Oh, my sweet stars, "Day After Tomorrow" was tizzight. I saw it right after having finished the book Pompeii, so I was already in the mood to watch cities get destroyed my mother nature, that old hag. But if you have an axe, why don't you just break through the door? (Aside: Pompeii would make one kick ass movie. I mean, just imagine the storms ( Read more... )

Curse you, competitive TV programming! Tonight, the two most diabolically genius shows were airing at the same time: WB Superstar USA and The Swan Pageant. The woman from Sammammash was crowned the swan and the other woman from Washington placed second. To me, this is proof that inside every average-looking Washingtonian is a plastic-surgery ( Read more... )

Today is notable. Today I took four showers. Fort Worth, Texas is like a giant soccer field -Not like a high school soccer field, but an elementary school soccer field- of which man has picked randomly scattered and distant locations as ideal for building strip-malls and chain restaurants. I must admit I was surprised to see how lacking of any ( Read more... )

As of 3pm today, I have officially been on summer and in fifteen hours I will be on a plane to good ol' Tejas. I just finished my last final: horrid, terrible neuroscience. For this test, in particular, it would have had been in my best interest to have studied in mass. Five dollars to whomever can properly parse the verbs and indentify the ( Read more... )

$30!!! HA! Take that, world! That's right; today I picked up my paycheck... errr, I mean gift certificate for my doodles in the Daily Trojan. $30!!! I would have been surprised if they would have given me half that much for my "work". I'm going to go on a shopping spree! I could get a mothers' day gift for my mom and a fathers' day gift for ( Read more... )

My room is now barren and empty... or at least my half. I've spent the last couple days packing everything into boxes and deciding what is necessary and what goes into storage. Pretty much everything I own is once again going into storage, being that I will be living out of my bag this summer, so I had three piles: necessary things for this ( Read more... )

Today was my last special effects class before the final exam. But because last weeks class was cancelled so that we could go to the Ray Harryhausen honorary event, todays class was extended in length: FIVE HOURS. It was exhausting, but probably the best class we've had. Heitor Filho Capuzzo, or special visiting professor from Brazil covered the ( Read more... )

The song "Blue Sky" by E.L.O. makes you want to do something amazing with your life; much like the movie of which it has received recent popularity; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... or maybe I got that all wrong. The movie was all about finding those elements that are already amazing but have been subtlely hidden within... or something. I ( Read more... )

What's better than getting a comic strip published in the DT? Getting TWO comic strips printed in the DT! Such was the case today, and if it wasn't for Zoe telling me about it 20 minutes ago, I would have never known. You see, I only pick up the DT when I'm in it; I prefer my regular current event publications: TIME, Nat'l Geographic, and STUFF ( Read more... )
