When is it ever going to end?! The tribulations of this month have been many. I hoped because today is the first day of March that things would improve, but no! We woke today today to find that the heat has broken again, the landlord never came to fix the bathtub, two out of our three sinks now will not drain, and Jamie's car won't start!
To capture the depth of this situation, I have created a beautiful animated film. You should click on the the finely rendered image of a bathtub below in order to view it. Don't forget to wait for the REALLY EXCITING ENDING.
But first I'll fill you in on the film: this cinimatic endeavor continues in the fine tradition of WRONG SORT OF SPANNER (BBC Productions, 2002) and captures the pathos of the situation of our bathtub: last week the hot water handle broke off completely, and though I went and bought a new handle to try and install...something was wrong. Thus we are forced to use an alternate method of turning the hot water on and off...watch to see more!

Congratulations on your animated film! You are destined for greatness. Another British news gem that comes to mind when reading your entry is, of course, EVERYTHING GONE WRONG!
I like the animated film for several reasons, first and foremost because the EXCITING ENDING looks like the kind of scary animal you might actually want to keep for a pet. Secondly, I am of course a sucker for EXCITING ENDINGS. Lastly, but not leastly (making up wordzzz!) I enjoy that I watched this AMAZING VIDEO while sitting on my friends’ couch at 7:51am. I’m on their couch because after taking a study break last night, I came back HERE instead of my own apartment. It was a study “break” because I have a paper due today at noon (post the paper due yesterday at four). The noon-due-paper also explains the awake-at-this-hour-on-Saturday and the procrastination-via-blog-comment. The coming-back-here when that was obviously the LESS wise decision can be explained by the serial killers. You know. The ones that get you when your roommate goes out of town and then you are stupid enough to read the entire wikipedia article on The Zodiac Killer because she's going to go see that new movie, Zodiac. They're the same ones that get you because you also looked up the director of Zodiac and he's the guy who directed Se7en and Fight Club - and Se7en terrified you, so you start constantly thinking about it. The killer tips you off that he's going to get you by having your friends randomly and coincidentally suggest that you all get together and watch Fight Club as a study break - there's safety in numbers in other people's houses. Fo' realz. (That director, David Fincher, has an amaszing quotation: ""I don't know how much movies should entertain. To me, I'm always interested in movies that scar. The thing I love about Jaws is the fact that I've never gone swimming in the ocean again."
The other day in 382 section (maybe two weeks ago, I can’t recall) someone was lauding the metaphor of the transparent eyeball. It took all my strength not to say “WELL IF YOU LIKE EMMERSON SO MUCH, WHY DON’T YOU MARRY HIM!??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!”
I thought of you.
Most innane comment ever! This does not bode well for the paper I'm writing that's supposed to be coherent!
