Golden Spike Day/Clean Up Your Room Day/Blood Pressure Day/Strawberry Festival (Kentucky)

Thought of you on the escalator today. Wondered where you were, what you were doing. Then I stopped, because you weren't thinking of me, so why kill myself needlessly? I'm feeling strange today. Just to illustrate how weird I'm feeling, let's look at what I've been listening to all day. Currently playing a track entitled Geometric Shape by Digitalism. Before that was more Digitalism, and Bassic. Then while I was doing Tutorial 6 in my room in the afternoon, it was Era 2, followed by The Corrs' Forgiven, Not Forgotten and Mandy Moore's self-titled album. By the way, I think it's really true that Era improved with each album. Era 2 is definitely better than their debut. Picked it up today instead of getting something advertised as "the definitive Gregorian chant". Looked like a rip-off of the Masters Of Chant series, which I want to have if only for the fact that the covers come in gorgeous shades of red, blue, yellow and green. I'm a sucker for things like that. I buy sets of books, because I like the look of having them all in one row, all shelved side by side. I'm weird...

People can have the strangest thoughts sometimes. Like how Claudia remarked yesterday, "You look adorable with your hair unspiked, but you look better with it spiked." How fickle we humans are! Or like how I had a brainwave earlier on what to write about in my International History essay, for the question that nobody seems to want to do because it looks too simplistic and restricted. Oh well, I hope I get it done, along with the Eliot practical criticism and my tutorial presentation. I'm hating Mr Kwok with a vengeance right now, because my lack of readings (which is partially his fault), meant that I couldn't finish my half of the tutorial outline like I had intended to by tonight. Never mind, shan't spoil my holiday by ending on a sour note. Kate Beckinsale is quite hot! Watched Van Helsing today, and I thought it was sad the way she died at the end. Van Helsing has a wafer-thin plot actually. Read this review of it, which basically describes how Van Helsing pays homage to movies like X-Men (Van Helsing morphing into a werewolf) and Spiderman (Frankenstein swinging on a rope around a bridge). I think the whole werewolf killing vampire business at the end is such a blatant reference to Underworld, where Kate Beckinsale coincidentally plays a decidedly fetching vampiress. (Don't most of that kind look quite attractive anyway? I mean, Count Dracula looked better than Van Helsing!)
