i love it when we are cruising together

So I am going to the Bahamas in a month on a cruise. Then I come back and go to Disney World or Universal Studios.. not sure which one. I am pumped. Best graduation present ever, well besides a mini of course (in my dreams).

Also, I found this website the other day: http://www.thedailyweird.com/. Its really funny. I am not doing so well when it comes to keeping up with this weekly blog.

So I watched Risky Business earlier. Tom Cruise is awesome.

why so serious

So as you guys can see this is my blog from my literature class but it shall continue to live... Like Frankenstein but not really:)

So I am about to start playing Resident Evil 5. I will probably get no sleep because of it because I am a gamer. That's right.. I am an addict.. I have a problem! That's the first step right?

I am not sure what the second step is unless it is to turn on my 360?

Anyways, I look forward to reading everyone's post this next 8 weeks and probably longer.

Happy spring break!

The L Word

Last episode next Sunday at 8:00... I'm so pumped.

anyways, Mrs. Dalloway was really good. It is my least favorite of the other two novels though. I think many people can relate to Clarissa because she is so uncertain about some decisions has made in her life. It is sad though that it took the death a friend for her to realize that she needed to start living hers because it was the only one she has.

So I don't know how much longer I will keep writing in this when the class ends.. I did really enjoy this class and I wish I would have taken more literature classes... I wish that I could have gotten into the blog class in March:(..

and the oscar goes to...

I'm pretty sure the Oscars should have been canceled... The Dark Knight has won like every award so far anyways. Okay, well not really, Slumdog Millionaire and Benjamin Button have won a good amount of awards so far. I hope Slumdog wins movie of the year.. but we all know that won't happen:)....

I have been a little behind in my posts this week so I have only posted about one of the poems. Although, "When You Are Old" was my favorite poem this week because I like the imagery. I picture an elderly woman by the fire who is "old and gray and full of sleep". She is sleeping and dreaming of her past when she was in love.

Well, I am about to start Mrs. Dalloway... then go back and finish last weeks posts.. then begin this weeks... :)

Pip

I can't believe this class is so close to being over. I feel like a pro at online courses now even though this is the only one I have ever taken. It was very overwhelming at first that's for sure.

So this week I read Great Expectations... I really really enjoyed it. It was so different than Frankenstein.. There was so much going on and it had so so many characters. I do enjoy the Victorian Period literature.. but I think that the Romantic period is my favorite.. makes me want to watch the Dead Poet Society.

Goblin Market was my second favorite thing to read this week. I found it interesting all the meanings it could have. I wonder if it was suppose to be so sexual or if she really just wrote it that way not thinking about it.

Also.. Check out Southpark's take on Great Expectations: http://www.journeyed.com/itemDetail.asp?ItmNo=44021031

11:44

One of my favorite days during the week has to be Sunday. It is the day I can binge on showtime television.. US of Tara, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, The L World... oh and Desperate Housewives.. I never watch tv except for today.. well and to watch Lost of course.

I am about to start Great Expectations in about five minutes.. I have no idea what it is even about so this will be exciting. I really like the poems this week. My favorite this week was "Say Over Again" because I thought the symbolism for saying 'i love you' was interesting. Also, I like how almost everyone had a different interpretation.

perfume

Perfume is perhaps one of the weirdest movies ever... So this guy goes around killing woman and trying to make them into perfume.. then he gets caught and right before he is about to get hung everyone smells his perfume and has a huge orgy... riiighhhtttt?

I hate to admit this.. but this was the first time I have read Frankenstein and I have never seen any of the movies. I am a Frankenstein retard hahahaha. The book is a lot different than I thought it would be. I thought it was just about some dude that made a monster named Frankenstein that looked an awful lot like Herman Munster:)... Instead it has all these hidden themes that can be compared with current events. Someone compared Frankenstein to stem cell research on the discussion boards and I think that is an excellent example to what Shelley was trying to say.

Anyways... How did everyone do on their first paper? I am a little nervous because I haven't written an opionion paper since English 1! I can write a research paper like nobody's business though...
