I have never procastinated this hard before in my life. I have to finish reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight at least one act of Othello and an article for Mass Comm Theory. And so far today I've managed to watch Oprah and The People Vs. Larry Flynt (Courtney Love is dazzling), watched a Mitch Hedberg special, researched Naked Lunch for no ( Read more... )

Bad mood. I think my hormones are out of control or something. I'm just feeling weird. I feel sort of helpless right now. The next two weeks are going to be hell. Let's see what's coming up ( Read more... )

I've decided to compile a list of my political ideals, in order of most importance:
1. Reproductive rights
2. Education reform
3. Legalization of marijuana and possibly other drugs
4. Environmental causes
5. Separation of church and state
6. Rights of the mentally ill

I think that's pretty much it.

So. I crossed some things off my list of things to do before I die ( Read more... )

Most days I have a good idea about what I generally want to do with my future. Lately though, that idea has changed. I really want to open a bookstore. No, just any old bookstore. It will be used and new and it'll be in the innercity, and not only will I promote local business, but I will also promote literacy. I'm really considering this as a ( Read more... )

Sometimes I am shocked at the fact that I have emotions. Mostly because they're so damn bizarre. Today, while driving back from Madison, I saw a BMW (and I usually can never tell the brand of a car). Then, I really liked it. Like I thought it was gorgeous and really really wanted one. I never care about cars. I mean, I love my car, we've been ( Read more... )

Most of my body aches very much right now. I went to the gym four times this week and I've fallen in love with raquetball. But mostly I feel sore because I'm an idiot. Thursday, when I came into my room after my first class, I stepped on my razor, which was on the floor. I was wearing my tennis shoes and so the top came off. Then instead of picking ( Read more... )

Politically, I feel like I'm going downhill in my views. I am becoming more conservative by the day. Which this wouldn't be a problem, if my parents weren't devoted Democrats and hadn't instilled in me the desire to always lean to the left. But now I'm not. I mean, socially I'll probably always be democratic in my views, but economically I am a ( Read more... )

So I've always thought that the whole mystery of the Black Dahlia was really cool. I've read about it, seen documentaries about it and everything. And now there's a new movie about it, which could potentially be very good. It has that whole film noir vibe to it, which I love. It's about old Hollywood, which I love. But I didn't want to see it, I ( Read more... )

You know, no matter how hard I try, I just don't like the song "Chicago" by Sufjan Stevens. It's like everyone's favorite song, but I don't really like it ( Read more... )
