I'm trapped in a glass case of emotion

Overall, so far has been a productive 24 hour period. Watched Ghandi. That is such a good movie, it's definitely Richard Attenborough's best. I like him as a director, but he just doesn't get Americans. A Bridge Too Far is my example. I think I've written about this before, but he just manages to turn every American character into the most grating cliché. I think it's funny that in the UK David is as/possibly more famous than Richard. Nobody in the US knows who David is. Anyways, back to my sense of accomplishment... Extensively edited my sister's final big English paper of her high school career. I always like editing more than writing, although often I end up giving people back obnoxiously red pages and so I'm always trying to hold myself back from making too many notes. Sis however doesn't get that courtesy, the page ran red with ink. Vacuumed my room as it was badly in need of it. Cleaned out a bunch of papers and junk from my desk. It feels so good to throw stuff away and have all your papers that should be shredded, shredded. More irrational fears created by the constant barrage of pseudo-journalistic news magazine hype-making. Identity Theft, why YOU should worry. Please, I've got enough to fucking think about, I don't need to be made to feel that by throwing away an unshredded credit card statement I might as well be walking naked with my life savings in a plastic grocery bag through the worst part of town screaming, "RAPE ME ROB ME." Made blueberry muffins. Got a few time consuming, unpleasant chores done which I've been putting off for awhile done. When I started this blog I was wild with that giddy early planning stage excitement at the possibilities, combined with nervousness and anxiety that made me short of breath. Writing this has actually helped me calm down a bit, which is good. I've had all day a desire for Macbeth, so I think I'll be watching that later this afternoon once I've finished everything else I need to do. Ian McKellen and Judi Dench from 1979. I've never seen it before, so I'm excited.
