Bloody pigeons

I totally finished applying online for ACAD. Now all I have to do is send in all my high school transcripts and hope that everything gets through on time.

Today has sort of turned into my "do everything" day. I think after months of being inactive, the "work" switch in my brain was miraculously turned on, if only for a short while. I finally practised my audition song (and by "practised" I mean "played the music so loud I couldn't hear myself and whispered the words in a reedy warble into my pillow"). I ended up screwing up the CD so it skips to the beginning of the song whenever it reaches the end, which I guess is okay for me. I also started cleaning my room, but stopped when I realised my guitar needed tuning. I love ADD. Really, I do.

Last night, I watched most of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and it really baffled me that someone would choose to make such a mediocre hollywood movie with all the mediocre hollywood cliches. The main character has a tragic secret that he tries to conceal beneath his tough-as nails exterior? The jerk in the group is actually in league with the enemy? The apparently useless female character has a hidden superpower that she only chooses to use in the direst of circumstances? Golly, who knew? It really gets my goat that there are rational adults who probably went to college working on movies like these. They could do so much better. Why choose to make a slapstick family Christmas movie or a bawdy fratboy romp? Crappy movies bring in crappy revenue, and usually take the same amount of effort to make as brilliant and well-respected movies. Why would anyone choose to go the forgettable route?
