buoyancy problem — so my swimming instructor is really happy with my progress in freestyle… at the end of my lesson today i did four laps of the fifty metre pool with my fins on, but like, totally doing the arms & the breathing things, which i’ve never been able to do… & i can do about fifteen or twenty metres without my fins before i start to sink… so i’ve still got some work to do, but really, it’s pretty much just a matter of practice now… & i’m learning breaststroke & backstroke & lifesaving stroke as well… still haven’t got the hang of treading water yet, which is where my buoyancy problem is most noticeable, but yeah, i can pretty much swim, which is just fantastic…
donnie darko — keri & i went to see donnie darko after i got outta the pool, & yeah, i really liked it… it’s quite, uh, dark, but yeah, i, uh, really liked it… some really good performances in it & i thought the script & the direction were pretty good too… i dunno so much about the ending, which i didn’t think was quite complicated enough to do the film justice… not so much in terms of what happens, but in terms of how it was handled… but yeah, worth checking out… the website is also well worth a look, although it does contain spoilers, so if you worry about that kinda thing you might wanna see the film first…
