Summer Days Drifting Away

So here I am, siting in the basement with my brother, watching Valkyrie. It's about a plot to assassinate Hitler, a plot conceived by German officers and political figures. What I find interesting about the title, however, is that the Valkyrie were female deities (in Scandinavian mythology) who lead men who died in battle to the god Odin, where they became spirits. Technically, the operation that the men are carrying out is called "walküre," which, in German, translates to valkyrie. On that note, its historical accuracy is all wrong. As the men are German (Nazi) generals, they should be speaking German. At least they're saying "Heil Hitler." And, when they're at this party, the music's in German. Something I cannot complain about: I know most of the actors - a rare occurrence for me. A good few of them are from Pirates of the Caribbean. Then there's one from Yes Man. And, of course, Tom Cruise; recognizable from the very beginning.

I'm feeling quite critical today.

Apart from the movie I'm semi-watching, I've done nothing of real use today. I watched nearly every episode of The Crow again, taking small breaks to learn new TaeKwonDo kicks (I think I killed my left ankle from doing to many Front Snap & Side Kick Combinations and Mid-Air Front Snap Kicks). In addition, I'm also perfecting the art of Self-Hypnosis.

Seriously, I am so bored. The only real high point of my day was when I discovered a spider on the ceiling of the shower. I got out without washing my face, and dressed in about five seconds. Then, being me, I was in such a rush to get away from the spider that I tripped on my PJ pant leg and slid nearly five feet; right into a door. That's right, people: LAUGH. See how funny it is when I'm standing beside your bed with a giant kitchen knife. Kidding. Sort of.

Okay, this movie's boring. All I see is Tom Cruise trying to be a Nazi, and Lord Beckett (Pirates 2-3: Tom Hollander) trying to be one as well. *sigh* My life is so hard.

In refrence to the title: I just [conciously] realized that it's from Grease. Which, naturally, leads me to camp. Which then leads my mind to the skit we did our first week. Remember, Sarah? You got to be What's-His-Name. Danny. And Richie got to be Sandy! Good times (but painful memories (loaning all our clothing to the guys- yes, ALL))

Okay, my computer did that back in November, as did my iPod two years ago. They just DIED. I fixed the computer, but alas, it was too late for the iPod.
