rfmcdonaldI watched Aliens last night with some friends, then continued on to watch the last third or so of Aliens Resurrection. Aliens was an awesome film; I was confirmed in my opinion of it being the best one of the entire series. Sigourney Weaver is a realistic action hero, and a realistic woman action hero; compare Charlie's Angels. And, of course, there's the element of acid-spitting aliens with multiple rows of razor-sharp teeth being such a fun Saturday-night adventure.
I have come down with something, some kind of bug that's making the circuit of the entire Queen's student population. I had hoped that one and a half years of intermittant work in the Children's Library back home would have given me some extra immunity, but alas this was not to be. I slept for ten and a half hours; I feel better now, though still not 100%.
I've been spending most of this weekend working on school materials. I've caught up on typing my notes; now, for the writnig and sundry other forms of organization. We'll be reading Margery Kempe's two books for medieval literature, Foucault for theory, a late 19th century novel--Howell, I think--for New York literature.
Today has been uneventful. Some organization, more errands--returning library books, seeing a friend off on his practicum for his BeD in Oshawa, trying out the swimming pool (quite good, with water much warmer than that of the Gulf of St. Lawrence). Later, I'll be going out for dinner with a friend.
