28 September 1999

Loooong 2 weeks here! Have had 2 large assinments due at Uni, plus 1 test - all worth 15% each. Hayfever season has started with a vengince. AND we all found out one of my friends from work had vansihed, because she had tried to commit suicide and had been institutionalized as a result. Esstentially every thing has happened all at once *sigh*.

The picture at the top of today's page is of Ellis Island in New York, and is also on my 2002 trip page. Which, I've just managed to start. Nothing much there as of this writing, but will have to work on it before I'm caught up with my exams in November.

But I have gotten a surprising number of people telling me they would be intertested in coming along to parts of the trip for a get together! Mainly only people from the jedihunks and m_a mailing lists though, but it should be a *lot* of fun :) Not sure just how to arrange it just yet though, but hopefully will be well on the way by the end of the year.

Have gotten the movie "Caligula" out today - you know the R18 one, which is supoosidly like a porn movie despite some of the `name' stars in it. (Inculding Malcolm McDowell, who I've something of a crush on for years :) Have barely started watching it, so can't tell what it's like just yet.

God only knows, what the staff at the vedio store think of me though! As, I've been getting all of these R-rated movies the last couple of months. Starting with "The Pillow Book" - mainly because of Ewan of course - and "Kissed". ("Kissed" is the movie about the women obessed with sleeping with corpses at her work, a mortiary. The quote "Have you ever kissed a dead man" comes from that and the book it was based upon - "We So Seldom Look On Love".)

I finally added this page to Open Pages last week, (a web ring for people with online journals). I just hope that people coming in from there don't think I'm too strange, or obessed with sex! (I don't think I am, at least :) Just don't be too afraid to go and check out the rest of my page.
