I made my first purchase from AT yesterday. I think I ended up spending a little more than I've earned there. That can't keep happening. While the only retail job that I'd want to have is at a store whose product I enjoy (I know I'm a snob), that may have its disadvantages. I'll have to be disciplined about what I allow myself to buy. Especially since, I really don't have the money to continue my normal frivolities (eating out, seeing/buying movies, going to concerts, buying books, cds, and, of course, clothes).
I should start buying and reading books for the fall semster, since I was able to get the book list for two of my classes, but I just can't bring myself to be studious or serious academically. Rather than my crazy friend who is reading a biography of Byron a week after school gets out, I'm reading children's fiction (in the middle of The Erstaz Elevator book the sixth in A Series of Unfortunate Events).
Some films I've seen lately: Crimson Rivers 2: Angels of the Apocalypse. I loved the first film because it was quite the mystery thriller. I wish I could read the books that inspired it, but I can't find any English translations, which is sad. Do you think the French struggle to find a French translation of John Grisham? This sequal isn't quite as good as the first (and is sadly missing Vincent Cassel), but I do enjoy stories with overt, heavy-handed religious imagery and symbolism. This one has that, plus Christopher Lee playing a modern German Nazi in this French film. Soo-pair!
Girlfight. I bought this uber-cheap at Christmas time but had not watched it (though I'd seen it before I purchased). It's the female boxer story, way before Million Dollar Baby. Watching it made me want to run and hit things, but only if it was in a montage while my stomach got flatter, my arms got more defined, and there was "Getting Stronger" Rocky-esque music playing.
