Now that i'm working 5 days a week i understand why everyone (not students) value their weekends so much. And it's funny...i thought i'd be doing tons of cool stuff with my free time now that i don't have school, but all my free time activities have been very un-glamorous because all i feel like doing is sleeping, eating, reading, relaxing, or some other low-key activity.

Speaking of low-key activities...

i saw "Hairspray" last weekend. i think it's strange how movies can proclaim such a strong message of anti racism while being absolutely steeped in racial stereotypes. Granted the film is based off material that came from a less p.c. era, but still, this whole self-defeating thing isn't new or uncommon in mainstream movies. i guess i just think it must be weird for an actor/actress of color to be delivering lines about the evils of racism while their character dictates they be a sassy Black dancing sister...or something. Shrug. In any case, the movie was entertaining and the dancing was really good. And might i say i was pretty impressed with James Marsden. Who knew that Cyclops could sing and dance so well?
