Finishing a paper and going to the movies for Jarhead

Today I finished my Canadian politics paper. Ok… Actually… It’s almost done! Just have to do the formatting (footnotes, bibliography, etc). And I will do that tonight. Then I can print it and sleep well!

I went to the movies this evening. I saw Jarhead. I actually liked it. The cinematography was awesome like the oil burning in the desert, the non-contrast between the sand and the army uniforms… The story was truly male and a great insight into guy’s heads, kinda… The music was also nice including a great Nirvana song, all in all just well suited to the action… Jake Gyllenhaal who plays Swoff is good looking and gives a great performance… I liked the camaraderie that developed between the characters… And the nice moments like the scorpion fight or the Christmas eve party… It’s about Swoff’s “pre-Desert Storm experiences in Saudi Arabia and about his experiences fighting in Kuwait” but I won’t get into the war part of it, about what the movie tried to accomplish. Just watch it and see for yourself…

I’m back at work tomorrow at 14h30. I’m ready to go out there and have all perfect calls, 20/20, doing all the required sales, personalizing the phonecalls and stating my full name! Watch out! I wonder how long I’ll be this motivated…
