Summer proceeds, though in smaller chunks than desired. Working five days a week is a bummer, especially when those five days include Friday night, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. Nevertheless, being trapped inside for five days of the week makes me appreciate all the more those few days off, and soon after waking [...]
As all good weekends do, this one began on Thursday night. But, unfortunately, Thursday night was not a fun night. I pulled an (almost, but not really) all-nighter to finish my History paper. I completed it at around 5:30, slept for 4.5 hours, and then woke up for… Friday! After Latin, I made some macaroni [...]
Nothing of great interest has happened since I got home at around 10 o’clock on Tuesday night. Today I woke up late, went to the dentist, ran some errands, and lounged around the house doing nothing in particular. I was doing my laundry throughout the night last night—I had about three weeks’ worth of it, [...]

I just tried to watch Superbad but found that I couldn’t. Terrible movie, up there with Napoleon Dynamite. Actually, the two are similar in that they’re both about the socially-inept, loser-kinda high school kid. I hate those movies. Hate them! And I also hate movies that think a good storyline and interesting dialogue can be [...]
The Starting Line has a song called “Island (Float Away)” which is just fantastic. It may have resurrected my emo stage, which was just about near a close. AOL Radio, look at what you’ve done! I bought the rest of the Mika album Life in Cartoon Motion. Previously, I had only purchased “Grace Kelly” and [...]
The combination of cable TV and my nocturnal habits is a recipe for disaster. TNT has just shown three episodes of The X-Files in a row. It is at once entirely satisfying and entirely inconvenient for its timing. Either way, yesterday was a mildly productive day. I woke up late, started cleaning my room, and [...]

So I sent my computer away to Apple Land for a new optical drive. I got one, it seems to work much better, I am happy. However, when I got my computer back, I found on the desktop two screencaps (or “VLC snaps”) from the opening credits of Pirates. Whaaaa? I find this hilarious. This [...]

Almost everything about today was accompanied by an air of sadness. I first woke up at 11 AM to a dark and grey room. Now, OK, my walls are dark grey, but I’m not talking purely about a color here. There was no sunlight to speak of; only the kind of faint smoky glow that [...]
I have a lot more respect for Robin Williams after watching Good Will Hunting tonight: Cuz you’ll have bad times, but they’ll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren’t paying attention to. Good God, I would love to experience love again. The kind of love that Williams talks about in the movie. [...]

I just finished watching Rushmore, and it was amazing. I love Wes Anderson movies. They have so much heart–I mean, they’re completely ridiculous, but the characters take themselves so seriously. They make me feel wonderful. Now I really want to see Life Aquatic again. *sigh* Why isn’t it on the network? I’m knitting a sock. [...]
