Eeeewww, Ben Affleck spooge! (no seriously, that's just nasty)
Finally got to visit Karl at Mudd with Mike, Liz, and Kristal, and now I'm home. My feet are killing me, I'm tired, and now I'm apparently a liar. Hehe sorry bout that Liz. But yeah, I'm in that state of complete exhaustion where you have no energy left but you're not sleepy. This really can't be healthy...
Y'know, I've been thinking. The human body is such a fragile thing. Fall over and it hurts. Hit your head while doing it and you could get knocked out. Fall 13 feet from a balcony and you'll apparently break your ankles. And this is Earth's gravity well we're talking about, which is a relatively miniscule blip in the space-time continuum of the universe...
And apparently it only takes 10 pounds of pressure to pop off a kneecap.
Anyways, I think exhaustion has finally caught up with me and I'ma go hit the sack. Good night you fragile little sacs of protoplasm.

It wasn't my fault this time... at least, not entirely
*sigh*
You ever have one of those days where you just wanna blow up the sun for deliberately causing you to get into an accident the very next day after having one? I mean, so what if all life as we know it dies out; as long as you can spend that last day knowing you had your revenge. Well I'm having one of those days right now. Ugh...
At least I'll be let off a bit easier because this time the sun was in my goddamn eyes blinding me as I turned the corner and rendering me incapable of seeing the Honda Civic that had stopped ahead of me... the Honda Civic that got a little scratch while my Sentra's front bumper was crushed like a tin can. ARGH... but what can you expect; my front bumper was composed of plastic and styrofoam and Mike won't stop laughing at me about that. Anyways I'ma gonna stop taking the Old Road to school in the mornings.

Mike says I should kill God. Can't kill Jesus though... they already did that and it didn't work. Goddammit.

stupid! stupid! stupid! *bangs head against desk*
I should really start checking my rearview mirror more often. *sigh*
...
In other news, I got a 94% on my stats midterm, so I guess I'm sorta happy about that.

ow... ow.... ow...
I am in so much pain right now... argh. In Aikido today, we were practicing how to roll out of being trapped in a certain type of wrist lock, and I rolled a bit too far to the left and straight on my head. My neck just kinda... popped. And it hurts like a bitch right now.
I'm just glad I won't have that class again until Monday; gives me some time to heal. Anyways, I have a midterm tomorrow in Geography so I'd better go study...

If there's one thing about college that I hate, it's that I have to buy my own scantrons. WTF is up with that...

Nothing interesting happened to me today...
...so this entry will not be very interesting.
Um... so uh....

Had a statistics midterm today. Wasn't fun, but wasn't too hard. I went in without a 2-variable statistical calculator, so that wasn't very smart, but I worked around it. Umm...
Matrix Reloaded came out on DVD today, so I went and got it and just finished watching it. Best Buy still hasn't restocked Kill Bill soundtracks; it's only been a day since I last checked but I'm impatient. Now I'm doing homework.
Peace.

Two typos and some Spanish... wow
I took a nap today somewhere around 2:30ish, as I had had little sleep the night before for reasons unknown. It was a nice little nap...
...and then somewhere around 5:00 I opened my eyes to see Mike Lund standing at my bedside. Yes, you heard me. Mike. I wake up in my own room in my own house and the first thing I see is Mike. So the first thing I wonder is what the hell he's doing here. He asks me if I'd like to go accompany him to go check out the picket line at Albertsons. I then wonder how the hell he got into my house. He tells me my dad let him in. Moving on...

So Mike and I went to Albertsons and we saw Brett Walter there on strike with some other people, so we kinda chilled there for a little while and took a flyer. Then we went by Vons on Bouquet to see how their protest was going. Fewer people there, but we ran into Ryan Culhane. Then we took one of their flyers, which was different. Then we moseyed over to Pavilions, at which there were a disappointingly fewer number of protestors, and plus they were leaving one of the store entrances wide open. Not too smart. Anyways, we took one of their flyers and moved onto Ralphs (we stopped by Best Buy on the way because I wanted to pick up the Kill Bill Volume 1 soundtrack, but they were all out. Damn.). Now, as we walked up to Ralphs, some guy handed us a flyer and suggested alternative stores we could go to (at most of these places, they were suggesting Trader Joes, but that's not a union store, so like... I dunno if they can do that. Anyways...) He asked us what we had come to buy, but we explained that we had only come for the flyer, which he thought was cool cuz we were only "supporting their cause" I guess. So then as we leave, he hands us a different flyer "with more information," as he said with his own words. Well... it was the same flyer, only this new one had two typos and a Spanish translation on the back. Pfft. "More information" my ass. So yeah, ok, that's it, I'm done.

