It's Tuesday early afternoon and Alexi and I both only had one class today and all Tuesdays and Thursdays, The Films of Alfred Hitchcock, from 10-11:30. So we have the whole rest of the day off and we are currently nearing the end of one of my favorite films, City of God. Directed by Fernando Meirelles, this 2002 film about the violent life growing up in Rio De Janeiro astonishes me every time I watch it. The cinematography, fast-pace narrative, blood, poverty, sounds; a cinematic masterpiece.
Enough about the film, just see it if you haven't seen it yet, but I will warn you that it is hard to watch.
On another note, I have 37 days until I visit Rachel in Ecuador for spring break and cannot wait to get out of the cold weather and of course see her. I told her yesterday on skype that is was -19 degrees but was mistakenly looking at the temperature in Celsius (still that means it was -2 which is still fucking frigid).
Other than that, Alexi and I have so much reading for our classes this semester and are trying to come up with the narrative for our film festival movie, constantly tossing ideas back and forth.
I got to run to go meet with my dean about my schedule, trying to to add a 5th course.

holy crap a fifth course? i dont know how you do it. if you need movie ideas, ask your grandparents about their history. Their full of stories...usually. Just an idea :-)
