I haven't watched Band of Brothers in awhile, well since it first aired back home actually which was almost 6 years ago. So seeing as it's the holidays and I have been keeping up-to-date with my readings and what not I decided a little BoB was in order. After having spent the last 2 days watching all 10 episodes and then today rewatching, Bastogne, Carentan and The Breaking Point I have so much love for all those boys and so much hate at the atrocities that they experienced and bore witness to.
I think what really sucked about watching BoB was knowing that these were real men and those were real experiences. Something I had the good fortune to not have known when I watched it the first time. But god that really sucked. Still, I recommend it to each and everyone of you out there reading this. Just bring along some tissue.
In other news, I've been iconing again, and I'm actually pretty happy with the results this time around. I've been inspired by BoB and Bleach to make some really pretty icons, that I'm hoping I'll be able to post up by Monday. Also I managed to send in submissions for the
bleach_icontest and
jensenstillness icontests, something I haven't had the time for recently.
Last thing left on my to do list, as always of course, is to study. Have 2 quizzes when I get back to uni after the break, the week after I have one quiz and one assignment due and the week following that I have another quiz and yet another assignment, this one an individual one involving some stupid program I just can't seem to figure out. So all in all it's gonna be pretty hectic from here on out.
God I can't wait to go home.
