Last night I watched "the Machinist" with Christian Bale. HORRIFYING. But not because its a horror movie, which it isn't. Horrifying, because the normally 195 lbs Bale lost about 70lbs for this role - he looks like a Holocaust victim. Extremely gaunt and genuinely creepy! It took me a long time to adjust to seeing him like that. Really kind of gross and unnerving.
Equally unnerving was after watching it for a little while I realized that the character he was playing reminded me of the last guy I dated. He and I went out about four times or so. Bale's character's face and loser/weird/trying way too hard demeanor is what reminded me of him and confirmed to me that I made the right decision in not calling him back. That too was unsettling. There was something genuinely similar between the two. Creepy.
Something made me sick last night, I overdid it again and this morning am paying the consequences. Oh and I have a test in Islamic Art History that I am FAR from prepared for, but in the spirit of the funk I have found myself in of late, I really can't be bothered to try much harder.
le sigh.
About Me
- Ann Marie
- I would be remiss if I didn't extend my gratitude to the Fulbright program for this jaw-dropping opportunity, as well as to the Honors Department at the University of Louisville, for its hard work in ensuring my selection as an English Teaching Assistant to Oman for the 2012-2013 year. My brief bio - Born and raised in Amboy, WA, I attended Clark College in Vancouver, before going on to the University of Washington in Seattle where I earned a BFA in Fine Arts - Oil Painting in 2004. I then attended USMC Officer Candidate's School, and accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the summer of 2005. I served for four years as a logistics officer, stationed in Camp Lejeune and deployed worldwide. After the conclusion of my commission, I moved to Louisville, KY where I attended the University of Louisville, achieving a BA in Art History and a minor in Middle East and Islamic Studies.
