It's my half birthday if anyone was curious. I realized that a few hours ago when I left school early (two free periods at end of a half day; did you expect me to stick around?). Heh, fancy that. I realized while at the gym this afternoon that I brought home the wrong history books so I can't prepare my seminar. Argh, I might have to drive back to school tomorrow morning to pick them up because it's a long seminar, though I have virtually no time to do it.

I drove Rekha to school this morning with Dad in the car since no one else showed up to car pool. Brave girl. I think she trusted me not to get into an accident, but I'm pretty sure she was nervous the entire time. Hell, I would've been if I was somebody else in a car with me driving. For some reason I was really embarassed when Dad switched the Pulp Fiction soundtrack to Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water album. I don't know why; it just struck me as being too retro for some reason when having someone whose musical tastes are definitely out of the 60's sitting in the back seat. I'm retaking my driver's test on December 7, if you're curious. I doubt you are.

Watched the Saint for the first time during the 1 PM BBC America time slot. Roger Moore's Russian accent cracks me up; actually, any attempt of his to do a non-British accent does. And I really don't like the whole Russian communist stereotype thing especially of women, but I have to remind myself that this was Britain during the Cold War on a spy show (essentially, though Templar's more of a free-lancer).

I have a confession to make: I actually liked Steven Spielberg's the Terminal. It's rather whimsical and charming and completely fantastical, but I liked it. Viktor Navorski can be rather cute, though I really wasn't much of a Catherine Zeta-Jones fan here. It would've been amusing if she randomly burst out into song. Yeah, it's sentimental and oversimplifying and populistic, but you can't deny the charm.

My family cracks me up; I couldn't stop laughing during dinner today because mum was being so incredibly weird in a good way. I have decided that my mum is freakishly like Katharine Hepburn the more I think about it.
