Playing

I'm kind of just playing around with the blogger gadget I have on my desktop. Things are pretty shiney around here.

A wee bit of an update. I'm moving from Powatan into Jon and Josh's place on 49th and Killam. Moving everything has been a bitch. Seriously. I'm tied of it. I'm also getting down to the last bits of everything. It's garbage and the kitchen relly left. With any luck I can be finishd on Friday.

Field botany has been going alright. //my recognition is terrible, but my paper should make up for it.

I have a new computer and i'm still getting used to typing on it. It'll take some time, but I'll get up to speed and what not soon enough. I'll be making fewer typos then too.

/i have a sweet place to move into for the school year too. So that's ll set up, I just need a job now...fucking jobs. I'm thinking about trying a temp agency. it'll be something. also got the idea from re-watching Dead Like Me. I love that show too fucking much.

Man, I want to stay up later, but /i need to be up early for my class in the morning. it's my usual complaint...but early to bed and early to rise is shit. But, tomorrow I do get to see Paul for the first time since going out to see Sar Trek. I'm totally asking for a hug. I wonder how long we'll be able to hang out together... I also wish I knew the state of what we are. I'm thinking a couple, but I don't know about him.

Holidays Love Misery

Hello all! Here's another installment of my observations f the world around me and my questioning the motivations for what I see. I consider this to be a 'proper' journal for my to be writing because my day to day life isn't interesting enough for me to want to write about anyway. Hell, I think my last journal was on how nothnig was going on, but I was vaguely compelled to write anyway.

But first! A quick flash back to something I think I wrote back around Easter: [blank] I have no idea where that rant went...I remember writing somewhere about how I had no use for holiday's. I could have sword it was written on/around Easter, but I can't find anything about it. It may have been written in February about the lack there of of press for Black History Month.

I totally forgot my point after reading my first 6 journals here. They were terrible, no description of anything. I was keeping secrets from myself at times, and now, I post waaaay too much information. Cheers!

So, onto holidays. It might just be me, but it seems like the world over, retail over, people don't seem to be taking as much of a vested intereste din selling a holiday anymore. Not so much as when I was a kid. I'm not complaing so much as commentating. It's just that I walk into a Wal-Greens and there's barely anything they're trying to pimp for Mother's Day. What little television I've watched recently there've been very few commercials for this day either. It's almost as if the world doesn't care about holidays too much anymore. Well, some of them. I was in the mall, true, I was only up by the movie theater, but still, not much trying to pimp last minute gifts, which is what any mall is all about. I know times have changed, but...

On love.
This was originally going to be about holiday's and misery, but after I wrote that title, I knew I could write this and it would work out awesomely. Plus, that title wins.

Last night I went out on a date with Paul. I guess it was supposed to be a date, neither of us said that, and I've never been on a date, but I think that's what it all wrapped up to be. We went out and saw the new Star Trek movie, and I've never been a Trek fan, but this movie was pretty entertaining. I'd almost be interested in watching the show. If nothing else, I'll check out some of the other ST flicks, and maybe some of the future ones. I wasn't too into it until Kirk got into space. Too amused by the fact that he got his ass kicked thrice in the movie. Sometimes it's the little things that make me laugh, but it was one gorgeous piece of celluloid. I'll tell you what.

Ahem, the date. He paid for the movie, for the snacks and picked me up for it. We chatted prior to and after the movie. Still awkward saying goodbye, and he said he'd call today, which means tomorrow if I'm lucky, haha. Chances are we'll chat soon enough, and do something else together. Still, it makes me happy to think about him. Also, it's sad that this amuses me as much as it does, but after he commented on how scarcastic I am, I stopped being as scarcastic to him, but last night I had to! For Monsters vs Aliens there are these bins to collect the 3-D glasses after the movie. It says it alll around the box like, twenty times. He has to look inside the box. I had to laugh with him about it. it wasn't mean spirited, but it was funny. The box said that's where the glasses went, but he had to open it. My type of person, looking anyway. I didn't expect it to be full, but I also wasn't compelled to look. It was fun. Truely.

Now onto the misery =D

The following comments, long sentences, if you will, are partially to blame for this rant being ranted here, but c'est la vie :/

-The MB is such a cunt. I woke up and walked around the kitchen, there was a damp dirty sock on the towel where i dry my dishes. Why? Idk!!

-We're also the only people in the apt, and there were plenty of other counter space for her disgusting unsanitary sock. Fucking cunt.

-Why would misery want the company of one they disliked. MB might have to stand for miserable bitch, because she's that, and seems to cont.

-Want to bring me down to her unhappy level too. I've bothered nothing of hers, but she has this compulsion to mess with my possessions. Sad.

Those four tweets , and actually that final one, made her actions make sense to me. She's miserable, and I'm not. So fucking what i took back my own paper towels. Go buy your own. I don't have to share anything of mine with you. I haven't touched a damn thing of hers for personal gain other than moving it out of my way so I could go about my business. Time and time again I've seen my food go missing, an abnormal amount of my cleaning supplies gone and used, and my things moved. It's sad that it took me all year to realize she's just a miserable cunt whose bothered by my happiness. Anytime I'm happy she goes out of her way to make me unhappy. Hell, she usually looks haggered and unhappy when I see her, no matter what she's doing. I know I've walked past her and I looked happy. Not trying to look happy, but I was in a much better mood than she is.

My opinion is she's also a miserable little frig because she left her home the day before Mother's Day, when her mother is alive and I assume well. People with mother's take them for granted. I don't understand why she's not home expressing her love for her mother. I'm going to be out in Wisconsin for Father's Day, I loath my father, but I can be civil enough to call him while I'm there. Maybe I'll draw him a picture. That's not a terrible idea. But back to the Miserable Cunt or Midget Bitch because she's both. I've wasted more time this year dealing with my issues with her but it's only right that I finish it up. She's just in unhappy soul, it's almost as if she doesn't know how to be happy and I think my relaxed or passe or cheerful demeanor frighten her, so she retaliates with hatred. I'm also in a much happier place so I can see this. I will hold it against her because I've done nothing to her, and I will keep my things to myself because I don't need her contempt making me unhappy. Happiness is a wonderful weapon sometimes.

First 100 Movies

Just collected my first 100 movies for 2009

I know I've touched on my love of movies before but here I go again.

I recently procured Frank Miller's Sin City to watch again after having not seen it since this summer and it has of course reignited my love of Frank Miller. With me, of course I had to get the special edition, and have now purchased the soundtrack and a 'making of' type of book.

I have my love affair of escapism and Sin City was Miller's way to do that. "Sin City was meant to never be a movie." Robert Rodriguez.

God, the movie is distracting me from my rant, but I love movies and will continue with this sordid affair.

A tick, a starting tick. Every movie I've seen this year:

1) Nurse Betty
2) Sin City

This list will continue on and off line. T.V. or in the theater, but it has to be the entire movie. Dec 31, 2009 I'll compile the entire list. Hundreds of movies, and hopefully all in order day to day.
