| | Hehe... well day three is over. And, yeah, I feel the homestretch, man do I ever. So, yeah I finished my Chinese Communism paper, it wasn't terrible... but it was no Pulitzer winner either... seven pages is such a bitch. AND I did my little paper, in like an hour and a half, which was so awesome... that I kinda sorta ended up taking the rest of the night off... um whoops? Yeah I went for icecream with sterling at 10 pm and didn't get home until twelve thirty, because I felt so good I didn't want to spoil it by, you know, writing another paper. BUT, my paper isn't due until 7pm (or worst comes to worst,10, but I know that the final will be based heavily on these last few movies, so I am shooting for no later than eight pm, and I have a sort of hang on what I am going to write on, double mirror construction reflexivity in Schizopolis and 8 1/2 and digenic/non-digenic sound (and maybe something about ties to director's lives... not sure). Yeah, six and a half pages, I know I can do it! But for now... sleep, beautiful sleep.
ALSO, may have offended Sterling a bit. See, Irene was over (she was very very busy playing games... so we didn't talk, in fact I don't think she really acknowledged my leaving) and she was playing computer games... some game that Sterling owns, and their interaction was funny. Irene had this sort of, I don't know what I am doing, isn't that amusing, attitude about playing... and that seemed to drive Sterling nuts. He kept offering advice, and twitching, as if itching to play it for her. I thought Irene put up with his sort of controlling attitude very well, she just enjoyed running around trying to kill things (she has this amusing, and I think, affected naivete, a oooh look at the pretty bunny cutsey that can be charming). Personally I would have told him to either explain the basics (which he was... very eager to do), told him to bugger off and let me play or told him to just play for me since he seemed so damn eager. Anyway, yeah, not sure the laughing on my part (and subsequent explanation) was appreciated... but you know, other people's relationship dynamics are.... well different, and I have to remind myself that I can't view everything in terms of: my way is right... and yours is not, and that comes out as laughing.
