Day 45: I Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Day 45 was a Sunday. I usually detest these days...I mean who would want the weekend to end so soon? I don't want to fill out more APUS journals thank you very much...

Lucky for me, its Spring Break, so Sunday played out quite nicely. I got to see another drama about a mental institution (I've been seeing a lot of these lately....I wonder if this says something about me <.< >.>) and I discovered a classic song that you guys are bound to enjoy, but first, let's take a trip over the cuckoo's nest...

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was originally a novel written by Ken Kesey in 1962. Eventually, director Milos Forman made a film out of it in 1975, starring a young Jack Nicholson as the lead character. It was the second film in history to win all five major Academy Awards in the same year (a feat that would not be matched until 1991's "Silence of the Lambs"). It's considered by many critics as one of the greatest films in American cinema. Is that enough incentive to make you go see it? (Ok, maybe I got that information from Wikipedia, but if its the general public writing these articles, doesn't that mean they favor this movie over all others?).

On the way home from church (yes, I'm a Christian, deal with it), I encountered a classic 80's hit that I just /needed/ to recommend for the blog. It's called "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman. Hopefully that sounds familiar to you. If not, you need to take a listen...this song has been on the radio for as long as I can remember, and I have yet to become tired of it.

Yes, I know this entry sucked. There just hasn't been a lot going on lately....and the fact that my mind has turned into the equivalent of an obese couch-potato undergoing a midlife-crisis hasn't helped. Not to worry though, I'm taking a rather exciting holiday soon...one that might interest many of you. More on that later :)

My wings are tired and I can't find the damn Cuckoo's Nest. I guess we'll just have to try and find it tomorrow....

G'night Interwebs!
