It was a pretty dismal week last week. Not bad or horrendous, just nothing extraordinary happened. I had this thing with my left eye where it was twitching and bloodshot, and for a while I thought it might have something to do with my vision and looking at computers all day, but it seems to be clearing up now. Pink eye? Eye strain? Dry eyes? My car finally stalled on me, which wasn't a big surprise since I've been having engine trouble, and I took it to a mechanic that everyone at work raves about. Turns out the car needed a tune up, and I got away with a bill under $200. And finally, I ran out of 10 inch photo paper at work. That probably doesn't mean much, but the way my processor works, most of the work I do is on 10 inch paper. I told my boss this, and he just shrugged his shoulders, and said more paper was on order. Thanks for caring Dave. It's your business, fucker.
Watched 'Brazil,' my second Netflix movie. If I was judging it on technical merit, it would get an 'A', but the narrative was a mess, and hard to follow. The last half hour was the best, when the movie finally lived up to its dystopian, 1984-esque plot, and it had a sense of controlled chaos. But I thought the daydream, fantasy sequences were unnecessary, we didn't need them to know that the main character, Lowry, hated his job, and ultimately, himself.
One more application, and stage one of the grad school process is done.
