when the king is off his ass, nobody sleeps!

At the rate I'm abusing loud epic music and drinking a lot of cold water, I have no idea which one is more effective in keeping me awake.  If I were a real scientist I would more accurately attempt to find some sort of causal as opposed to correlational relationship and investigate each variable's influence on wakefulness and attention span...but hey, psychology is a social science.

I also have a nasty feeling that the dark circles under my eyes are going to become a permanent facial feature.  Oy.

I probably should've started revising my sucky rough draft of this paper before midnight today, but I've had two midterms in the past two days and was suddenly bitten by the summer job hunting bug, which shouldn't be an excuse.

Attention is like tidal waves.  I can feel my concentration quickly ebbing away from me and then slipping back for a few moments.  If I can finish up within the next hour or so I might still be able to convince myself to go to my 9:00 lecture on desertification.

The Philadelphia Story, with Jimmy Stewart, Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. It's a fabulous, biting social commentary; I'd recommend it.

ooooooooooh! I was wondering why C.K Dexter Haven sounded so familiar! Yeah, i've seen it - many times, actually. The opening scene may be my favorite opening scene of any film. Old movie are kinda my thing - i grew up on them. Do you know "Arsenic and Old Lace"?

I'm afraid I haven't seen that one, but I've always wanted to. I, too, tend to prefer older movies - there's a certain artistic flair that's just so hard to see in a lot of modern entertainment.
