are only supposed to appear in Pink Panther movies. They're not supposed to happen in actuality.

I discovered first hand that oil and water do not mix. I was attempting to balance a cup of water on top of my lunch plate while carrying some books and putting on a backpack with my other hand. Needless to say the hand holding my lunch shook slightly, and the movement caused the cup of water to spill onto my lunch and onto my skirt and the lower part of my shirt. Thankfully watery pasta tastes fine, but now I have a few small olive oil/sundried tomato/water mixture stains on the lower part of my uniform skirt. Then, of course, I discovered that the button on my skirt fell off, too. Amazingly enough none of my clothing fell off, but still.

While washing the dishes tonight, I accidentally got scalding hot water down the rubber dishwashing gloves. I don't think that I actually burnt my left hand, but it's feeling a little tingly and strange. I doubt that it's serious but it's a little annoying. Then right after that, I managed to walk into a door so my left arm and shoulder are a little sore.

My schedule is crazy this week. Thankfully no one showed up to my TA session so I could study for the AP US exam, but I still have to finish laying out Counterpoint (I'm tempted to finish it next week. Should I to thus save my sanity?) and have intensive Electric Penguin practice this Thursday instead of studying for AP US. Plus, I had a meeting with the college counselor when I was supposed to do layout. Oops.

And then I ended up skipping CrWr because I was working on layout in the Box (the Counterpoint weekly newspaper office) and didn't realize that class had started until near the end of the period. Ooops. I don't think that the Fraz will notice my absence with AP craziness. I've got to send out my piece over e-mail for a workshop that I won't be able to attend anyway. I'm almost done with a publish-ready review of the Peter Cincotti concert, though, so that's good. It actually sort of makes sense now, or so it seems to me. I'll post it up later.

Green tea is my savior amongst my semi-chaos. I don't know what the heck they put in that stuff, but one can of Arizona green tea has managed to make me frighteningly energetic after staying up so late last night. I have no idea when I feel asleep to be honest. I do remember hearing somewhere that ginseng makes you feel energetic but I always assumed that it was some sort of urban legend or something that I mistranslated my grandmother as saying.

Ellie recorded the Ipcress File for me even though I didn't realize it was playing on TCM. I am tempted to keel over joyfully. The last time I saw this was on a really old VHS tape from the library on the wobbly TV set from the 80's in my parents' room. I shall hopefully figure out how to make the DVD recorder work and make myself a copy.

I almost forgot how much I love John Barry's score for the film. The Ipcress File soundtrack is the only soundtrack for which I paid $40-and it was worth every penny. Then again, I got the Japanese rerelease so that the sound quality was cleaned up and I didn't get the awful dialogue bits that crop up on Ryko release. This is one of the few monothematic scores (OK, there really isn't such thing as a completely monothematic score, but whatever) that I really enjoy. One of these days I'll actually come up with a good review for it, once I actually pick up some jazz terminology.

I for one actually like the strange camera angles as well. Funnily enough, my dad has the same coffee-maker as Harry Palmer.

I need to get a time machine to go back to the 60's.