"He says to do it with more intensity."
Ack... I'm tired again. Why can't sleep just be like a food you can snack at any convenient time instead of this giant chunk out of your day that can be better spent on more important things like not sleeping and doing nothing? Ugh... anyways...

I spent Saturday in Irvine as I drove Tim back to school. It was fun; the campus is really awesome. I got to see Rem again, and I haven't seen him in like... a year or so. Anyways, we went and saw Lost in Translation at the local theater, which I kinda dragged Tim (and later Rem) to see with me because I had really wanted to see it for a long time but those dickless pricks who run the theaters at SCV decided to stop playing it after like... a week. Anyways, fortunately I think they enjoyed it, as did I. I really liked the story, and it had some really touching moments, as well as some hilarious. Hehe... short Japanese businessmen in an elevator. I'm glad I'm not short and Asian. Well, er, not like... ah nm...
Then we did some other stuff while we were there, like cover me in shaving cream. Yeah. Go read Tim's blog; it's all there. lol
Long drive home alone in the middle of the night following some crappy directions by Rem while listening to a Robin Williams standup session was interesting. Got home at 1:30 AM-ish. Hehe... AM-ish. Amish. Hehe. I said Amish.

Just saw Kill Bill: Volume 1, and...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ok I'm done.

Where shall I begin...

Hey, it wasn't a linear storyline! It was essentially the Pulp plot juggle that made Tarantino such a huge Hollywood name, which kinda surprised me, considering that I thought Tarantino was going to abandon that whole concept. But wow... this is the Pulp Fiction 2 we've all been waiting for. :)
I saw it at 11:30 AM (first showing in SCV... there was no midnight showing, and had I realized that earlier I would have started a petition or gone on strike or done something that involved flipping out and killing people for not being able to watch this movie for another half of a day but oh well... *sigh*) Anyways, I saw it with Tim and only with Tim although the originally intended number of people going was five. But I'ma watch it again anyways so no biggie...
I'm not jumping for joy and being super ultra giddy like I always am after watching a tiiiiiiiiite-ass movie, and don't get me wrong, the movie was phenomenal, but... just like after I had first watched Pulp Fiction, I was more horrified and disturbed than I was awestruck. Just like Pulp did only to a far greater extent, KB:V1 had some seriously sick and twisted shit. O-Ren's childhood scenes, Vernita's little daughter, and I can't forget the hospital scene... ugh. Just wrong. But that's just how his movies are, and I love 'em how they are. Aside from that, it had some pretty funny parts, and awesome fight sequences. I'm still shell-shocked by the sheer amount of blood in the House of Blue Leaves sequence.
All in all, great homage to the kung-fu genre and it was quite the experience. But Volume 1 itself lacked cohesion. Pulp's plot was out of order for a purpose. Volume 1 was out of order for seemingly no reason. But perhaps Volume 2 will provide a reason; there are a plethora of unanswered mysteries too. Goddammit, Feb. 20th is like... forever... from now... ARGH. Ok that's enough out of me. I'm done being a movie critic.
In any case, it was nice to see the Revolutions trailer on the big screen. :)

As today is Arnold's first full day as governor-elect, I'ma talk about him.
CSUN's Daily Sundial student newspaper asked random students if they were happy with the results of the recall election and printed a few responses in today's issue. Highlights, with identities anonymous:

"Yes. I personally wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to win because I'm not necessarily a Republican or a Democrat but I'm more Republican. Plus I think it's interesting because it's cool to say that since he is a famous actor that he's our governor."

"Well, I think it's going to be interesting because he's not a politician. It's going to be interesting to see a celebrity try to run a state facing financial challenges."

"Yes. You know how good Commando was? It was sweet! My favorite movie of all time is Commando. Schwarzenegger rules!"

*sigh*... Before I blitzkrieg into a state of utter insanity, let me just say that I don't have much against Arnold himself; and in fact, I agree with many of his opinions, few as they are. It's the reasons why some of his supporters voted for him that makes me wanna shove forks in my face and scream.

first entry
Lo and behold, my first entry. Woot. Ok I have two essays to write tonight and a math midterm to study for, so I'm gonna keep my first entry short for my own sake. So I'ma go get to work now... Ugh, whoever decided that learning at school should be extended towards home life should be dragged out into the street and shot if not already dead. Hehe... Ok byes :)
