Well, first things first. I am done with finals! I turned in my Enviro law final 2:49, almost 20 minutes before it was due. W00t. The 30 hour final was pretty grueling, but it wasn't quite as tiring as i thought it would be. It was kind of like waiting until the last minute to write a paper. The questions were hard, but I managed.
Even had time for an American Idol break. Kris was so good last night. I hope Danny gets kicked off. Also, I really hope they get rid of Kara. She brings nothing to the show. And Adam was terrible. People need to stop encouraging that.
In case you're wondering, this is what a 30 hour final looks like...
To celebrate, I am going to let my brain relax for a while. Am watching S.Darko, which is the sequel to Donnie Darko. I watched it out of morbid curiosity, for the lulz, and because Chuck's in it. So far, it is absolutely terrible. Words don't even describe. I am not sure what I expected. There isn't even good music in it so far. I mean, I don't know what to expect when it came straight to DVD, was not directed by Richard Kelly (though, I can't give him much credit anymore because Southland Lands was terrible), and the only cast member who returned was Samara from the Ring. Also no Jake and mullet Alex. I think Frank might actually make an appearance *cross fingers.* If not, this movie and I are done professionally. Apparently Seth Rogen was in Donnie Darko as well. I found that out earlier this year. Anyway, I'm hoping this movie might get better.
Anyway, speaking of Chuck, I was not a big fan of Monday's episode. They cut the prom episode in half to introduce that Valley Girls spin off. The spin off, which may not be happening anymore, was pretty bad. Little Lily and her sister sounded terribly valley girl for people who recently moved from NY. Also, there was no Rufus. And the No Doubt cameo they've been hyping for months wasn't that exciting. Those are my thoughts. Season finale of that next week. And LOST tonight. I'm going back to watching this terrible movie.

Book #18
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
rating: 5 of 5 stars

Third thing I've read by Neil Gaiman. This has to have been my favorite. It was pretty epic. Pretty much all of the ancient gods, myths, and legends are living in America. They get into this major clash with the modern things that America worships (like the Internet, TV, etc.) and there's a big war.
Which doesn't make any sense if you haven't read it, but it's pretty cool.
Book #19
Citizen Girl by Emma McLaughlin

I expected this book to be a little more interesting than it was. It was fun until maybe the halfway point and then it felt like the authors were trying way to hard to be satirical and the whole thing kind of fizzled.
Other than that, I am halfway through finals. Contracts was okay. Property was slightly trauamatizing. Now I've got to plow through my last two finals. The ones I'm less prepared for.
I went home for the weekend. James's confirmation. It was a lot of fun. I knew I wasn't going to get as much property studying in as I would want for the weekend, so I studied a lot for it during that dead week between the end of classes and the contracts final. I don't think it was the studying that would have prepped me for it. Whatever.
Saw Wolverine this weekend. It was fun. Except like Gambit kept on losing his accent which was slightly annoying. Also, they kind of killed the Deadpool storyline. And why was Chahlie only in there for 13 seconds? I don't know. It was a fun movie though. A LOT better than X3. That doesn't say much though.
That's about it. I should go dig myself into the world of constitutional law. I actually was up by myself at 8 this morning. I think that was because I was out by midnight. I'm proud. Going to sell books in a bit and then celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Mexican food in the Mission for lunch.
Also, I'm not digging this St. Vincent album as much as the first one. Hm...
