Most of this was written around 2 AM last night, right after Peter and I got back from the movies with Wes. I was tired and headachy. The music went from "Untitled Song" from REM's Green to "Dead" by They Might Be Giants" while I tried to submit, but eventually I gave up and went to sleep. Anyway, here goes:

As I just said to qousqous over IM, "matrix reloaded splodey boom. head hurty now." I am at once pleased and disappointed, but oh that Matrix Revolutions will certainly help me keep entertained until The Return of the King comes out, yay hurray! And that's all I'm going to say about it, because my brain hurts and I want to sleep.

However, I will note that according to Peter, Weird Al has a new album out, and it features an "Angry White Boy Polka", which is the cutest thing I've heard of in quite some time.

Also, my interview with the owner of the Glenwood Restaurant went... strangely. We spoke for over half an hour, which would usually be a good sign, except that she didn't really smile at all during our conversation. I got the impression she was worried that a) I don't have enough experience and b) I won't like the work and will quit after a few weeks. I tried my best to convey my big enthusiasm, but don't know if I succeeded. Oh well. We'll see if they call back.

Ok bedtime now. Iggy Pop has been acting kind of weird today --- all slow and sluggish and lazy, like a cat twice his age or more. I think maybe he's sick, but then again he may be feeling better, since he just hopped up onto my lap and purred when I petted him. Yay! But yay in a bedtime way, yes indeedy.

By the way, Iggy Pop is definitely doing better, or at least purrier. He came and slept on our bed last night, and hung out there with me this morning. Also he's getting back to being his usual yowly demanding self. Awww....

Matrix Reloaded ate my brain.

But I'm not alone, oh no. There's plenty of discussion on the InterWeb of, by, and for people similarly afflicted, and it's curing me of my obsession quickly enough, mostly because hot diggety people can't spell or punctuate worth a damn! Ack!

So far I've read through entirely too much of IMDB 's message boards on the movie (this was because I read in an AlterNet article that Cornel West has a part in Reloaded, which I had to verify, and sonofagun he does!) and wow. It makes me feel incredibly literate, really it does. Sigh. Anyway, I'm just about done rotting my brain on that, although I'll probably have to give in and download me the Animatrix episodes I've missed. And then maybe I'll be able to do some dishes and get to the library and generally approximate having a life. Maybe.

Edited to add: I'm still sorting out the plot of Reloaded at this point, since I think at times I got too distracted by the shiny to actually catch what the hell was going on. Of course, "what the hell happened?" blurs into "what the hell did that mean?" in my brain entirely too easily. Sigh. One thing is clear, though: Hugo Weaving rocks so HARD! Mitzi the Malevolent --- I mean, Agent Smith --- was one of my favorite things about the first movie, and in Matrix Reloaded he just looks like he's having all the fun! Yay actors looking like they're having a good time! Yay! Ok, done now.

In non-Matrix-related news, I might have another student soon --- this time, high-school pre-calc stuff. Whee!

And finally, a big LiveJournal welcome to poppydos.
