I am back at school, and the thought of editing makes me sick. Maybe I'm hungry. Meeting with Pierre on Tuesday should help. I wish I could have gotten that internship reel together, but knowing that I am moving to LA in June keeps me hopeful--though I don't know why it would. I still hate my film.
Saw snippets of Swimming with Sharks on Bravo. Why do I find Kevin Spacey so attractive? He hardly ever plays anyone worth rooting for, yet I am completely enamored with his performances. I want to go see American Beauty again. Best film I've seen in years. 45 minute delay on 81 today (see below, personals) forced me to exercise clutch calf muscle and explore car radio--heard Bananarama's "Venus" and dance vrs. of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Still a cheesy song.
	Back in Ithaca. It's cold, there's snow on the ground, and I had to park on my lawn. If I get a ticket I'll be pissed. Culture in D.C. is nondescript. Fifth-graders wearing pants big enough to camp in. 10 year-old girls in tube tops. The world is ending. I can feel it. I missed Honore Daumiere exhibit at the Phillip's Collection. Weather was great, what a relief from Ithaca. It's probably global warming. Exercized right to vote on Super Tuesday. Two old ladies gave me ballot and kept coming over to my booth to check that I wasn't an idiot. Actual voting took me less than three minutes. Guy behind me who was there when I started was still there when I left. C'mon--it's only the freakin' primary. Two old ladies should have been bothering him instead. I couldn't vote for school board officials -- who are these people? It's such an important position, yet no one ever knows who they are.
Witnessed two horrific car accident aftermaths on 81 today. One looked like a semi flipped over, the other as if several cars lost control. I saw a shooting star outside of Ithaca--made my day. Last week I hung out with Matt's friends: Tim, Ben & other AU-ers at Flannagan's. Fun time had by all. Amazing how quickly some people can become friends with me right away, while others I've known for years still stay as idiotic as when I met them. I've heard a person's worth is measured by their friends. This is how I judge my buddies--are their friends good human beings? If yes, continue relationship. If no, good chance original friend won't last long. Harsh? Probably. Realistic? Definitely. If you don't believe me, try it.	Previous weeks: March 4th
