My brain is flat. My confusion got too thick and heavy, smooshing it down until it pressed out the wrinkles.
My notes for my essay look like this: "everything's connected -- more connections -- more -- circles are symbols of unity and connection..." I'm dead. So very, very dead. I can't pull in the ancestor worship/honoring or the role of the trickster, because they don't appear in the assigned section of the movie. "First ten minutes" my ass -- it's closer to three, and if it's over five I will eat a damn mushroom that I hate will every tastebud.
Decided to kick around online and got even more confused. Kept clicking links, then having my brain sputter "Wait, what? I don't wanna be here, ack!" and having to run away. Frakking frak. Finally figured out their links are backward. I don't know if I have the link anymore, but it's bad
UI to do link colours one way and good to do them the other. I kept getting confused about where I'd been because I expected the meanings of the colours to be reversed. Of course I realise this on the
last page of the section I wanted to finish before bed. How frakking helpful.
Reading's done,
FLCL's done for the night, essay is so not done and so not getting done tonight. Meh. There aren't font size limits in that class, I think. And surely I can come up with a dozen ways to restate the all-connected theme, though I may need a thesaurus.
On the up side, a quiz has told Pasht that if she dies again, she'll become a poltergeist. Which goes against my personal theory of poltergeists, but is very amusing anyway because 1) Pasht is highly physical and would go even crazier being unable to touch people, and 2) I have a character named Poltergeist in
MURPG.
Jaina goes to heaven. I get into a scifi anthology or something.

Whatever.
Sleeeeep will help, if I can just claim some. Slumber, dreams, inspiration, writing -- everything's connected. Heh. Good to know I'm keeping tabs on my classwork, if nothing else.
