Lately I've been falling back into my obsession with American history. Or rather, Antebellum Age -> Civil War -> Post Civil War -> Jazz Age -> Depression -> Hollywood and etc. history.

I've been rewatching the beach-marching scene from the end of Glory over and over and over again. I don't know why, but there's something about the music that's getting to me. The main theme of the movie + the beating drums in the background + Colonel Shaw looking back on his men and then leading the march of the 54th regiment on Fort Wagner... aaaaagh it's so good.

(I could've sworn that he was riding a horse last time I saw this scene though... oh well.)

The first and only time I ever recall watching this movie was in AP US, but I feel like I've heard the main theme play before when I was younger, cause it's one of those motifs that would randomly get stuck in my head every so often when I was little. I think.

Random thoughts that crossed my mind today:

My jacket smells like fresh laundry and it's making me dizzy.

Indonesian food is greater than your face.

Random thoughts that crossed my mind today...

Simplistic ramblings of a simplistic mind.

I am naturally introverted unless you get to know me. Nah I'm still introverted.

Stupid spacebar.

Ok, so maybe I am pretty spoiled. To the point that I wouldn't mind it so much if I wound up living in my parent's house for a while after college; it's too nice here. Actually, it's so nice here I'd probably get bored reeeally fast, so I should live in a cheap apartment elsewhere anyway.

I didn't realize my old phone vibrated that much.

Turn your ear to heaven and hear the noise inside

I can't drive above 70 mph when my brain's on autopilot mode.

I should write this on my blog.

No, I don't actually know you.

This past week has been nothing but study. study. study. problem set. project. and then today went by too quickly. I don't feel like I've done anything today. -_-

I reeeally need to stop thinking about extraneous classes.

Peter Lorre is awesome.

I think I have an obsession with black and white films. I started watching a 1980's film (Blue Velvet) after just watching Shadow of a Doubt and Laura (I am having a movie binge moment) and I'm cringing at all of the freaking COLOR. and what the heck is this 80'S MUSIC?????

EDIT:
I think I am going to hold back on watching Blue Velvet for a while *cough*indefinitely*cough*. After inadvertently wikiing the rest of the movie after watching the first half hour, I don't know if I really want to watch the rest of it. It's a little too much for my taste. >_>

y me diste nombre
yo soy tu niña
la niña de tus ojos
porque me amaste a mi.

But really, in the past couple of days I've lost track of how many "hyperventilation" phases I've had.
