It's amazing that I got an A- on my Bryan Singer paper for cinema class. Luckily, the TA that graded it was a Usual Suspects fan because I mostly wrote about that film when I should have written about Singer's other films as well. He wrote at the end of my paper that he was "more partial" to The Usual Suspects, too. Awesome. Now, I've got a David Lynch paper to tackle. Yikes. David Lynch.
Finally finished with the stupid group project. We present tomorrow. Double yikes. Luckily, I don't have to speak.
I really want to download the SETI @ home screensaver, but it's not working out. The screensaver analyzes data from the Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico. I don't want to explain all the technical stuff since I don't really understand it all myself. All it is is that SETI uses your computer (when you download the screensaver) to help look for extraterrestrial intelligence. I know the link isn't broken because I tried on my friend's computer, and it worked on hers. It's getting me frustrated. I really, really, really, want it. It just seems so interesting. I mean, what if my computer finds a signal? I'll be so popular in the astronomy world. Haha. If you download it, dear reader, tell me if it works for you.
Wrote about this briefly in my friend's blog: I saw him again today. This time, I was walking from a class, and he was walking to a class--the one I usually see him leave from. He was with a girl. I don't know why, but I was so happy to see him with a girl. I mean, it's like I was happy knowing he wasn't alone. Thank you God for that moment. Immediately afterwards I couldn't keep a smile off my face.
What I'm planning to do over Christmas break (some 6 glorious weeks):
1. edit film footage from 2002 England trip and turn it into a DVD (aaahhh!!!)
2. read "Rebel Without a Crew" and "The Screenwriter's Workbook"
3. clean room and get rid of stuff
4. meet with friends
5. go to Disneyland a couple of times (so I can get my money's worth for my pass)
6. go camping with my fam
7. see a bunch of films
in the ipod: "earth angel" by marvin berry and the starlighters (from "Back to the Future"), "violins" performed by yellowcard (originally by lagwagon), and "somewhere only we know" by keane.

Six weeks! I think I'm jealous. We are on a quarter system, and only get a three week break. Good luck with that Lynch paper.
re: the seti at home screensaver
What kind of a computer do you use? Can you just not get it to download, or are you having a problem installing it?
you're probably having finals then. my friends are also on a quarter system, and they've been studying. about the seti at home screensaver, i have a toshiba laptop and use windows xp. i can't get it to download--it's like the link for the download doesn't work for me. don't worry about it though, i think my brother can help me out with it.
thanks for wishing me luck with the lynch paper! it'll be tough.
