movie night
I went over to John's house last night. We watched Watership Down, the documentary on the new X-Men DVD, and Super Troopers.

I haven't seen Watership Down since I was a little kid. I only remembered like two scenes from it, and not that clearly, either. So, it was basically just like seeing the entire movie for the first time again. It's about a group of rabbits that abandon their warren after one of them has a terrifying premonition of death and destruction. They leave behind some of their friends and family to journey what seems like hundreds of miles to a new home. They meet all sorts of hardships along the way, including hunters, other rabbits, and a farm that has a dog and a cat intent on catching them. That and the fact that, when they reach the new home, they realize they have no females in the group and they have to find a way to either liberate some from a neighboring warren that's run like a police state or from the farm.

Super Troopers is a comedy about a group of State Police Highway Patrol Officers at a station in Spurberry, VT (I'm not sure if this town actually exists). They're fighting to save their station from the state budget cuts and prevent the local PD from taking over their jurisdiction. It's a comedy that includes everything from road stops gone bad, insane pigs at murder scenes, ritualistic rookie hazing, drug running teens, and testing new equipment. It's not quite low brow humor, but it's definitely good for a laugh.

I loved X-Men when it came out in theatres and I'm really looking forward to seeing the sequel. John S bought the fancy new DVD that has a whole documentary done up on the making of the new movie and some slight problems they had in the first one. ^_^;;; It was really good. They give you some sneak peeks of scenes, a backstage view of the new set (which is almost done being built), and interviews with the cast and crew. It's a good pairing with a great movie.

snow day? but school's already closed!
We're supposed to get more of it tonight and tomorrow. Six to twelve, they're saying. O.O;; Good thing class isn't happening tomorrow. Speaking of which, I meant to call Keisha and Tommy. They had wanted to get together to do the homework today, but the library at school wasn't open. {{grumbles}} And my brain is so fried from the ten tons of math homework I had to do this weekend. I still have three graphs I have to do up, but I need to find my graph paper first.

Not to mention my Career Development Portfolio and the exercises in the book that I sorely need to catch up on. {{sigh}} And the fact that my notebook is terribly disorganized. I haven't been doing any of the exercises in the book in the book because I want to be able to sell it back. The only problem is, Brigid wants to flip through our books to see what we've done. She wants to see my notebook since I told her I didn't do the exercises like that. And it's in such disarray. I never do those types of exercises in order, either. {{grumbles}}

chores galore
And I'm washing the slipcovers for the living room furniture, finishing up some more of my laundry, I'll have to run and clean out the dishwasher later, probably vaccuum tomorrow... I also need to wash the comforter from my bed and the bath towels. On top of that, I really need to go upstairs and clean my room so I can switch beds. Dad's getting tired of having the other one in the garage. My room's just such a mess, it's overwhelming to look at... O.O;;;
