I can't decide if I'm going to be bored out of my skull today or not. I know; that's a silly question because it's really up to me. It's just that, well, long story short, Troy took off on an impulse trip to Texas because Wes was leaving but he wouldn't leave without his geriatric cat. And in my view, Wes is a walking pestilence who couldn't get ( Read more... )

I'm sick of people. Everyone has needs, but it's always the most obliging person who ends up having to provide for the needs of everyone else. And when I say "most obliging person" I mean me. I think I'd enjoy myself a lot more if I could just live in a dilapidated shanty in the backwoods somewhere, untroubled by matters of conscience and the ( Read more... )

I haven't heard any of my friends mention it yet, but I was wondering if anyone was planning on seeing An Inconvenient Truth. Thus far, the majority of the reviews I've read have been positive. And if there's more to the trailers than sensationalist hype, the film looks to be compelling and informative at the very least. Of course there are the ( Read more... )

Perhaps you've heard of it? So far I've spent the better part of an hour watching people do this, and it's by turns sad and inspirational, like a passion play involving extreme recklessness with automobiles. Here are a few of my favorites:

Low Res Ghost Ride (my fave)

Ghost Ride the Navigator

Take That, Light PoleApparently, it's part of a ( Read more... )

Last night I watched The New World on our brand new TV (yay for credit). I really thought it was amazing, and I gain more and more appreciation for Terence Malick's distinctive style every time I watch one of his films, of which there are way too few. Our TV made the movie look even better, too. But alas I don't have time to really get into this ( Read more... )

I just found out my apartments have a pool. I should go sit in it. That's right, sit.

Mmm...I think I'll go to Jimmy John's first. Foooooood.

When I woke up this morning, I felt motivated to clean out my car. Now, after spending fifteen minutes on hold with Comcast just to pay my bill and ultimately hanging up in frustration, I don't feel like doing jack crap. It's like they make their hold music as annoying as possible just to force people to hang up. Yes, I've never heard Eine ( Read more... )

There's someone I used to know. When I think about that person, I still get this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Just guilt, perhaps, since I seem to regret just about everything I do to some extent. I don't even know why I think about it still; maybe it's just the manifestation of my frustrations with my current life. But the beauty ( Read more... )

God, I can't get this song out of my head and I haven't heard it in, what, ten years at least?

In other news, I'm getting the restoration of my computer wrapped up. I just have to figure out what I want to do about instant messaging. Naturally, at this point I'm extremely wary of bundled software, spyware, viruses, that sort of thing.

Yesterday was my first experience with sailing, or I guess you could say it was my first experience with boats in general. Troy and I went down to Bloomington with his parents, and we sailed all around Lake Monroe on their boat, the Sloop du Jour. I've never before been on any kind of watercraft except for pontoon boats and a couple rides on big- ( Read more... )
