Eating cous-cous with sliced up pieces of hot dog. As I once said to someone: "A quick and easy delicacy." In work today, and it has been filing, filing, filing so far, but I can't complain, seeing as I have people to talk to and a paycheck to collect. Still on spring break, but I've done no work. How did this happen? And why does this always happen? The only productive things I've done have involved trying to get things sorted for life after graduation. I've stopped living in the moment. I've also stopped checking my inbox obsessively for any news from Trinity.
In just over a month-and-a-half, I will be a college graduate. Pretty mind-blowing how time flies.

Where The Wild Things Are
At first I was skeptical, but the trailer makes it look nothing short of amazing. Possible favorite film of the year? Only time will tell...
The Fucking Weather
This made me laugh out loud. Plus, it's useful!
I'm going to make myself a tumblog at some point, because I miss Midnight Breakfast (my communal tumblog that is in the process of being redesigned cos its server crashed) and I have all these good links and thoughts to share. Yeah.
(Thanks, Eleanor, for the link.)

List #?
Things I will do within the next few days (before I head to Boston to visit my gay husband):
1. Begin my application for postgraduate studies at UCD (University College of Dublin, not University of California-Davis)
2. Call a temp agency during my lunch break and find out how I can possibly get temp work for the summer
3. Write a note to everyone I know who lives in New York inquiring about available apartments/rooms for the summer (the expensiveness as exemplified by Craigslist really does my head in!)
4. Write an e-mail to the cast of my dogme film, so I can come up with a shooting schedule
5. Acquire certain Frederick Wiseman films (this is dependent on whether the A/V Dept. is open)
6. Begin work on my film journals
7. Finish Blindness once and for all
I will probably do other things, too, but that's the main gist of it.
Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone.

The Gory Details
It's March 1st, and I can't remember the last time I was this sick. Maybe when I had mono? Or maybe during my first year of college, when I had the same thing? Anyway, I've been bed-ridden almost the entire weekend, vacating my room occasionally to go to the bathroom or venture to the kitchen to make food. What's weird is I was feeling a lot better on Friday, but then at some point yesterday, I just crashed and couldn't stop coughing and my nose started getting really stuffed up and that was the end of that. To make matters worse, I have all this work to do, but virtually no energy, and my gums have been bleeding a lot (I've been using special mouthwash to quell this, so I'm waiting for that to start working; I'm pretty sure all the bacteria swimming around my mouth crawled into the crevices and stayed there), and basically I feel like my body's in bits. I just want to feel like myself again, and not like a zombie that sleeps for 10-13 hours a night.
It's March 1st, which means I will probably know about whether or not I got into Trinity within the next 4 weeks. And it's March 1st, which means I've now 2.5 months until I graduate from college. I'm nervous about both of these things, for completely different reasons, but I'm trying to breathe and maintain focus.
One day at a time...that's all I can really do.

"It was just a kind of accident."
If someone were to send me a phantom note that read, "You are inconsequential," I would be inclined to believe it.
Also: listening to loads of This American Life lately. This episode about the developmentally disabled made me cry, specifically the segment titled, "Black Hole Son."

Because Will Schutz is Beloved.
Also see this article about Will, which warmed my heart to the fullest extent. It exemplifies all the reasons why I consider many former Defiant members (and their friends) to be extended family members. What amazing people.
