I had a sudden vision of our lives in space

We were all wearing futuristic armor with the ridiculous boob cut-outs and waving bat'leths.

Dear id: feel free to run that fantasy again as much as you like.

NO. WHAT. NO.

DID HE JUST COUNT THE RIBS ON THE HUMAN SKELETON AND ANNOUNCE "NO, IT'S A MAN"?

*SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM*

I was told it was terrible but I thought that mostly meant the CGI!

Is this imposter syndrome too?

(I remember back in sixth grade--so about 12 years old--I, in the early and less finely honed days of my procrastination, wrote the major research paper the night before it was due, then, you know, got a decent night's sleep and went to class the next day. I got an A on the paper, which rather dazed me, and got taken aside by the teacher and told not to tell the other students I finished overnight because many of them could not do so and I shouldn't make them think they might.)

So let me tell you how I wrote my final paper for my summer class: on the last day it was due, I watched a couple of movies not for the paper and instead for the quiz, went to breakfast with niqaeli, took the quiz, took a nap, started watching two films for the actual paper around 5pm, finally opened a word doc and started throwing words at the screen, took a break to go to the store, threw some more words at the screen, and turned it in right at midnight.

You see, I knew I only had to get about half-credit on the paper to get a B in the class, which would have been totally adequate. So I decided not to stress about writing a good paper and just wrote something, because turning in pretty much anything was gonna be okay.

Today I got my grade back on the paper. It was full of superlatives. My paper was mature and focused (focused?! I couldn't even pick one movie, I wrote about three of them, which was something I was concerned about and asked the prof about last week) and could be published or presented at a conference and--

Look, I was seriously wondering if this was a joke, and if it was a joke, how in the fucking hell the professor was allowed to be this much of an asshole.

But the actual grade on it was a 99% and I got an A+ in the class so I guess he meant it and I don't know what to do with that.

I have to keep reminding myself undergraduate papers really kind of suck a lot?

holy shit

You guys, it looks like the apocalypse here right now. This big dark storm cloud descended and right now the visibility is about twenty feet.

I feel like I should be out shooting footage but I'm pretty sure it would destroy every piece of equipment I have.
