I have gone on a Facebook application-adding binge over the past couple of days. I added the movie application this afternoon, and am particularly pleased with the cursory review I composed for "The Brave Little Toaster":
I loved this movie as a kid, even though nearly every appliance in it frightened me. I feel that kids should piss themselves in fear much more often. When a plugged-in toaster falls into a tub of water, he gets fried. C'est la vie.Since I had to drop my classes this semester, I broke my usual routine of studying or reading at the coffee shop every afternoon or evening. I made some room to spend time with friends who do not share my usual academic interests. The past two evenings I have eaten dinner and had engaging but non-Classics-related conversations with an engineering student. We discussed our theories about education and read web comics.
I realize I need a huge break from the monotony of my "Lubbock period". A guest lecturer, encouraging me to stay at Tech for the MA, once suggested I move to the other side of town. Moving to any "other side" of Lubbock to experience significant change makes about as much sense as moving from one side of nowhere to the other. Life for me is still a daymare.
Cuddling Kermie makes me feel better.
