...life
Things are slowly falling into place her or at least I am. The neighbour is still there, and still crazy, the labwork is still not producing results and there are still the occasional bugs. I have kept busy lately, B and I went to see David Lynch’s Inland Empire a week ago, we watched Das Leben der Anderen on Monday, Tuesday I had an AFS meeting, yesterday I had to go pick up a returnee from Gardemoen. My project is and isn’t going well, we had some promising results earlier this week but then as we went further things stopped looking so good, but hey that is research for you. And at least this time the bad results were not because I made any mistakes. I have some interesting things coming up the next couple of weeks, I am starting a Yoga class in two weeks, and going to a seminar on how to make good courses. Then it is soon time for the usual, the AFS fall seminar, hope that it won’t be as foggy this year so I can go down to the World’s End. Then we have a preorientation for those going on an exchange in the New Year and soon Christmas is here and I have to decide where I am going to be.
Movies
As mentioned I saw Inland Empire last week, it was interesting, in a good way. I enjoyed it even though I did not get everything in it. For my visually cultured friends I think you might find this interesting, as it is mainly visuals with a side of text. The other people at the cinema seemed to be like these really serious movie types. You know like the types that go to see David Lynch but would not be caught dead at a blockbuster. And they probably had very serious intellectual conversations about the movie afterwards.
As good as Lynch was, Das Leben der Anderen, was so much better. Ok I realize that everybody saw this one like a year ago, but I missed at the cinema and B just bought it while I was in Iceland so we only got to see it this week. The story is just so beautiful and it is great to be riminded that despite all the bad things in this world there are also good people out there. If you haven’t seen it, do so as soon as possible.
...depression
The weather her has decided to follow my mood, it has been gray and blah, and then yesterday came the first real fall weather, with a LOT of rain and wind. I remember the weather being so much better last year, I was just looking through my old calendar yesterday and saw that on October 10th I went to the Ice-cream factory and that day the weather was so nice we sat outside eating our ice-cream, I wonder if I can smuggle my way to this years trip, I mean there are only 6 students in the new class we were 9.... There were a couple of other interesting notes in that calendar reminding me that at this time last year I was single and ready to mingle. The calendar also showed that Oslo was more happening a year ago, Snowpatrol concert, October fest, as far as I can tell there is no student October fest this year and there are no interesting concerts coming up :(
Everything is slowly falling into pieces, the neighbor situation is being looked into, I have ALMOST conquered the bugs, AFS is rolling along nicely, I am getting the hang of things at the lab (despite making ALL the mistakes in the book yesterday), I have a computer at school (still have to get access to a real MSN and the stuff I had on the computer including some programs needed for my project), I have my semester sticker so I am a valid student, I get my gym card on Monday, B wants us to plan a vacation together, I am going phone hunting today after school see it is all getting better.
