I found out I got into the teaching program today. It's such a weird feeling. I'm elated, but at the same time, I'm apprehensive. Within 6-8 months, I'll be starting my teaching career and I'll only be 23, that's so bizarre to me. I'm excited because this is all a culmination of everything I've worked my ass off to achieve, but at the same time ( Read more... )

In a way, I'm glad the Astros are out of it so I can stop being so fucking stressed out all the time. However, in a billion other ways, I'm sad it's over. The Astros are now and forever will be my favorite sports team and it may seem foolish to some of you that I would let a game upset me so much. I don't think it's crazy and if you feel the ( Read more... )

So a couple of weeks ago, I, like many others, went out and bought the holy trilogy. In whatever spare time I've been able to muster, I've managed to watch all three and it's great stuff. I still insist that Chewie should have garnered his own spinoff TV show, but that's neither here nor there. As I was watching Jedi and giggling to myself at ( Read more... )

Ok yeah. The new Green Day album is a freaking masterpiece. It comes out Sep. 21, but thanks to the lovely cats at greendayauthority.com, us superfans have a chance to hear it ahead of time and my god...this may very well be their best album. I'm trying to monitor my enthusiasm and keep myself in check b/c this could just be my enthusiasm ( Read more... )

The Station Agent is such a wonderful film. Sometimes I feel like it encompasses everything I feel and articulates everything I want. Weird.

It's August 1st and you all know what that means...time to post a really long entry and fuck up all your "Friends" pages by not LJ-cutting it!! Yayyyyy ( Read more... )

It's never too late for a top ten films of 2003 list!!

10) Gerry - Dialogue is overrated anyway. Apparently, Gus Van Sant is making a trilogy of films with themes of: Nature destroying Man, Man destroying Man, and Man destroying Himself. Gerry is the first in this trilogy (followed by Elephant and an upcoming film) and while I can't say it's an ( Read more... )

So the other night I am at Danny's and I'm a tad inebriated. I'm standing over the toilet attempting to maintain my balance as well as make sure it all lands where it's supposed to (piss, not vomit). Anyway, as I'm trying my best to multitask, I thought of when we first started going to Danny's and how much fun it was. That was back when Aaron ( Read more... )

I'm at work right now and it is so fucking hot. Our building is run by a couple of mutant dumbshits from hell and have no idea how to keep their tenants happy. It's like alright guys, I know we're not as important as the SkyBar or the AA meetings, but we do operate 24 hours and we run your phones, you do not wanna fuck with us!! I'm sitting here ( Read more... )

I just got back from Jason and Rainie's where we watched American Wedding and although it wasn't as torturous as its predecessors, it still managed to piss me off. At least this time, it's not necessarily b/c it wasn't funny (it actually had its moments), but b/c it put forth a concept that just pisses me off in general. What is with this ( Read more... )
