I'm so warm I'm almost perspiring, a first for me since this weather has turned cold. Had a dream that spanned a few scenarios and featured people I know - The setting was the UCO gym, where Ronnie and I used to go work out, showing our 3-year old UCO ID's from our first semester to get past the check-in area. I was walking around the upstairs ( Read more... )

When I returned home from seeing Seed of Chucky with Misty (which was too lame to even comment on), I received numerous voice mails from Russ telling me about his birthday party. It was about midnight and I thought why not, so I tanked up my car and went to Oklahoma City. I spent a couple of hours there mingling with people I knew, people I didn't ( Read more... )

As one of President Bush's most outspoken opponents, Bill Maher had to have been pretty let down by the conclusion of this election. On the up side, his post election show tonight was intense beyond belief. First, he brought in a conservative senator via satellite, who tried to jump Bill's case for making fun of the religious right. He articulated ( Read more... )

Last night, I caught the sneak preview of Team America: World Police, which was even better than I was expecting. Its funny, inspired, colorful and an overall amazing technological achievement. Whether one thinks the idea of mocking the war on terror is funny or not, everyone should agree that the films of Jerry Bruckenheimer are excessively over- ( Read more... )

I'm convinced that I must be running from something in life. For the second time in a row, I experienced a fairly detailed dream where I was in danger. Now its slipping fast ( Read more... )

Just awoke from another bad dream. It was pretty cinematic, but I wasn't watching it play out from the audience's perspective. It was a fully interactive, first person experience. Misty and I were on a really long bus and the driver wound up being some sort of terrorist and his intention was to crash the bus, killing everyone on it and I guess ( Read more... )

After the 4 1/2 hours spent in my Hispanic Cinema class last night, I was exhausted and pretty inarticulate. So when this eccentric blonde girl, who I have a small crush on, struck up a brief conversation about the frequency of brutal rape sequences in these films we watch, I couldn't really turn the dialog into anything special. I didn't even get ( Read more... )

I was reading magazines, drinking an "iced coffee dream" at Hastings when I got a call from Shelly. This guy she's dating stood her up. They were supposed to have dinner together and then watch Kill Bill Vol. 2, but since he blew her off, she was looking for something else to do. So she drove down to Norman. We had dinner at this cheap, somewhat ( Read more... )

Hispanic Cinema class was released early tonight because the region 2 DVD we were supposed to watch would not work in the classroom DVD player. Our instructer tried to find us another room, but fortunately that didn't happen. Its a nice night, so I haven't taken off just yet. I walked to the student union and bought some curly fries. Now I'm in the ( Read more... )

Dad's in town for the weekend to visit his parents. After they went to bed last night, he drove to Norman and spent the evening here. Visits with my Dad are always pleasant, but since I rarely see him, there is usually an awkward formality to it all. Last night went better than expected. Misty cooked vegetarian "pigs in a blanket" (crescent rolls ( Read more... )
