Life has been pretty crazy lately. I finished my Yuletide story assignment and then did something that I think is crazy even now after having finished and uploaded. I signed up for a Pinch Hit because I could do one that they were having problems finding someone who could. So I wrote another Yuletide story, but luckily for me this one came out almost all in one go so I was mostly finished it two days ago. *am insane*
Also since I'm back in the same city as the amazing video rental place I've started renting movies once again. The other day I got Hard Core Logo, which is a mock-rockumentary and good but really bizarre starring Hugh Dillon (lead singer of the Headstones, who incidentally went to my High School, as did so many other rock stars) and Callum Keith Rennie (RayK from Due South. I'll admit that I watched it a large part due to him, but I really like him. And he's very attractive). I also rented the first disk of Lost, but I didn't get into it. It doesn't seem to be worth its hype.
And Yesterday I rented Bon Cop, Bad Cop, which is a Canadian movie that is entirely bilingual (although you can put in whatever type of subtitles you like) and it was REALLY good. Very funny and lots of explosions. They even discuss french swear words as they shoving a suspect into the trunk of the French Cop's car ("It's a Quebec tradition."). I highly recommend it. I watched it without any subtitles at all, which was fun but it meant that I'm sure I missed a few things because sometimes they talk really fast. Especially the Forensics guy who had the added bonus of using technical language (and the only technical lanuage I know in French has to do with British Military towers in the 19th Century. Thank you summer job) so that was fun.
I've still got one last-minute present to buy and also I need to find a darning needle (or something that I can pretend is a darning needle) but other than that I seem to be prepared.
