So, went to Mara's house on Tuesday, came back Wednesday night. We had a nice, relaxed time - made s'mores in the microwave (s'mores with gingersnaps > s'mores with graham crackers), watched Red Dragon, played video games. We also went out and window shopped for a bit, and I found the most perfect black leather coat ever in a thrift store. So I called my mom, and asked her if she would help me pay for it (it was $78 - good price for the coat, but a bit expensive for me), and she was all 'OMG buy it!' So I did. I'll take photos later when I'm actually wearing nice clothes - today is a slob-day, in part because my house is currently freezing, as our furnace isn't working and the guy who was supposed to come to fix it yesterday didn't.

On a more introspective note, I totally need to have more self-confidence in my writing stuff. I'm mostly okay about everything else, but writing is my little super-sensitive spot. I think it's some conversations I've had with people on related subjects recently that have been getting me so down this week.

...Well, okay, that and the MIT app I need to have, like, finished. But have barely started, because I suck. And now I'm going to avoid it more in favor of playing DMC and resisting the temptation to re-read bits of the Inferno, so I can laugh and laugh and laugh. The last bit is entirely Ari's fault.

Red Dragon is a most excellent movie. Glad you had a fun day out.

Bleh- totally agree with you on the writing front. It's difficult to submit something so personal for the review of others. Sometimes the feedback is worth the fretting though; other times it's not. Pick and choose your battles, I guess.

It totally is - we own it.

I know feedback is only going to help me, but sometimes I feel like I suck so badly I shouldn't even try. Which, uh, is bad when I owe people RP posts (Sorry Skuld ;;)

I won't allow myself to watch Red Dragon until I read the novel. I have this thing about reading novels before I see their representative movies. I've read and seen the other two Lecter stories, not counting Man-Hunter; most excellent.

Leather coats are love.

I can't remember if I read the novel first or not - regardless, I've both read and seen it and Silence of the Lambs, and will get around to Hannibal eventually XD;

Hannibal was good. Both read the novel and see the movie -- the novel has a very different ending from the movie. I don't know which ending I prefer.
