In absentia

I haven't blogged in awhile. No particular reason. I'm not even sure anyone reads this, I like to think maybe my mom, but I know that's not true.

I had the flu for a few days, couldn't even get out of bed. It sucked. I almost killed people when they decided to have a party in the common room last Thursday. I'm better but still have a stupid cough and stuffy nose. I hate being sick.

We made meatloaf, mac n cheese and mashed potatoes for Sunday dinner. It was delightfully midwestern according to Margaret. I was just glad to be able to eat solid food. Perhaps my flu was what kept people away but for whatever reason, it was just Sean and I eating at first. We had a smallish gathering for the movie (Romeo and Juliet), which was also nice. I guess I'm just feeling a bit anti-social in my recovery.

For some reason Sean and I are on a movie rampage. We went to see The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus at QFT on Monday. I liked the movie, sort of, and was glad to see it nonetheless. I thought Heath Ledger was really good and liked how they integrated the other actors into their vignettes. Went to Laverys for the first time afterwards and had a really good time.

Tuesday was Inglorious Basterds at Movie House. Loved it. Thought it was hilarious that we were the only two laughing. I was reminded of how much Michael and I wanted to see it from the very first preview and subequently missed him.

Tonight is going to be Up at Movie House as well. I'm glad I'm finally catching up on all the movies I really wanted to see but didn't for whatever reason. Can't wait to see it.

For some reason I'm just not as worked up about school this week. Maybe because I still feel shitty or maybe just because the reading load seems lighter. I am still really enjoying it though and I feel like I am understanding things a lot better. I had to do a presentation on Tuesday of one of the readings, it went reasonably well. I'm glad to be done with it.

I suppose I should get back to reading before the movie tonight. I'm super excited to kidnap Sean for our adventure this weekend!

More later,
Maggie
