just finished another damn spanish ensayo.
damn. she squeezes them all together. shes emphasizing this one thats due next week,
when we have this one due TOMORROW. what the hell?
but i did just realize that i didnt fuck off as much immediately after i got home, i'd have a lot more time to do other stuff more carefree.
i have many an hour even before meg gets home and wants to do stuff.
its amazing what i can do when i want/need to.

anyway.
got a free movie tonight and tomorrow.
had one last night too,
but let me tell you. i dont know if that one was worth it, even being free.
i guess if i was in the mood it woulda been alright, but damn.
LONGEST MOVIE EVER. and i might actually be telling the truth.
there was a 12 minute intermission (are you seeing the longness?).
if the intermission was twice as long, the movie woulda been over 4 FUCKING hours long.
what was the movie?
gods and generals.
it did keep my interest a lot of the time, but i think the editor needed to step up everytime a woman started to talk,
or whenever 'stonewall' jackson was divinely inspired to pray. jesus that man loved jesus.

the good part to the movie (wasn't all the crazy facial hair) was that it showed that slavery was only a subplot to virginia and the south's urge for independence.
although they really didnt get into why. my idea is something about the industrial vs. agrarian lifestyle, but who knows.

the part that i liked best though (wasn't ted turner's cameo) was at some point during a battle a man from the north and one from the south met on either side of a river.
they joked about how shitty a general burnside was and came together momentarily over the exchange of legal drugs.
the southern man got a few puffs of tobaccy from the northerners pipe, and southy hooked up northy with some hot coffee.
ah. sharing the vices and keeping it real.
after a couple tokes and sips they went back to their respective sides and resumed the fight for their government.

oh. the other cool part about the movie was that they actually had you feeling for the south.
too bad you already knew what was going to happen.
