Yea, so, wanna know how hate the world in two easy steps?

Watch Hotel Rwanda and Schindler's List in the same day.


Note 1: Hotel Rwanda makes me wish for a real Team America World Police. I mean, UN peeps: when you go into a country as "peace keepers" and know that you can't actuslly shot people, doesn't it make you think "gee, if shit goes down we can't shoot people!", and then, don't you think "gee WHIZ! I wonder if those people waving guns and manchetes know that we can't shot them"

And then, the people rioting and waving guns and machetes think "Wait, they can't shot us--why are we only waving our guns and machetes?"

USELESS! USELESS UN!!!!

Note 2: Aside from the nature of the movie, Schindler's List is really rather....funny. In a wickedly evil way. Wickedly. Wickedly. Wickedly. It doesn't feel right for it to have so many funny bits. I mean, the scene where the hinge maker is taken out back to be shot, but all the guns malfunction, and the guy is just KNEELING there, flinching at each pull?

Evil.

Yes, but I'm definately going to be contemplating life for a completely of days now.

ugh

God, I really need to think about what I'm going to say tomorrow for my Italian Oral Exam, but I'm SOOO in the blank right now. The initial plan was to go in and just blather on and on about something pointless for the full 5 minutes and not give Gabriella a chance to ask me any questions. But DAMN am I not in an Italian-speaking frame of mind. You know, when you're sitting around, doing nothing but translating random lines of conversation in your head?

Maybe I'll just go back to one of my plans and try to explain the Discworld series to her. It's the only thing I've really been thinking about lately. Or maybe about how I've been accepted to the Florence program and I'm really excited about it, with room for some bad jokes in Italian about Italian bureaucracy. But that's all future tense, unless I mention how I want to go to Vizzini, and then I could blather on about the stories my aunt told me about Vizzini. I could probably get some historical past tense in there then, upping my Oral points by using something we just learned.

Or maybe I'll just sit here staring at the computer scene and dread the coming morn. Which is always a plan, albeit not a very good one.

I wish I was feeling a bit cleverer this week.
