And Here We Are

• Friday, May 20th, 2005 • No Comments

Here we are again, it’s one o’clock in the morning, or at least very close to it, and I’m feeling sassy and emotional. Or, maybe that’s just emotional and pathetic? Not sure which, really. I’m going to eschew the pleasantries here, and eschew the desire to eschew sounding like I’m pathetic. (Anyone else thinking: “Eschew!” [...]

Stop making amazingly awesome shit, yo.


Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

• Thursday, May 19th, 2005 • 4 Comments

To begin this review with something like, “Star Wars and I go way back, back to my younger years, back to my youth, that young and impressionable stage where even the shittiest of movies can seem enjoyable,” would be completely superfluous, because, let’s face it, Star Wars was in practically everyone’s youth at some point. [...]


Previews, and Star Wars

• Wednesday, May 18th, 2005 • No Comments

I leave in less than half an hour to pick up Greg and head off to see Star Wars: Revenge of the Hopefully Not Shitty Movie. I hope it doesn’t suck. God, how I hope it doesn’t suck.

If you want to see what I’ve been working on all day, you can catch a glimpse here. [...]


Post 300

• Wednesday, May 18th, 2005 • No Comments

This is the three hundredth post, apparently. Be amazed. There are rumors that I’m trying to work on a more attractive version of this site. I will admit that, yes, those rumors are true, but progress is nearly futile and most of the time I’d rather just off myself than have to keep trying to [...]


A Movie List

• Tuesday, May 17th, 2005 • 2 Comments

I’m stealing this from Becky because it’s cool. Movies that I have seen are in bold. Movies that I’ve only sort of kind of seen are in italics. (There shouldn’t be many, if any, italics.) I’m not sure where this list came from, as it’s not exactly like the IMDB Top 250, and Google searches [...]


Good God, College

• Tuesday, May 17th, 2005 • 3 Comments

I registered today for my summer semester of classes at Cerritos. For those interested, I am taking: Art 101 – Art Appreciation & History, Math 40 – Pre-algebra, and Pol 101 – American Political Instisution. Yup, that’s it, a solid ten units. It’s all I could manage to register for on the second day of [...]


The Ghost

• Tuesday, May 17th, 2005 • No Comments

Two nights in a row now, I lay down to go to sleep, and my mind starts racing with attempts to describe the confused way I feel. I shouldn’t get back up at these points, because I know that I’m so tired that the ability to potentially warp what I feel into something that doesn’t [...]
