Exams are upon us. god, they fill me with dispair. but, they also allow for plenty of procrastination. Which is nice. Unfortunately, at the current trajectory (ah trajectories), I will be doing them for years to come. Whose idea was this?
Looking forward, very much, to the upcoming break. To spend a significant amount of time with people I haven't seen in a while (here's looking at you azim). Watch movies and make cook books and generally enjoy the city.
So, what am I thinking about, you are certainly asking yourself. I shall tell you now:
the real basics. the oddity of power. the simplicity of action and the complexity of reaction. the perverse sensuality of sinusoidal curves, coming at you wave after wave. the adsurdity of cliche. loss and gain.
things like that. Not, unfortunately, about contract theory or how ATP is made. Which, by most measures, would be the more efficient and rewarding things to be thinking about.
I watched 2 movies last night at chez tippi, while ostensiably studying. A doctumentary on Idi Amin, who was presented as a beast, more animal than man. Innocent, somewhat, perhaps unable to prevent his own atrocities. He may have caused the deaths of 500,000 people. and then we watched the Wrong Guy and I laughed. Rapid switch. Concerning.

Go see "the last king of Scotland" - the non-documentary perspective on Idi Amin. It'll make you want to throw away those law-school applications, become a young idealistic doctor, befriend a new president of Uganda, become sucked into his world and...
Anyways. You should see it.
