godreamAnd it's DARK outside.
This is definitely depressing.
During my english class today we watched a video of a performance called "Ghost Dances". And, surprise, surprise, that was also depressing. While the choreographer's comments that we saw before it said it was supposed to be inspiring... it was still depressing. Happy people dancing, acting out flirting or playing or whatever. Then the dancers with skull masks enter, the music changes, and one or more of the dancers "dies". Um. Yeah. I realize, again from the preceding choreographer's comments, that the point was supposed to be that look, other people get up and dance some more, they're overcoming grief or whatever... but I have problems getting past the whole death bit. Somehow I didn't find it exactly uplifting overall. Beautifully done, but still depressing. To me, at least.
On the plus side, I evidently got a 91 on the philosophy test that I procrastinated on studying for on Sunday night. This made my day. Seeing that procrastination worked so well for that assignment, I've decided that I'll go watch Buffy now instead of writing my essay. It's all about the strategies that work. Or possibly my personal laziness, but whatever. :P
