How I wasted my afternoon
cleolinda Watching "The Invasion" on cable. Had forgotten how ridiculous the Nicole Kidman/Daniel Craig non-romance is.
cleolinda "You're my best friend, I can't risk that." NO YOU MORON! HE'S HOT ANGSTY PEDIATRICIAN MAN! ARE YOU BLIND!
cleolinda And I'm still not sure how she teleported from a residential area to downtown wherever.
cleolinda The funniest part to me is the ending, but I probably shouldn't discuss that on open Twitter.
cleolinda Okay, I've posted a comment on my original review of "The Invasion" to discuss the ending: http://bit.ly/10kjnO
cleolinda "You can EASILY go for a week without any sleep!" OH WHATEVER. I pulled sleepless paper-writing weekends in college and it was NOT easy.
cleolinda Apparently if you go long enough without REM sleep, you go into psychosis. I can totally, totally believe it,
cleolinda because I was up working on papers for like 60 hours and was just gibbering by the end of it. Really, really counterproductive.
cleolinda I would get blocked and push it until the last moment. Yeah... bad idea. I worked really well under pressure until I was 20
cleolinda and then it was just over, I couldn't pull it out in the last two hours anymore. And I learned this the hard way, woe.
cleolinda I think a lot of my blocks really tend(ed) to be about anxiety and unrealistic expectation, particularly in college.
cleolinda Yeah, I basically had a nervous breakdown because I suddenly couldn't work the way I had for years.
cleolinda It was like I lost my teenage metabolism overnight or something.
cleolinda Ah, Nicole Kidman stumbling around 7-11s chugging Mountain Dew. Just like senior year.
cleolinda And in closing, re: "The Invasion": My mother watched the first 1/2 hr or so, and you know her issues with Blond James Bond.
cleolinda She got to the "You're my best friend" scene, stares for a moment, and declares, "She's an idiot." ~The end.~
cleolinda ("That totally looks like his kid, too.")
