Le Miserables
Do not go see Le Divorce. really really bad movie. (the only reason why I watched it all the way through was because Kate Hudson is cute and the movie was set in France and the fashion was so chic)
In other news: I will register to vote next week (first time EVER) just so there is one less vote for Bush. I have never voted before because I never believed that the system really spoke for the people (and I think anyone that runs for president is crooked anyway, it just varies in intensity). I just don't think I would be able to stand living in this country if B2 gets reelected. I am appalled at what America and Americans represent to the world. (Power hungry, money hungry, World Hungry, gluttonous consumers – that will stop at nothing to get want for as cheap as we can get it)
Hmmph.

**insert some witty and creative title here**
Yes, Hello there. A lot has been happening and my mind has been racing - but I really lack the energy and the motivation to put it into interesting enough sentences to post. The lack of posting is also due to the massive attack of viruses on my computer. Hack the system see if I care - just leave MY effim computer alone!
I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday with Jess. We drove around in the pouring rain looking for places to spend money. -- yes we went out to be comsumers and feed the capitalist monster that grinds salt into the open wounds of the world. (oh my where the hell did that come from?)
ANYWAY. I sort of went book happy and decided I like to read now. I bought:
1. The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath (because I read a poem of hers awhile ago that made my stomach turn so much i thought I would vomit on the quaint little coffee table that the book was sitting on)I guess i am just a masocist for buying it.
2. The catcher in the rye - JD Salinger (well who doesn't have this book? - i read it in 8th grade and I want to read it again knowing much more of the history behind this book)
3.BITCH {in praise of difficult women} - Elizabeth Wurtzel (I think it is time for me to read all of the books in the women's studies section)
4.Women Who Run With the Wolves - Clarissa Estes (see reason for book #3)
5.The turn of the screw & Washington Square - Henry James (TTOTS is just a fucked up storyline and I really have no desire to read washingtion square..it was just a kind of two for one thing)
6.Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky (so I can proudly spout witty banter about the book to Nick and this is one of those books everyone knows so much about and says they have read, but never actually read. Kind of like the Communist Manifesto...(ever notice that?))
7.Celistine Prophecy - (i forget who wrote it...redmond or something) anyway I bought it as a gift - I loved the book!
Well, I posted more than I expected to. feel lucky.

The unread English teacher
I registered for classes a few days ago. Over the course of two days, I made 4 trips to the Admissions office, 3 to the Registrars, 2 to the financial aid, 3 to the Cashiers, and 3 to the bookstore. All that included my best flirty “just get this done for me because I am cute” attitude AND I promised William (Bill) from Financial Aid that I would buy him a pizza sometime for lunch.
The good news: I am now enrolled in college (again.) So let me just take a second to piss all over the stereo type of young single mothers who never go back to school or who stay on welfare to support themselves.
Also, I have discovered I am a heavy loaded semester away from having my Associates Degree in English! How has this happened? I am horrible at spelling and grammar. I **HATE reading (see footnote) and come to think of it, I really know jack about English or anything to do with the surrounding sub English categories.
On the other hand, I have a passion to become some sort of teacher in the Liberal Arts (possibly Literature or some form of writing), letting my ego get away with me to think I have a damn good chance at opening someone’s mind …or leading them to material that will let them open their own.
I can’t believe it. I have a backpack loaded with unnecessary school supplies. I get to have homework and sit in a room with PEERS (possibly even intellectual peers at that) -- And it was all free!! (Bush can kiss my ass, but I still don’t mind taking federal grant money and that extra 400 bucks to “stimulate the economy”) I like to think of it as some kind of sick retribution for the “evil” this country does to the world. But, I will not go into all of that nasty now.
** I am beginning to rethink the whole “hate” reading thing. In the last month I have read (*gasp*) 3-ish books. 1. Celestine Prophecy (rocked my little spiritual world) 2. The Devil wears Prada (a book referred by Glamour…hey the magazine was left on the table at work – I was horridly bored) 3. Over Half way through Mutant Messages from Down Under. Oh my, Miss Lyndsay is reading and educating herself. I love it.
