Misconceptions

Not all misconceptions are bad... no my friends... not all of them...

Some of them lead to interesting thesis topics...

25th hour (2002)

Another good movie… I like movies in this genre, I don’t know what genre it would be exactly… slow-paced movies about day-to-day lives of people…

Don’t expect a movie full of strong emotional scenes that makes you smile or cry. 25th hour follows the life of a New Yorker drug dealer in the last 24 – or 25- hours of his life before going to prison.

And let’s face it, Edward Norton is a genius actor. He has a certain, mysterious, masochist look in his eye that you also see in Fight Club. That look that says: “beat the shit out of my face and I wouldn’t mind. As a matter of fact, I’d kinda like it”. A, boyish, just turned into a man, look. And he is born in 1969 (37 years old).

Hey if you know movies similar to this one, tell me about them ok?

And no, I don’t mind watching movies from a few years ago… I like to watch a movie when its heat is down… so I can judge it personally…

Good news

I received very, very, very good news today…

Let’s just leave it at that

Good job sandtank!

Things are starting to work out!

ultimatum met

The ultimatum posted on June 2nd, seems to have done the trick. I finally came up with an original idea, presented it to my supervisor, and he seemed impressed (and that’s all I need), so I designed my experimental setup, and amazingly, this was all done before June 15th. So I went to the lab technician with a list of all the material I will be needing, and again, all this is done around mid-June… and since then, I’ve been waiting… impatiently…for the ordered material to arrive… practically doing nothing important… well, I mean I still come to school and work for a few hours a day… but I don’t like the wait… I get nervous when I don’t have anything to do… I can’t just stay home and relax (like a normal person would do)… I start feeling guilty… so I’ll come to school. With nothing to do. Like today…

I also realized something else as I am writing this post. At any stage during my studies so far, I have always thought that compared to the previous stage, I haven’t been doing enough work…and that I’ve been lazy in this last stage… and I always blame myself for that… but heck, looking back at the posts I’ve had, all the times I have been complaining, I’ve been achieving something big during that very time… so, I won’t complain any more from now on… yep, you won’t be hearing me complain any more about being lazy, or not working like I should, or …

p.s. Hey it’s OK if I complain a little every now and then, right?

p.s.s. I have 11 mosquito bites on my back, and the funny thing is they are concentrated around one same spot. A mosquito must have gotten into my t-shirt and stayed there… from breakfast till supper, and he hasn’t stopped himself from having mid-day snack, an afternoon tea, and a late night snack, and even inviting a friend over for a movie night… it’s itching like crazzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy.

Impatiently waiting for the ordered material to arrive.
