blogger is having a weird error in which it not only cut off the end of the last entry, but is also preventing me from updating or deleting said entry. well, this is what is was supposed to say:

i just [last night] finished watching final fantasy: the spirits within. pardon me, but what a disappointment*. the eighth spirit is in their hands, and then alec baldwin is in the bird, and she's left to mate with donald sutherland? LAME.

sadly for me, my fate looks nearly as bleak as that girl's. although i don't have to do the dirty deed with the man indirectly responsible for the monstrosity that is keifer sutherland's career, i still have to deal with the fact that i have absolutely no idea what i am going to do with myself ten months from now. today i jumped back into my search for fellowships because, hey, who doesn't like free money to go study in england? well, i went to the marshall scholarship's website to really start looking into things, and i clicked on the profiles of all of this year's winners. the results: it looks grim. very grim indeed. grim is understatement. try hopeless. here is a typical example of the winners: there was one girl who not only spoke four languages, but was also learning sanskrit, and had birthed babies in nepal. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

the only thing that can cheer me up is this article.

*the notation is a tribute to my movie-quoting friend lindy, who always lets we simple folk know when she has made a movie reference by marking it with an asterisk.
