Recurrent Reality

Ah, I love the smell of blogging when I should be doing something else (if it´s something more important or not is relative, in my opinion). Apologies for my long absence, and I´m sure you can all think up interesting and slightly unbelievable excuses for me yourselves. Mainly I´ve been having some financial trouble, nothing too bad but enough to have to cut the internet line. But now I´m back at university and the lovely library facilities.

Summer´s over and to be honest I´m glad. I was a bit sick of doing nearly nothing and wondering what this term will be like. I have "Functional Neuroanatomy", so here´s fingers crossed that I´ll get to dissect brains... at least just some tiny monkey brains (of course only if the monkeys died of natural causes, which might be a bit tricky).I´m a bit nervous because I changed to the afternoon timetable, so I´m going to be "the new girl". And you know how CRUEL human beings can be. On the other hand, they might make me their queen, bwahahahahah...

So before I run off to class in an hour and a half, I´m going to count what´s been gained and lost this summer:

Gained:
- a new dog. His name is Tecate, thank you worringly alcohol obsessed boyfriend =) He still doesn´t know how to fetch beer yet though. He´s a Belgian Malinois.

-Lot´s of zombie friends! I got to work in Resident Evil 3 as a zombie extra. It was fun, despite having to stand in the sun for hours, covered in mud with temperatures over 40 degrees.Mostly I guess only my hands will show, but just in case, look out for the tall blond behind the fence. The last two days of filming I got to wear prosthetics, which took an hour and a half to put on and the a bristling half hour to remove. It was painful, but well worth it. If they don´t edit me out (knock on wood) I´ll also be the blond zombie in a red dress at the begining! Saw Milla only once but she was less than 20 meters away. She´s very good looking and extremely friendly.

-Weight. Argh, have to start going to the bloody gym again.

-A fiance? Not till I have the ring, darling, haha but just thought I´d keep you on your toes!


Lost:

-My dad, for a whole 2 months. And then he came back a christian. Better the devil you now huh? Now we spend our afternoons discussing religion. He tries to convert me, I suceed in making him very angry about my faithlessness. I guess I should stop asking if man is made in God´s image. Like, to the smallest anatomical detail... which then beggets the question: Does God poo? I know, it´s extremely childish, but it works.

Goddammit you mean I now have to pay to see that film? The first one was so awfully terribly bad ... mostly because of Ms Jovovich, though I'm sure she's a lovely person ... that only the onscreen prescence of Michelle Rodriguez kept me from vomiting out my own eyeballs (I'd have found a way). And though I'm sure you'd have an even stronger positive effect darling (I'd be ... sucking in other people's eyeballs from sheer enthusiasm? Yes I would!) I'm not sure twenty seconds of your hands and a bleached Bodicea will cut it :S.

Just kidding, of course I'll go see it. It'd be more than I've seen of you for a couple of years, anyway.

I know I owe you emails in quantity and I promise that's how I'll spend this afternoon! Love to all your menfolk. I miss you.
