PSA

Finding Nemo is the best movie I've seen in a really long time, from every perspective I can think of (script, originality, visual artistry, humor, emotion, etc.).

Go see it. If you're in Evanston and want to see it, tell me, because I want to see it again.

e-shapiro2

It has finally happened, after four years: e-shapiro2 has arrived.

For three and a half years, I have been the only e-shapiro at Northwestern. But I've started getting assorted emails directed at a French department grad student named Elizabeth Shapiro, and it's starting to piss me off.

Reminders to turn in her grades. Invitations to dinners with the rest of the grad students. Assorted requests from dumb people she works for who haven't figued out that her email is e-shapiro2, even though she's been here at least 2 or 3 months.

I thought I wasn't going to have to deal with this, though I probably should have known better. At least it's for someone whose email isn't horribly asinine. Marc Hertz, who was my roommate for a while, constantly got email for some m-hertz in a sorority that made him want to throw his computer out the window.

I guess this was inevitable, however. Hopefully I'm not going to start getting emails for e-shapiro3 one of these days...

I'm Moving

To Denver.

And So It Goes

Sorry I haven't posted much here about what's going on with my life. I've been spending my time avoiding actually getting things done and coming up with all sorts of zany plots, which will be posted about here as they all come to fruition.

For now my life's a bit of a work work sleep work work work drink work work work watch a movie work work cycle. But the cycle shall be broken soon by graduation and the aforementioned zany plots, so stay tuned...

Never Insult Roger Ebert

Because he has excellent pithy comebacks like:

"[Film director Vincent] Gallo has put the heebie-jeebie on my colon and prostate. I am not too worried. I had a colonoscopy once, and they let me watch it on TV. It was more entertaining than [Gallo's film] 'The Brown Bunny.'"

Further insults for Mr. Gallo can be found here.

The Onion Reflects My Life Far Too Accurately

My Onion horoscope for this week:

Gemini: (May 21—June 21)
Keep in mind that it's important to set goals so you feel appropriately pathetic when you fail to achieve them.

Yes!

I know who I'm casting my ballot for in 2004.

Update

I haven't been writing because I worked a double Friday and then I've been helping people move all weekend. Sorry.

Katy left this morning. It sucked. She's been my roommate for the last two years and has been one of my best friends here. You never realize how much your friends mean to you until you're suddenly confronted with not having them around.

When she left, it finally hit me that everyone's really leaving for good, and I couldn't handle it. I've been an emotional wreck all day, which has just been a big old barrel of laughs.

It has not been a real fun few days. I'll write more when something more amusing happens, because I don't wanna depress y'all.
