Today Fet pointed out that by the dictionary definition, I really am a feminist. Well, :-P to that. I still don’t want that
label pasted on me.

I wrote an essay on The Silence of the Lambs tonight, which was incredibly easy. It was only supposed to be a page, but I needed two to explain my ideas, though I could have easily made it much longer. While I was writing that, I kept thinking of scenes in Hannibal that either contradicted what I was saying, or supported it, and I was a little upset that I couldn’t use that as a tool for comparison. One thing I noticed after watching “Silence…” is that Lecter is a lot looser and more relaxed in “Hannibal.” I’m sure it has a lot to do with the fact that he’s not caged up in prison in that movie, but there’s a whole different air about him in the second film. He’s a lot scarier in the first one I think, although his subtlety is rather disturbing in the second. Ah well. I am really looking forward to seeing Red Dragon when it comes out, which is coming up shortly. This time, I will not go see it after having a large dinner. I learned my lesson the first time.

Ack, about an hour left till I have night class. The class isn’t too bad once you’re there, but just knowing that I won’t be able to do things at home during the evening is frustrating. As it stands, the only night of the week I have free is Tuesday, but thus far that has been taken up by Hall Government meetings, so I really am feeling a little swamped.

Oh, I almost forgot. One of my roommates from a previous year, plus another friend, are looking at renting an apartment for next fall. They asked me if I’d like to move in with them, and I was thrilled to say yes. I think 4 years in the dorms is about enough, even if they do have kick ass internet connections (though IRC is blocked). I think it’ll be a fun and exciting experience, as I’ve never lived in an apartment before, much less with friends. So in the next few weeks, I guess they will be looking at places. I hope to go along to at least a few showings so I can get a feel for some of the places, but because my nights are full already, who knows if that’ll actually happen. Regardless, we’ll be getting a place that’s within close walking distance to the university, so we won’t have to be concerned about parking and things like that. I’m really excited!
