The Science of Lauralogy

Score. I might ***knockknockknock on wood*** get the apartment with Margie for next year! Yay! for a supposedly high senior lottery number (72) and a shockingly low (32!!) general lottery number! And this year they changed the policy, so there aren’t two people for each number (boy and girl 32, meaning you’re actually 63/64), so yay again! Only 31 people in front of me! Margie, on the other hand, is 372. So yeah. I guess I’m just getting luckier as I get older. Maybe even lucky enough for us to form the estrogen-loaded female Apatyment. Been a long time coming, so fingers crossed.

Yesterday, at BAFICI, I saw a movie that I literally hated more than 2046. It was called El Sueño del perro and it was god-awful it oh-so-many ways. On the other hand, I got to see Scorsese’s Shine a LIght, which was, obviously, awesome. Very enjoyable. Sometimes cinema doesn’t have to be “high” to be good and Scorsese has finally jumped on that bandwagon.

My new grading policy for my independent independent study is based almost solely on the number of cultural activities I do. Meaning: movies, museums, historical things (like eating in old cafés!), and like reading sometimes. I am the best professor in the world.
