firstly, the movie i watched last night, we were soldiers, with mel gibson, was absolutely brilliant. freaky, disturbing, harsh, and sometimes even remarkably brutal, but brilliant. watch it.
NOW. GO. run to the video store!

i stretched today, but i'm nowhere near the splits. i got far enough by myself that my muscles were shaking like crazy, but i held it. hopefully it'll be good enough in a few days. or i'll lose my legs trying.
to anyone who thinks i'm joking, it's fairly easy to rip all the tendons when you're trying to ignore the pain.
i ate fairly well today - i learned how to boil sausages (gee, how DO i do it?!), and today was infected mushroom day on our cable music channels.

so i had some good music to listen to while i studied the most boring material on the planet (leadership).
and i'm still eating marshmallows with peanut butter. they really are good!

i just finished my paper. what bothers me, is that these bastards basically gave me half the paper to do (there're five of us in the group), but even worse is that the material we're basing our study on isn't relevant, so i had to make stuff up. it's very hard to do that with uninspirational topics, like "resistance to change".

now that i'm done, i'm off to play some pool. on my way downstairs i'm going to put a plastic bag over the water sprinkler, which some jerk-off has aimed almost directly into our apartment, so it gets our clothes on the washing line soaked.
lovely.

*** later ***

i'm on my way to bed. i had a very strange experience: the asshole who's "leading" the group i'm in phoned me to tell me that i'd done a good job. that's very nice, but coming from him it's aggravating. i HATE salesmen, and he's a prime example. what makes it worse is he then asked, politely, if i'd like to do the conclusion as well.
i haven't given him an answer, but so far all i can think of is "fuck no". bastard.

so i've had a nice freezing cold shower, my argentinian flatmate's refusing to do it, so he's boiling water and putting it in a bucket, and piece by piece washing himself with a cloth.
i find this amusing.

i finally aquired the movie 28 days later, it's taken absolute ages. so i'm gonna go watch it now. and then it's dreamy-dream land for me. tomorrow's another long day. with fun filled macro-economics lessons.
