should have been in special ed :( And I am not joking or anything here. but regardless. This is practice like after school every day on weeks.
Except not tomorrow! nor wednesday! mrs. stroud can't stay after tomorrow to direct us, which is good because I have BOOK REPORT OF DOOM due on Thursday. Mrs. Hooper swears it is not a book report, but I know better(I've never actually done a book report in my life but i know she's right. This is AP stuff). Anyways, it requires a bunch of time, and some how, I had no time tonight. I guess what with getting home late from school, realizing it was 6 and I hadn't even finished surfing LJ friends (I still haven't actually) and then going on a bike ride with dad and talking to stu my evening slipped away and I cant start on anything homework after 9 because in my heart I know I should be going to bed then but I don't.
Anyways we have to pick a book (I picked A Lesson Before Dying by Faulkner and despite having to read it twice to understand, really liked it), write a page of introduction about the book and mechanical stuff (wtp this is the hard part, I skipped it), a page on style analysis, a page dissecting a "scholarly criticism", a page on the theme, and probably something else. We've had a month so far to do it! I wrote my first paragraph today! (and as of yet, that's all I've written). However two hours of studyhall tomorrow and wednesday should help out a lot. (I know a girl that is just skipping school all day wednesday to work on it because she works until 11 the other nights)
So yeah what time I squander not doing that I waste thinking about how I need to be doing it (like right now!)
I really need to improve my study habits before college. I'm gonna die man.
Friday is leaving for stuland for his Prom. Monday is getting back. Friday is cinco de mayo celebrations in Spanish class, and then leaving on the band trip to hot springs, AR. Saturday is 'woohoo amusement park I've never been to but everyone else has!' and also a concert contest (our excuse for going!). Sunday is the quiet and solemn drive home. (also probably tired). the last band trip we went on was overnight, but this is over two nights! (albeit not out of state :()
The week after that is the last week of classes. Senior semester tests(probably only taking math and spanish(although that may not count as a test grade, but maybe I'll ask for it to since I've missed so much classtime xD), AP English test is one of those days.
WEEKEND OF REST. A 'yay people graduated' dinner at church on the 13th.
Then tuesday. the 15th. 2007.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And man, after that I really don't know what I"ll do with myself.
(note to self, need to finish sending out graduation invitations. like. uh NOW)
then there's stuff I'm doing that isn't even school related. Like trying to reupload all of my dolls with as correct as possible links in as correct an order as possible into a mysql database so I can restructure the doll section to be more dynamic (I plan on doing this to the photos section too, but without needing to research base links, that ought to go much faster) I don't know if you all realize, but I have dolled somewhere around 400 dolls in the last five years. That's a bunch GOSH!
Then there's the fact that I keep joining these dolling forums hoping to find one that is hopping (and not eden enchanted, although the last time I went there it was a saturday and they allowed us po' folk posting access! marvelous! except no one cares enough to comment! Disgusting :'()
I see myself as a kind of web saviour (why does savior look weird?) to these places, or rather a missionary. They don't understand about PNG very much, they've heard its name before though. Some of them use firefox, but there are many souls that need to be turned. And all their websites use either iframes or tables.
I have my work cut out for me!
