no-sleep sleepover

Since my dorm floor is so tight-knit we like to plan events to have together as a floor. Sometimes we have "study breaks" where we all come out of our studious stupors and make playdoh dinosaurs together in the common room while eating chips and salsa and listening to music... Stuff like that. Last night, we all camped out in the common room and watched A Waking Life, which is a stunning movie; I highly recommend watching it. It's like what What the Bleep Do We Know could have been like if they'd actually addressed anything in that movie. It's beautiful. Then we all slept in there for our official floor slumber party. It was lovely. Lots of cuddling and talking and generally adoring each other. Today, my floor is going to see a performance of a Sophocles play in another part of the city. It promises to be exciting, even though the're not using the traditional masks. It's a great play and I'm really excited to go with this group of people whom I adore so very much.

play-doh dinosaurs! That's how I get through long lectures, since my sitting still limit is about 45 minutes, give or take half an hour depending on the subject matter.

Also, YES to Waking Life (and also But I'm A Cheerleader, which you must've finally seen since it's in your Movies section). I'm also fond of What the Bleep, but I'm kinda a quantum theory junkie. Also it was filmed in Portland, and that's just plain cool.
