Moving Pictures

Success! I turned in my essay at 11:59 p.m., one minute before the deadline. (Just had to work until the very end, right?)



(This is what happens when you're stuck with books in a cave for too long.)

So, the big question comes up. What am I going to do now? Yesterday after classes, I saw "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" (2011) at DocLounge. It was awesome! To be honest, I didn't even know who Conan (or "Coco") was before the whole hullabaloo with NBC. This documentary focuses on his side of the story -- the individual, emotional and the showman. It follows the guy on his "Legally Prohibited from being Funny on Television Tour." Through the observational filming technique of the documentarian, we see Conan as if we were there, watching him think and act and respond. It's really satisfying and raw.

Today I'm going to meet up with some students from the Forestry department. We'd like to organize a field trip into the forest. It would be a good way to learn about trees, paths, and other nature we often pass and overlook. It's going to make me feel nostalgic for science reporting...

Later on a group of Lapinkaarians are going to see "Le Havre" (2011).

But first, I'm going to the university to have lunch. It's the best way to spend 2.50 euros on a gloomy day.
