Clearing the Hurdle

Thursday evening, so incredibly strung out from academic work, a general lack of sleep, and an over-reliance on caffiene, I began shivering and convulsing almost uncontrollably for several minutes, before somehow setting an alarm clock and pulling myself into bed, only to wake up several hours later to complete the stack of homework due for my Friday morning class. Imagine this process repeated several times weekly, and you too will consider it something of a small miracle that I've two new reviews to sport below, one at Stranger Song for the disappointing new film from Clint Eastwood, and one posted below for Vampyr, one of my absolute favorite early "horror" films. Here's to hoping that this weekend lets me catch up on my promised marathon entries (as well as Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette), but when my body begins to shut down and sleep even without my approval, there's only so much to be done.
