"Carpe Diem", said Robin Williams in "Dead Poets' Society", which I watched last night. Seize the day! It seemed to work for the young men around him. They certainly were inspired. Me..not so much. The movie was just OK. Some parts were OTT. And they spent way too much time over the suicide scene. I mean...you know the kid is going to kill himself. Why spend 10 minutes dressing it up, or in this case, dressing him down? And now I know where Robin Williams started with the whole eccentric, free-thinking professor role that he finished so well in Good Will Hunting. Now that, was a great movie. Matt Damon was brilliant, not to mention, easy on the eyes.
In any case, this is not a review of DPS or GWH. This is about the fact that I've been trying to Carpe Diem for the last 1 week now, without success. Its much easier to BS on my blog, than to actually write a grant, which needs to make enough scientific sense for the reviewer to consider handing over a reasonable sum of money over to me. So I can make that long awaited trip to Naples.
I'm off to try and think up a brilliant hypothesis..or atleast, one that sounds plausible.
