horrorshow

O, 'tis one of my favourite days of the year...

I pulsate violently as I think of the disturbing weeks to come. O' why are exams so evil!
I have my first this week. A Pharmacology lab exam. Caloo Calay, what joyous joys...so I have five in total.
But I should be happy because afterwards I shall be free! Excellent. Although I don't want it to be my birthday because I am afraid of  turning 20 D:
I need to make some New Year's Resolutions to be less afraid of everything and less morose about what happens in my daily life. It's lame being this way.

I am currently in the library next to some dude who is sleeping on top of his keyboard and making distressing grunting noises every few seconds. Er... I am studying for Pharmacology and going through the smelly online labs. I'd really rather be in the AV library watching Andy Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein or any of Dario Argento's wondrous films. I watched Suspiria. It was amazing. Different to any other movie I have ever seen. A visual and auditory treat with it's fantastical lighting and wonderful soundtrack. It was creepy too.

So yah...that's it for now. Another boring entry with me moaning about the trivial things I have to do in my life and the movies I watch.
Woop woop. I can't wait until summer.

Hammer Horror!  Mmm my icon. I wish I didn't have an exam on Halloween so I could have a horror movie marathon. Adrienne and I might be having a movie marathon sometime in the holidays... I hope this happens. Nats I would so be up for any kind of movie marathon with you.

And... I decided on my favourite movie OF ALL TIME. Fo' shur and fo' serious.
 

 

The Fearless Vampire Killers

Why?
- I love vampire movies, period. Especially ones actually set in Eastern Europe a hundred or so years back
- Roman Polanski is a great director
- Each shot is beautifully framed
- It has a very romantic, fantastical feel
- I love Christopher Komeda's score, it is whimsical and haunting
- It's a cute mix of horror and comedy
- Roman Polanski = adorable
- There is a gay vampire :B
- Sharon Tate
- Amazing castle and sets
- Innumerable other reasons

Polly. My love. My baby. I'll never forget you.
I miss you still.

I love you.

Forever.

It's the first beautiful day in weeks and I've got a nasty sore throat. My maman came home yesterday morning and I'm so happy she's back.

My lab exam is in less than two weeks and the other exams follow soon after. Needless to say...it shall not be fun.

I have an exam on Halloween. I wanted to have a Halloween movie marathon but alas. I need to see the rest of the Hammer Horror Dracula series and also the two Count Yorga films. I still want to see Captain Kronos but I don't think it's available anywhere.

I watched my favourite movie a couple more times <3

haro. i am in zhe IC level 4 study area, pulsating about and struggling to write an incredibly boring report on neurodegeneration.
my mum is away in inglund and i miss her!
i am so obsessed with hammer horror right now. so very obsessed, it is bordering on unhealthy! 8B durh...
i watched out of the blue, taste the blood of dracula and texas chainsaw massacre this weekend. they were all verrah awesome.
it was jonathan's birthday on saturday. we had cake and neenish tarts, went bowling and then had delicious japanese at bowz. mmmmmm...

the week from hell is over. praise be. i am so tired and washed out from everything but i have to study for monday's special treat: genetics test worth 37.5 %. it's worth as much as the final exam! oh lordy. pharmacology on tuesday was orright, hard enough though. the nameless horror on friday was terrible even though i worked so very hard. nerves always get the better of me. neuro was hard also, the same afternoon. i have to get started on my audiometry and visual pathways lab reports as well as write my drug assignment for pharm worth 20%!!!!! thinking of studying prozac/fluoxetine.

my dad is away at reno air races. the rest of us went out for dinner at the quaint little italian nearby 'me ne frego'. i had goat pasta and later, a hotcake with galliano, pine nuts and custard for dessert. it was a lovely evening until we returned to our car and found the back window smashed, a tote bag full of hats taken. they destroyed our car for a bag filled with caps?!!! man, so very often my faith in humanity takes a blow. it's hard not to think how they all suck so very much.

i watched bride of re-animator and it was beautiful and splendid.  herbert west is so very funny and crazee. he he.

no time to chill though D: i have to get going on genetics *evil* and all my other shiz. my room is so messy...

I am free. Freedom pelts through my veins like heavy fire, setting me alight. For the first time since March I am free.
I can be idle and I am happy. My exams are over and holidays are mine. I still have to do piano for my exam is in September.
I am sitting my Learner's next week. Finally. I've put it off for too long! It has become like a mountain in my mind. Little chilluns can do it so I am pretty sure I can.
We are going to The Gold Coast on Monday the 6th. Looking forward to it but fearing the flight, majorly! Especially after what has happened.
I had my last exam on Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday we went to Pearl Garden for Yum Cha. Oh so delicious. On Friday I went to Nats' farewell party. It was so much fun but I am so sad :( She's going to Wellington tomorrow.
I've been playing Baldur's Gate II like a mad thing. I am OBSESSED. It is so much fun. Dungeons and Dragons has been my love since I was a tiny child but BG is just....stunning.
More updatees later.

no one reads my lj so i'm thinking of deleting it. it's kind of pointless. or maybe i'll get a new username.
my first exam is in three weeks and i have been run off my feet with reports/assignments (4000+ words each, yo) and tests.
i feel dull and empty. i've just been trying to finish another report so i can start studying properly.
last weekend i managed to have some fun and went and saw THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS and SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. they were both so very good; one heartbreaking and the other uplifting.

uni is boring and i still haven't posted my ADIML. i wonder if i ever shall?

is there any point in keeping this thing going? even i'm not interested in what i have to say.

dario argento. your films shall be devoured by yours truly as soon as i have a little time. as will rosemary's baby and exorcist III since the first one now holds such charm. father damien karras...

my dad is exploring new york, maine and other new england states. jeaaalooousss.
