okay, so i never got around to giving a favorite moments of whatever the hell i said. i got around to thinking about it and how dumb an idea it was. or maybe i’m just lazy.

but no! i’m not lazy, as i have worked a lot in the past week, and wrote a paper last night which came to its culmination during the wee hours of this morning. at around 4 i finally put myself (and my paper) to rest. i started out thinking that the paper was pretty good, but lost that illusion later in the evening.

tonight, my only day off of the week, is time to relax.

oh, and thps3 is great, aside from all the whining sissies online that can’t take the heat and ban you from their games, because they think you’re cheating (boo cheaters!). that is the nerdiest part of a post i’ve contributed in a long time. i think.

i’m still having the damndest time replying to emails. boo me.

i just realized that when i was working at amazon, harry potter was the scourge that wore away at my nerves. now that i’m at the theater, it’s following me. this weekend is going to be insane.

i never wanna say my best days are behind me. i never wanna be lukewarm.

oh yes, happy berfday dear blog. it’s been quite a year, hasn’t it? perhaps later i’ll give a (overly egotistical and self-referential) favorite moments of blogdom, in hoping there will be more to come.

friday night, we all saw better off dead at the midnight showing at the egyptian. i love that movie. Now that’s a real shame when folks be throwin’ away a perfectly good white boy like that.

today, it’s off to play tony hawk pro skater 3 at jason’s, in hopes to satiate that desire.

just watched traffic. steven soderbergh never fails to amaze me. taking on the cinematography duties was quite a step - the cinematography wasn’t top notch, but it was distinct, which makes it better than the cinematography in more than half the films out there.

and it wasn’t just the clever (and blatantly simplistic) use of filters over the settings, or the constant use of handheld cameras, or the effective use of linear cuts (like at the beginning, where it looked like a documentary).

wait. that’s not true. it was just that stuff. yup. i do, however, hate catherine zeta-jones.

i just made a fool out of myself during a presentation today. i wasn’t prepared, and you’d think since you were an undergraduate in a graduate class, you’d work a little harder on your presentation so that people wouldn’t think you were stupid, but i didn’t think that way. incidentally, i didn’t think at all. but maybe, since i am an undergraduate, people wouldn’t think anything of it. sadly, that’s probably the truth.

did you see buffy last night? that was ridiculous(ly funny)! also, here’s to hoping smallville will come up with a new formula sometime. i mean, formulas are good, but they’re mostly kitsch. for example.

as you can tell, i’ve been watching a lot of upn lately. it’s not so bad, really, it’s just the midday grind that sucks the life out of me - nothing on but court tv shows, jerry springer-esque shite, and soapy operas. i was reading a copy of cinescape yesterday, which came in the mail addressed to the people that used to live at my house and i decided that not only do i need to watch more tv, i also need to read more comic books. exciting stuff going on in comic land soon: revealing the origin of wolverine, the return of the dark night, and movie development for the daredevil and the incredible hulk (although the star for daredevil is a bit questionable - vin diesel?! i mean, pitch black was great, but the fast and the furious?).

oh yes, and for those that are concerned, i won’t be dropped out of school this quarter because of lack of funds, which puts me on he right track towards graduation.

hope you’re all having a good day (unless you’re mean and i hate you, in which case, i hope you get hit by a truck).

got some movies from netflix.com, but haven’t watched them yet. just figured out that their 2 week trial period is a scam, because it takes them a week to get the movies to you. still, it’s 3 free movie rentals. alphaville, kikujiro, and traffic. i’ve seen kikujiro, but not the other two films. now the only thing i need to do is find the time to watch them.

i also saw battle royale a while ago, which was absolutely insane. it didn’t help that i had too much pizza to eat and 2 minutes before the film was over, had to rush to the bathroom and throw up because my stomach hurt so bad. unbelievable, nonetheless. (unbelievable, however, in that way of astonishment, the film wasn’t terribly profound but it was fun to watch in awe - see it, and you’ll understand why).

i was thinking today how much damned time i spend on the internet (although you people out there wouldn’t really notice, since i hardly post here as often as i’d like) and how much time i spend not doing the things i intend to do (i.e., nihongo benkyosuru tsumori des, kedo kawari ni benkyosuru, boku wa eiga miru to internet asobiru) and thought that i might as well have cable and tivo and whatnot, since i’m not doing what i’m supposed to be doing, and it’s unfair for the internet to monopolize all my free time. dammit, there’s adult swim and dexter’s lab to be watched!

i’ve been spending the last few days trying to construct a page in css, with not much luck. also, i’ve been (re)discovering the wonders of bearshare (with just as little luck, as far as good music is concerned).

i worked tonight at the metro, and it was hellish. pushing popcorn to eager movie goers trying to push past the line so they can get good seats to monsters inc. i saw it on thursday night during a screening, and it creeped into the wee hours of the morning. i woke up early today to go take a japanese test, sleep lazing in my eyes, and couldn’t remember half of what i had learned the night before (again, at work, studying). but apparently i can’t emphasize enough (or i tend to emphasize too much) that japanese isn’t my strong suit.

so things are getting busier than i had ever imagined they would right about now. there’s a million things i want to get done, but very little that i actually do.

it’s always been that way, hasn’t it?
