Basment Reality

Watched The Dajeeling Limited
Which is good if you are looking for a non-romantic comedy after a bad day or something. http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2007_The_Darjeeling_Limited/2007_the_darjeeling_limited_002.jpg
Too many people think that Adrien Brody is attractive. Hippsterness/Bard kicking in.
him and his glasses.

and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Based off the comic (and it's made to be like a comic, kinda, which is cool).
Michael Cera playing the same character he always does.
and she makes me want to dye my hair. she so cool.

I tried to participate in a couple psych studies (I have to do two for psych class), and I got credit but my data won't be used because I'm not a native speaker. Which somehow I didn't know? which leaves me with no native language-I'm quite sure my reading speed in Russian is nowhere near fast enough to qualify.

And there was advising day/dinner with my adviser and other advisees, but I was so on edge that I couldn't eat. Because I don't like choosing classes and thinking ahead, and also it was just a really weird combination of people.

I missed Body Fest and the ISO culture show (International student organization) because im doing work. Three Miracles St Zenobius vs Primavera (Botticelli, the first one I saw at the Met. when I went to the city).
One of three grades I get for art history (midterm, research paper, final, BOOM). It's kinda funny doing research and then realizing that three of the books you are using are by the same author. oops.
So other than eating yummy food with Kat and Margaret and watching movies, the most exciting thing I've done is hang my laundry. Though I did go to an info thing on some projects in Nepal and Nicaragua (education/sustainability).
Nepali food that they made themselves (once again, invited by one of my Nepali floor mates, always a good idea to go)
good food + good company=good break from work.

(and yeah, there's Quidditch stuff in the basement. I haven't see the new Harry Potter, but then, I've only seen the first one, and that was a while ago).

    In "Spellbound" an Indian schoolkid tutored for competitions with massive input of Latin / Greek roots can't spell "Darjeeling".
