and I remember why staying at home sucks out all productivity

[slumber]

Wuh. Why is my teh_music post not posted yet? I know I put it up before the last batch of posts, woe. :\ It's up, hurrah!

They cancelled classes today, and of course I'm pleased, because it means a few extra days to read up on the Insurance Code and do exercises in Finance (which I keep typing as Finacne, wtf :|) -- and jaig! You don't have to submit your research paper just yet, do you? :D -- but I'll be damned if I can ever be productive sitting at home. :\

Am going to this cafe place that my friend found, though, which is near our house and is relatively cheap for spending a dozen hours studying. Hopefully I can, with a burst of channeled energy, finish everything I need done for Marketing next week. Or something. Hurrah.

Watched Aeon Flux yesterday with my brother instead of Memoirs of a Geisha because we came too late and didn't want to see Memoirs halfway through, even though plenty have told us that Aeon Flux was a disappointment.

It was.

Plenty of my friends, because of Valentine's Day, I'm certain, have been all with the wallow lately. (Much love to all, by the way, and yes, this IS a late post on Valentine's. Ish. Don't you know, lateness is my trademark. Wouldn't be me if I wasn't late, and everything.) So, hm. If anyone's in the mood, here's a couple of different media. :|

Wallowing Resource Material:

• For Wallowing - the playlist, which isn't much and is probably horribly outdated. I don't know the songs I own, but yes. Request away. :| I'll likely have time over the weekend to upload them for you.
  
  
• A Story of Love - the story, by Ray Bradbury. Randomly posted, because my friend told me about it and I looked it up and wuh. Pretty cool.
  
  
• The Art of Losing - the poem, by Elizabeth Bishop, which I remembered from first year readings and tried looking up, because I kept wanting to show it to my friend. (Yes, dolts, I'm not making her up. :| Incidentally, she was the one who referred me to the poem I posted a couple of entries back.)
  
  
• DVDs - so I can't link to any of them, sadly, and neither can I offer them up for sending to random people, but no wallowing is good wallowing without ice cream, tissue, and these movies: Love Actually, Closer, Brokeback Mountain (Duh. :P), Love Story (which I've never actually seen, but you know. :P), and you know what? Try Little Manhattan on for size too.
  
  
• Wallow Food - According to Barbara Novak, chocolate's a good substitute as any for a man, and this, Willy Wonka says, is because chocolate releases endorphins, which give people the feeling of being in love. If you've no chocolate, there's always ice cream, Oreos, chips, butter-caramel popcorn, pizza, etcetera. :P

Yes, I think that's about it for today. ♥

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & the Waves (hardly new, but still. :P)
Hakuna Matata - Disney's The Lion King
