The title of this post has nothing to do with anything, except for the fact that I keep seeing the same girl walking around campus. She has reddish hair, and since she's black, it has kind of a natural perm. It looks really weird in a really cool way. Every time she's in the room, my eyes naturally gravitate towards her. I would say, "only in *insert town name*", but I'm pretty sure that there are stranger hair styles in bigger cities, like LA or New York. Not that it really matters.
The other day I discovered that our library has a really good DVD collection. As with my recent goal to watch all of the Studio Ghibli films in existence (which, unfortunately, is a rather small list, compared to others), I checked out Howl's Moving Castle. The thing that bugs me about the Ghibli movies is that bad guys will automatically turn into good guys, and the main character tends to forgive with inhuman ability. It's a pretty reoccurring theme. That detail aside, I've loved them since I first saw Ponyo with my little brother. I thought it was going to be really dumb, which was the reason I loaded it on my Netflix instant queue in the first place. I was pleasantly surprised. Next on my list is My Neighbor Totoro. I've heard only good things about it. Then again... I've only EVER heard good things about Studio Ghibli... Speaking of movies!! I was finally able to watch The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya! It was amazing. I was afraid of two things. One, that it would go by too fast, lacking in various important details, as most movies do. However, that fear was settled, and never should have even been invoked. The whole Haruhi Suzumiya series has followed a very close pattern to the books. The Endless Eight was even more detailed than the original series, to a point where most (if not all) fans were driven crazy. My second fear was that I would be incredibly bored after 2 and a half hours of film. This fear was settled after the movie had finished, and I had sat down for 2.5 hours without even realizing it. Overall, the movie was fantastic. I don't want to give away anything. Like I've said before, I hate spoilers.
The only reason I'm writing right now is because I don't want to get out of the habit of blogging. I have nothing interesting to say today. I'm in a class right now, but since I've already finished the work, I have nothing else to do. I'm so bored! I can't find John Smith anywhere. Though I admit... I haven't been looking very hard.... Me and my friend walked about 20 minutes the other day to the local Humane Society. We wanted to volunteer and play with the dogs and cats. However... When we got there... there was a problem. The problem? We went on Sunday. What self-respecting non-profit organization would be open on Sunday? I should have known. Though I had hoped that somebody would at least be around to feed them. As a result, we trudged all the way back to the school, dying of thirst and fatigue.
Cave Canem.
