we re-shot the end of jordan's film last night, which was quick and painless. i ended up staying up until 4am and waking back up at 7 to finish a paper, then i had to prepare for a presentation on unwed teenage mothers in the 1950s i had to give in front of my perspectives on motherhood class four hours later.
here's a fun little story: some of you may know that lack of sleep will either make me grumpy, extremely sensitive and melancholy, or ridiculously delirious and giggly. well today ended up falling into the third category. during my presentation in class this morning, one of the other students made a comment about media representations of the suburban nuclear family and threw out, "you know, that one sitcom called something like 'the beaver family'..." i knew full well exactly to what show she was referring--"leave it to beaver"--but in my sleep-deprived state i confidently responded, "ah yes, 'the angry beavers.'" and then i proceeded to giggle about it for the rest of class, trying so hard (and failing even harder) to keep a straight face. i am a complete tool.
