OH SHITTING HELL. My massive review post just deleted itself. *WOE*

ANYWAY, *pointed look at LiveJournal* yesterday was HARRYTIME, AKA Another Theatre Pigrimage Of Doom... Harry Lloyd in The Sea, people. Good times.

Feeling slightly ambivalent about heading back to Yorkland on Sunday, really. On one hand, everyone has abandoned The Port so there's no one to go out with, plus it's, y'know, Southport. On the other, I've got so much reading to do this term, plus the Italian exam which I have to pass or I get kicked out. And considering how close I was to exhaustion (melodramatic, moi?) at the end of last term, I just hope I can keep up the energy and try to do my assignments at a time which is not the night before they're due.

There's been some crazy nights with some of my favourite people this holiday, so I think I've danced and sweated whatever the hell my problem's been these past few months out of the system, touch wood. Unfortunately, I have ZERO funds, so the dancing in public shall have to be put on hold. Pity the population of York that they shall be denied this fine spectacle.

Also, because I shall soon be deprived of Jo's laptop, and thus PSP7, protect your retinas as I present...

A few reasons why I might have ZERO funds...

1x Friday Night Lights, DVD
1x Monty Python And The Holy Grail, DVD
1x Little Miss Sunshine, DVD
1x High Society, DVD
1x United 93, DVD

Yesterday I saw a play called Mad Forest, and it completely blew me away. It was about the Romanian Revolution of 1989, its aftermath, and the effects on two families.

( Cut for gushing )

Anyway, I came out feeling amazingly ignorant about.. everything, so I did some very reliable 'research' on Wikipedia. If anyone's interested, here's the link:

Then we went to Ask, num num. One of these days I'll get some pictures up, because the place has to be seen to be believed. This was followed by another evening trip to Borders. I love that shop more than words. Anyway, my loan took another hit as I purchased:
1x Tristan & Isolde, DVD
1x Maragarita And The Master, Mikhail Bulgakov, Novel
1x The Map Of Love, Ahdaf Soueif, Novel

I really do have issues. Anyway, I started the Bulgakov, did the first chapter. It's completely amazing, but I started feeling really really guilty about not having finished Portrait of A Lady, so I manfully set it aside.

So, having returned home, we got stuck into Tristan & Isolde. I wasn't realy expecting great things, but I ended up enjoying it. Mainly because of Rufus Sewell. James Franco isn't the best actor, and his accent wasn't great, and the posters I'd seen had led me to belive that his hair would be better than it was. Anyway, Sophia Myles was fine, and the scenery was fucking breathtaking. *is wistful for Connemara*

Anyway, we paused the film at about 11.40, and pranced outside to see the lunar eclipse. I've never seen anything like that before. The moon was red. Anyway, we were all wrapped in blankets/ cloaks/ coats tied like Batman, and we were all feeling pretty pagan, so we basically danced around on the grass until it ws too cold to stay outside anymore.

Apparently it was the best lunar eclipse for ten years.

I really do love Borders. At home, the bookshops don't stay open until 10 selling coffee. Anyway, last night, in a moment of weakness, I decided to succumb to the 3 for 2 offer. It wasn't my fault. It was flaunting itself like a cheap hussy, with stickers and everything.

I really haven't been reading as much as I usually do, which makes me feel guilty and unintelligent, so I'm going the whole hog. Thus, a reading list to alleviate said guilt.

And yes, I totally ripped off half of these from Gilmore Girls.
