While watching the academy awards this past weekend I had an interesting revelation. Though I had not seen a single film nominated for best picture, I had seem almost every one of the flicks that formed part of the action montage. Somehow, I was more surprised by this fact that I (in all likelihood) should have been. If I'm honest with myself, action and horror are my two favorite genres. It's not that I never enjoy movies of "quality," it's just that I really, really, really love to watch people getting kicked in the head. [shrug]

This week, for the first time in my graduate student career, I was so sick that I had to take a day off to stay at home and avoid (I don't know... death... making myself more ill...) whatever. Chest colds are teh suck. Seriously. I took Tuesday off and confined myself to the bed the whole day, dozing off and on, medicated within an inch of respectibility, etc., and on Wednesday I was still so wracked that I had to leave lecture a couple of times to cough in the privacy of the hallway. Still, I usually only get a bad sickness like this once every several years, so I figure it was just my turn. (That and the fact that I recently remarked on how I hadn't really been very sick since moving to New City. Take it from Teva, don't never ever issue a verbal challenge like that to the universe. The universe will make you bend over. Ummhm.)

Spring break is drawing near, and I'm really looking forward to the chance to kick back and get my study on. I swear, with the week-to-week grind of regular class activities, teaching, and Grad Expo, I haven't once managed to scrape together the time to work on the big paper I'm writing for my Heian/Kamakura painting course. And I've promised an abstract and bibliography in just a little under three weeks (right around the same time that Grad Expo happens... hee hee!). I have got to get a move on, and I need to look fabulous as I do. [sigh] It never ends. ;>
