Caffeine.

I think I might just write the same thing here as I do in my GJ, except here I'll make it less personal. Hmm. Whatever, I'm just procrastinating.


Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid compound that acts as a stimulant in humans; stimulants are drugs that temporarily increase alertness and wakefulness. Therefore, caffeine temporarily increases alertness and wakefulness. Therefore, caffeine must be ingested in regular intervals in order to transition the aforementioned alertness and wakefulness from temporary to permanent, or at the very least, semi-permanent.

Roasted coffee beans are the world's primary source of caffeine; coffee is Amanda's primary source of caffeine. Therefore, roasted coffee beans are Amanda's primary source of caffeine and must be ingested in regular intervals in order to equate consciousness on Amanda's part, particularly when Amanda has slept for fewer than five hours and must be functional for an American Literature lecture followed by a full day of housework and errands, and then immediately followed by eight hours of work at a movie theater.

I love coffee. I love coffee in my shiny steel Toronto mug. I especially love coffee on days that end in "Y."

Oui. C'est fini.

Project 365

So, since I made that post about being a better person and whatnot, I've started to try and learn things. I bought a book a while back that was on the clearance shelf at Border's and it's supposed to teach me to draw. I haven't been signing onto AIM very much because I'd rather just not be on the computer. That in itself is a feat. I want to work on the computer as my job, though, I've decided. It would just be ideal, and I'm a really fast learner, especially when it comes to computers. Not to mention taking three years of computer classes in high school. Easy As. I finished the work in there like two weeks ahead of time every six weeks so I just read books and played online for the rest of the time.

ANYWAY.

I've also joined this community called the Project 365 Challenge. You're supposed to take a photo a day and then write something about it and keep it as a memory of that day. And then do it all year long and then have a record of it. I'm taking it very seriously right now. I hope it doesn't fizzle out. My Project 365 journal is Bright Red Boots at GJ. Here's the photo I took yesterday. It's my favorite of the three I've done so far.



The head projectionist of the theater resigned on Saturday. We got two movies in ("Firehouse Dog" and "Are We Done Yet?") and I had to make them up. It was the first time I've made up a film in about four months because usually I do other things on days we get prints in. This is me rewinding the Spiderman 3 trailer.

Review of the film soon.

I just got back from London tonight. I saw two screenings and met several people involved with the film. It was incredible. The film was magnificent. The performances were top-notch and everything about it was wonderful. I'll need to see it a few more times. A few thousand more times, perhaps.
