Tuesday. Star Wars comes out today on DVD. Apparently it's the damnable Special Edition from 1997 with some new crap thrown on top. I wonder if it's actually worth getting...I mean, on the one hand it is one of my all-time favourite movie series, but then it's also got a bunch of unnecessary changes and some quick fixes on some unnecessary ( Read more... )

Gotta love a final exam that involves watching The Emperor's New Groove and analysing it for story structure. Yeah, took my Scripting final exam today, and I think I did pretty well. Now I just have the final project to get through with, which is due Monday (script the first three scenes of an alternate retelling of Little Red Riding Hood I ( Read more... )

Procrastination and Typography don't mix. Ah well, if I bomb this one project I still have A's in every single assignment prior to it, so I guess slipping a bit won't kill me (fuck, I forgot to turn in my Illustrator final last quarter and STILL got an A ( Read more... )

Went out to Mall of Georgia with Ashley yesterday. Since I really should be in bed right now (damn you, insomnia), I'll spare the details for now and just say it was a very fun and interesting time. Would've done it again today, but I had some damn assignments to do for class Monday ( Read more... )

Today was fun. Went to the Mall of Georgia with Lauren & Jeremy and hung out for most of the afternoon. Went "grazing" through the free food samples (two Asian joints and an Orange Julius all right next to each other...awesome) before going up to the theatre to see The Village (more on that in a bit). After the movie, we pretty much just ( Read more... )

You know those Jesus Fish that people tack on to the back of their cars? You know how someone made a legged "Darwin Fish," and then someone after that made a bigger Jesus fish eating the Darwin Fish? I find it amusing how the fact that the Jesus Fish evolved in order to devour the Darwin Fish sort of proves the Darwin Fish's point ( Read more... )

The Fourth was a lot of fun. I went over to a party at Dan's house and hung out. Shot off a shitload of fireworks (mortars, bottle rockets, cherry bombs, the works), got into a bit of competition with some of the neighbours across the lake (we ran out of stuff quicker, but we were also firing it faster and had bigger, flashier explosives...so ( Read more... )

Shigure Sohma is my role model. You heard me ( Read more... )

Political discussion is dead. Dead dead dead as a doornail. Sensitivity killed it...in the conservatory with the candlestick. I tried to initiate a discussion with somebody over Michael Moore the other day...they had just seen Fahrenheit 9/11 and were going off on how godly Moore was or whatever. Soooo I try to play Devil's Advocate and provide ( Read more... )

So, I wake up today, I get a shower, get on the computer, and get online...and I notice an ant crawling across my keyboard. I kill it, and I notice two more. And one crawling across my desk. And gradually more & more begin to appear until there's a small trail leading along the edge of my desk to my keyboard. Fucking ants are trying to hide out ( Read more... )
