the janitor just came by and changed the nameplate on our mail slot so that instead of ROIVAS KYMALÄINEN it says WAX CIM (except our real last names, and without spaces, because mine has 13 characters). and hey, we haven't even been here a month yet! we moved in on the 14th. great work there, speedy gonzales!
speaking of the door, or not, i've been and continue to be busy with ( boring details of school. ) the upshot of all this is that it's hard to see how i'm going to have any time to write for at least a couple of weeks, maybe until shortly before christmas. this is frustrating because the pressure, plus all the reading, have combined to make me feel pretty creative. i've been doodling constantly, which seems to be about all i can manage. the other upshot of this is that i'm getting incredibly sick of marxism (and am getting there with capitalism, justice, and democracy), but that's another post that i'm probably not going to write. have been in enforced internet-isolation to facilitate studying and it seems possible that i may actually miss it when my best friend has a baby, for which i want to publicly apologise in advance, just in case, even though i will attempt to forestall the eventuality.
my love for CSI and CSI:NY is still great, but my two most-anticipated shows so far this season are grey's anatomy and the new CBS FBI drama, criminal minds, with mandy patinkin. i hope CBS's crime drama reputation and high budget will mean this show survives a long time. it's fun and plotty and i like the whole ensemble cast very, very much--and it's amazing they stand up to the awesomeness of mandy at all, y'know? i've also seen a bunch of movies lately: cypher (jeremy northam and lucy liu, 10 min of david hewlett) (fabulous and adorable), flightplan (entertaining and kind of cool), the aviator (great), corpse bride (adorable, fun), the brothers grimm (enragingly terrible), a dangerous man: lawrence after arabia (even more slashy than i had believed possible), and--finally!--charlie and the chocolate factory (not entirely flawless, but incredibly enjoyable).
