What? There's no Bette Davis day on this year's Summer Under The Stars on TCM? I'm really disappointed. August is my favorite month to watch TCM. I love Summer Under The Stars. It's cool that they're having Edward G. Robinson and Peter Lorre days, though. And a Michael Caine day. I still think someone else could be bumped for Bette. So in August all I get of Bette is Now, Voyager and Mr. Skeffington on Claude Rains day, Kid Galahad on Edward G. Robinson day, and Jezebel on Henry Fonda day. Most of these I've already seen. TCM's probably trying to change things up, but they have a Kate Hepburn day every year. Bette is "the first lady of film." What gives? I still love you, baby. 
At least this is my biggest problem at the moment. Life could be so much worse. I've realized that I'm totally ready to get back on track this fall. What this means, though, is that I'm not going to be around socially as much as I'd like. Unless I somehow have classes that don't require much work, but how likely is that, right? This last year I was sort of self-destructing because I couldn't figure out what the point of anything was. I was incredibly morose and then when things got even worse (for instance, the Directing Studio debacle) I just walked away because I didn't want to care anymore. I would think, "Why am I theater major? This is a huge waste of time." But now I've realized that there's nothing else I'm good for. I'm sure I could learn to do something else, but I really don't want to. So if I'm doing this I've got to do this all the way. Because you don't get anything without working, especially in theater. Most of us are doomed already. But now I say, get the hard work done anyway, then have a cocktail. Basically, I just gotta roll with it. In other news, The Dark Knight comes out this weekend. I'm super excited. I will probably be seeing Wall-E this weekend as well, finally. |
