New Plan

Current Tunes: Isis - Hand of the Host (Can't stop listening to this album!!)

So last day of class for the Spring ’09 quarter. Sitting up here at the school, making final polishes on my paper for class and I’m posting to take a break from looking at this paper I’ve been sweating over for the past week or so.

My reward for all this toil (well, besides the reward of education and self-improvement)? Isis tomorrow. A few message boards were throwing around words & phrases like “dull,” “boring,” and “I wish I had brought a blanket and pillow” to describe their set on previous stops on their tour, so I’m a bit dismayed. I mean, I know they’re not KISS or anything, but come on! It’s Isis!

Anyway, I made preemptive plans to visit the beach in the last week of June with the birth mother. Burnicus Maximus perhaps accompanying. Planned activities for beach-time-fun are as follows:

- Read a book (top candidates are “Atlas Shrugged” & “Fargo Rock City”)
- Get some found poems written from previously acquired notes
- Drink alcohol in a dirty, run-down, shack-like bar with view of the beach
- Osmosisize some Vitamin D from the sun
- Being not stressed out

I have as well been informed of my nomination, and likely confirmation, as First Mate of Captain Burnicus’s new pirating crew residing within the governmental entity of Georgia. A trip to the ocean would function primarily as research for my pending position with this organization. I must indeed prepare a potential manifest of crew members/lackeys/gophers.

Also, a notice for the Alabama community: I will be visiting your great and glorious (ha) land in the approaching weeks for a somewhat extended period of time. Prepare for my arrival.

Detached Distraction

Current Tunes: Mastodon - Oblivion

Just two more days of class and another quarter in the books. I need this week to be over, soon. I want to move on to the summer. I want to move onto making my thesis come alive. I want to dive into the internship. Oh, data entry. Never thought I’d be excited about data entry, but I am.

I’m so ready to move on that I’ve been procrastinating my final assignment for class to the absolute extreme. I don’t give a flip about it; I just want this quarter to go ahead and get out of my life. It’s time to move on. It’s not that much work though; I just need to do it, get the grade, and let it go from there. Just finish out, not much farther to go now.

There are other peripherals that are competing for my interests. Namely, Isis on Thursday, graduation for J&A on Saturday, also Testament on Saturday. Couple of weeks and there’ll be a big LAN party. That’s a big event. Don’t even know if I’ll really be gaming that weekend, but it’ll still serve as a fantastic party, hang out with great friends.

I need to stop making very stupid decisions. That should be a priority. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone other there that makes the correct decision 100% of the time? If so I really need to talk to you.

You know, I thought this would be a good summer for movies but right now I’m really underwhelmed. I can count movies this summer I have interest in on one hand: "Transformers 2," "G.I. Joe," "Inglorious Basterds," "Public Enemies," "District 9," & "Moon." OK, well that’s actually six films, so just barely two hands. I kinda want to take "G.I. Joe" off the list actually; with all the evidence present currently, it will probably be horrendous. But still, ninja fights & the possibility of Cobra Commander side-gags cannot be dismissed.

American film making is not holding my interest right now, I'm sorry to say. Just general popular film making in general isn't holding my interest. Last year's "blockbusters" really only had two homeruns with me: "Quantum of Solace" and "The Dark Knight," and "QoS" I only saw on dvd, in the past couple of months. I'm going to start consistently investing my movie-ticket-money in films @ the art house, I hope. There's so much more potential, so much more value in the films I see at places like that.

Anyway, know what time it is? It's time to be responsible.
