Everyone's cold but me

Everywhere around me there's people wearing jackets and sweaters and swearing that there's a cold breeze, and that's when I feel that it might be just a bit too warm. The hell? You know, I used to be one of these people. I grew up here. 70 used to be freezing cold. Now it's wonderful.

Meanwhile, my neighbors are having a party at one in the morning. With Reggaeton. Which I don't listening to. While I'm writing angst. And I have to study later. Of course. It'd be easier to deal with if I didn't know that various neighbors are going to keep it up throughout the holidays.

I also just wrote Alternate Reality fic, something which I've never written before and hardly ever read. It's also really depressing. Apparently all the happy stuff I've been writing lately has left me off balance and I needed to write something heartbreaking before continuing with the Plaude sequels. Weird.

ETA: I wrote 1,850 word today. Cool. On the other hand, no studying. Crap.

Ugh

I've spent three months without going to the movie theatre and now that I'm finally back in a place where I can afford the ticket prices, ready to pump myself full with as many flicks as I can, there's nothing good on. Not only that, but the two movies I do see are 'eh'. Granted, Quantum of Solace is a decent action movie, quite entertaining, but the only reason I watched it was because I liked Casino Royale so much, which this one doesn't even begin to compare to. You can tell it's a sequel. But the one my Dad took me to today was just... well, I hesitate to call it crap, but if you hate half a dozen false endings, cliched deaths and climaxes, and stale, sweeping music that sounds as if it came out a can, do not watch Australia. I wanted to leave so badly. You're definitely doing something wrong if your audience is bored while someone is getting shot.

I finally bought the Dexter novels today. At Borders for full price, which I don't like to do, but there's only eight business days before I leave and Amazon can be so slow shipping stuff here. Unless I order it Express, but there goes the discount.

Got one Christmas present today. Just one left.
