Pride & Prejudice

No matter who is narrating, how many renditions of it I see, I will also love this story. I think it is just inspiration of intelligent women that they too can 'get the right guy' at the end. Traditional fairytales don't really emphasis wit for damsels in distress. The movie was gorgeously filmed too. I remember the four days I spent in London when I was nine, and the country side really looks like that. And who is the actor playing Darcy?

Finished the memo yesterday - handed it in a whole day early. Pretty impressed with myself for that - that nearly never happens. I don't know if it's any good though. The prof mentioned that it should take about 40 hours, and I only clocked 25. The only reason I know that is because we have to keep a docket sheet of how long we spent on it, in order 'bill' our client hypothetically. I can't imagine that piece of writing being worth $4000.

RENT!

I've loved this musical since the first time I heard Seasons of Love (performed at a cadet mess dinner! the poor kid - some CO's idea of after dinner entertainment). Haven't seen it on stage though. Anyway, saw it in theatres yesterday. I had really high expectations for it, and the movie met them, so that's good. Even though rotten_tomatoes didn't think so. Sometimes I make up my mind about a movie before I see it though. I mean, maybe it's all state of mind. I tend to enjoy those movies that I've decided to like. Although, usually I don't make up my mind ahead of time. Not sure that makes sense.

Working on a memo advising a (hypothetical) client on getting an annulment to her reality show wedding. Word to advice, everybody. Make damn sure you like the person you're going to marry. Annulment? Not an easy thing to get. Probably why they made divorce so much easier. A couple weeks 'til exams. I don't think I've written five in the same term since third year. Then, Christmas. This term has flown by.

eta: Happy Birthday snarky_freak!

What Color Heart Do You Have?

bewildered

So, Rob felt compelled to leave me two messages last night at 2:30am, calling me a (excuse my language) whore. I'm serious. I really don't know what to do. I know that it really shouldn't matter what he does anymore, and I can't let him hurt me. It's just unbelievable to me. I mean, I thought I knew this person. I can't believe how wrong I was about him. It's kinda scary, really. It makes me seriously question my judgment.

And if I was so wrong before, how can I know that what I have now is right?

clarification

In response to some (frantic) inquiries, I would just like to clarify that I am NOT moving in with this new guy I'm dating. Things are going well between us, but come on, it's only been 'official' for two weeks. Even I am not that crazy and reckless. =)

I'm moving into a one bedroom apartment 'cuz I'm tired of living in residence. Just want to feel more grown-up, since I still carry a schoolbag everyday.

a sexy social conscience?

Why is it that there are some social issues that I can identify with so much more than others? Look, I'm not indifferent to the plight of the Aboriginals, but why does the concerns faced by Blacks touch me on such a deeper level? The equality battle fought by the people with disability is no less arduous than that against the GLBT community; so why is it the latter that I can empathesize with more? In our Criminal Law class, we are continuously challenged to take all these concerns into consideration in light of how the legal system differentially affects racialized and marginalized groups. So it is just an individual difference in what moves us more, or are some social concerns just 'sexier' because of how they have been advanced by the media in our society?

What moves you?

found a place

I'm moving into this cute little one bedroom apartment after Dec exams! I found this place about 20 mins (walking) from the school, and it's on the second floor of a 14-units, 3-storey building. I've never really seen a place like this. Three rooms in a 'line': living room, kitchen/study, bedroom. There is a 'bar' in the kitchen. I can't wait to move in. No more residence life for me!

But more importantly, I've found a 'place' (as cheesy as this sounds), with this guy. Falling is easy, I know, 'honeymoon' stage and all that. It just, makes me smile.
