The Journal of CSI_Sanders1129

1. So, I went to see my school put on Martin Sherman's play Bent.

Plot summary: Berlin, 1934. Lovers Max and Rudy are leading a rather frivolous life. After a night of debauchery, they are suddenly faced with a Gestapo raid, which sends them on a nightmare odyssey through Nazi Germany. In the camps, since homosexuals are ranked lower on the human scale than Jews, Max bribes a guard to obtain a Jewish star in lieu of a pink triangle. There Max meets Horst, a fellow prisoner who makes him confront his own humanity.

And, that really isn't an adequate description of the play at all, but without spoiling it, that's what it is...

It  starts out hilarious and adorable and then very rapidly turns into something that is completely heart-shattering and heart-breaking and very, very, very sad. And then it stays very, very, very sad. 

I am also convinced at the this point that Matchbox Twenty's song Bent (Jeez, especially this video, twas not what I expected the video to be about. I was expecting more romance-y stuff) is all about this movie. Even though it's supposedly not. And also, supposedly there is a movie based on the play that I want to see.

2. Also, i feel sick. Blargh.

So, saw Inception and The Sorcerer's Apprentice today. On four hours of sleep. Which made Inception feel really, really long. But, nonetheless...

( Spoilers below the cut. You have been warned. )

2. Going to see Inception and The Sorcerer's Apprentice tomorrow. Can't wait!

3. Phantom Stalltion: The Challenger = Done.

2. OMGYAY!

1. The internets at my house are dead. With the exception of my brother's computer. Not sure why. At all. It sucks.

2. Saw 'The Losers' and 'Iron Man 2' today. Both epic. I miss the old Rhodey, in Iron Man, but damn they have some kick ass fight scenes. And I am like totally in love with Losers. Cougar/Jensen, yes/yes? I blame cynic_fic. Again.

3. I knocked out another of my lengthy list of projects. 2 things, actually, as I presented on Friday in MD. I got that and my Health Paper out of teh way and I'll be working on two more papers tomorrow. Phew.

I am so ridiculously productive today.

In all fairness, it didn't get off to a great start. First, my alarm failed to go off on time (because I am an idiot and left it on vibrate, which should have woken me up anyway but didn't) but got out of the house on time even still. Then, a school bus ran us off the road (was over waaaaay too far) and into a ditch and by the time we got to the end of the road, we realized the tire was decidedly fucked up. We made it back to the end of the driveway before it was totally flat and then I ran down to fetch the truck (thank God Dad was off today or we would have been thorough screwed) and we made it to class just in time (just as the Professor (who does not allow for lateness) was about to shut the door). So, yeah. Eventful morning.

Since we got home I have done two things:
-Read Merlin fanfiction, which I am terrifyingly obsessed with
-Watched Scooby Doo flicks (Boo Brothers, Zombie Island, and Witch's Ghost(loltimcurry))

Oh, and...
