One of the two Community Advisors for this floor of my residence hall just informed me that he and I are the only two people who will be living on this floor this year who were born in the 1980s, and we are among only four people who are or will be 21 or older.

I'm going to be surrounded by Freshman, and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed right now ( Read more... )

As part of a very low-key goodbye celebration before I go back to school, my brother and sister-in-law (and her sister and boyfriend) and I went to go see 30 Minutes or Less.  Mostly we wanted to go because we all really love Aziz Ansari, but it's also a perfect movie to serve as my goodbye to Grand Rapids, MI, because it was actually filmed and ( Read more... )

It was recently announced that a new adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand is in the works.  And I'm pretty excited about that, even if I'm pretty sure it's going to fall apart just like the Dark Tower adaptation did (because Universal apparently failed to realize how expensive it was going to be).

My feelings toward the original miniseries ( Read more... )

Why are there so many assholes watching Breaking Bad?  I guess, judging by the number of complaints both now and at this time last season about how slow everything is going, and how the show is choosing to focus on plotlines of no interest to the audience--because of course we all just want to see Walt (and maybe Jesse) cooking and being all badass ( Read more... )

( And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share. )

( Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. )

I still have a paper to turn in on Thursday, but it's already written and printed.  Other than that, though, my semester is over.  I took my poetry exam tonight, and I think I did okay, depending on whether the professor decides it was okay for me to interpret "use four poets" as "use at least four poets," because if not I'm going to get hit for ( Read more... )

So, my mom called me tonight to tell me that she volunteered me to help with the efforts to recall Gov. Rick Snyder.  Which is cool.  I mean, I was looking forward to having my summer off other than writing fanfic and cleaning my brother's house, but it'll be nice to have something more constructive to do, and it's great that my mom is getting ( Read more... )
