cnn pr0n. click.

Mr. Republican Committee Chairman Tom Davis of Virginia...you are an idiot.

and hundreds and hundreds of britney spears pr0n? it might take them just as long for them to figure out that most of it isn't real.

i'll await the cnn.com newsflash in about 5 years or so.

call me up then.

i'm restarting a quote trivia in my AIM profile.

free for all, from ANY source- music, tv, movies

good luck!

i got a new pocketbook type of sketch book...

i planned on using it as a japan trip journal/sketchbook but i thought the better of it and just decided to write and draw in it starting today.

i'll share one of the entries with you:


i just saw a professor holding a cupcake gingerly and eating it. The cupcake was chocolate, had blue frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

he reminded me of a scene from the movie 100 Girls. Particularly the one scene where Matt's dad runs down the street after an ice cream truck in tighty whities.

just simply not acting his age. there's just some things that adults/old people shouldn't eat.

cupcakes.

It makes them look stupid.

Dumb.

Whatever.

i got an A on my paper!! WHOOOOOOOO!!

that is all.

booyah.

/begin semi-rant

a)
i'm never going to get chicken at subway again. there just isn't enough meat, nor is it spread around evenly. i had chunks of chicken here, and chunks of chicken there...and the chicken pizziola crap....screw that stuff...from subway, it's just a poor excuse for a chicken parmesan sandwich with pepperoni on it. i'm just going to stick with what i know...steak and cheese. there's always plenty of that stuff. i have to admit though...the sandwich is filling.

b)
i hate girls.

c)
let me revise that statement. i hate girls who giggle at me and not-so-subtlely make fun of me. i know i should be a lot more mature about it, but it's just something about THEM that bugs the fuck out of me.
situation goes:

i just bought my sandwich, and i sit at a table just eating my sandwich with a book. i need to get caught up on my USP reading.
a couple girls a few tables down sit down and start talking, etc.
i continue eating, stopping to wipe my mouth...relatively constantly...like...every two or three bites. it's just habit, and it's just me. those of you who've eaten with me know what that's about.
the girls kinda shush down, and i think, great...i can concentrate on my reading even more.
and then there's an explosive giggle and some...well...the best way to describe it would be *snorking*.
i look over and these girls are just looking at me innocently, stifling their laughter.
i continue eating, but keep my peripheral vision in their direction.
apparently they're laughing about my napkin habits.
they giggle every time i do it, which is pretty often.
i don't exactly like having crumbs sticking to my face, or just random food particles where they don't belong...and random food particles belong in one of three places-- on a plate, in my mouth, or on a napkin.
so it really bugs me when these girls are laughing at me about napkin habits.
i had this urge to just take my half eaten sandwich and just jam it into the girl's face, but you know...getting my ass sued because of a sandwich isn't as glorious as being sued for being a moron.
so i just left.
in retrospect, i shouldn't have been so affected, but i don't know. i just was.
chances are though, the girls eat like cannibals if they don't use napkins. or they're one of those girls who take forever to eat something because they have to daintily put it in their mouth in small dog food sized chunks.

/end rant

ok ok. i'm just in the library waiting for me section to happen. i'm getting my essay back, which i expect to be at least a B. if i don't get that much, i'm going to slaughter someone.

hmmm...thinking about going to gun range/gun store with apartment mate.

obviously don't have enough money to BUY a gun though. GRAH!

i don't have enough age either.

GRAH!

oh man...

it's not even 11 o'clock in the morning on a monday and i'm having an absolutely fucking great day.

a) i wake up in the morning and actually wake up in the shower.
b) i feel like dying right before class starts, but actually stayed awake for the entire lecture, and found that the lecture was pretty damn cool.
c) i go to the library (where i am right now...)and check my email. That's where i find that in a span of 8 hours, i've gotten 3 emails. all emails that i started early early early this morning.
d) first one's from Orscon Scott Card's assistant. i'll let the email speak for itself:

In a message dated 3/10/2003 2:02:10 AM Eastern Standard Time, j0nz0rs@hotmail.com writes:

I would like to see Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow as a possible motion screen movie. how would orson scott card feel about that, and if he approves, how would he go about bringing it to life?


It's already in the works.  Warner Bros. with Wolfgang Peterson, will be doing the movie with OSC as the screen writer.  Although it will be called Ender's Game, it will definitely combine both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.  He's only finished the first draft of the screenplay at this point, so I don't know what's in and what's out, but with OSC writing it, we can't go wrong!

Thanks for writing.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Bellamy
Assistant to OSC

now you know how chandler and joey jumps around all happy and stuff? that's how i feel NOW. and that's only the first email! right now, i feel like dancing around, but i'd probably get kicked out of the library for that. As if the email from the assistant wasn't cool enough, check this:

e) i made a mistake when submitting my question to Orson Scott Card's website, and so i ended up sending two emails instead. however, i also got two emails in reply. here's the second one:

ok. as if i couldn't get even more excited, there's a place where they actually say that Warner Brothers is actually coming out with the movie.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP. So you can imagine that my heart is about to leap out of my chest. An Ender's Game movie! i have the greatest timing in asking questions... the force is strong in this one. >ecstatic< anyway....onwards.

f) i got an email from my TA saying that my essay was pretty good and that with the rough draft that i have, i have a solid C. now, that may seem like a bad thing to most people...but my essay is really crap. so it can only get better and upward from a C! yes!
g) so that's 3 emails. but my not-even-half-way-over-great-day isn't done. oh man.
h) i check ain't it cool after reading the small article about the Ender's Game Movie. supposedly tears of the sun is a really good movie. read some reviews and whatnot, and i've heard decent things about it. excited about that.
i) i read on. i look up who wolfgang petersen is. he's apparently the director of the perfect storm and air force one. that and he's got a movie slated for 2004 called "Troy". dude. brad pitt as hector? orlando bloom as troy? sean bean as odysseus? eric bana as hector? (he's from the hulk, by the way.) brian cox as agamemnon? (he was in The Ring, Super Troopers and some other stuff....) this movie is going to rock ass.
j) i found on ain't it cool again that MI:3 is coming out. and it's by the director for Narc...and i heard a lot of good things about Narc. the director of Narc did one of BMW films, Ticker...which i really really liked, so MI:3 might just be damn good. have always like mission: impossible. it seems like it may turn into an almost james bond thing. heh
k) i'm listening to the evanescence cd. the more i listen to it, the more i like it. right now, the best 10 bucks i've spent on a music cd.

it's just been a pretty good day so far...i'm hoping it'll get even better.

boo yah.

final post for the day:

puma's latest ads.

for the girls, a picture in red!




and for the guys, a picture in blue!



enjoy.

thought i'd kick this up a bit since my lost post was kinda depressing. at least for me, anyhow.

alrighty. allow me to bring to you, the attention of a new product called SoBe, Mr. Green.

exhibit a.

this drink looks harmless enough. kinda cool because of the SoBe lizard, all decked out, right?

now check out the color of this drink:

exhibit b.

exhibit c.

exhibit d.

ladies and gentlemen...this drink...is GREEN. medicinal green.

this is what i look like when i drink it:


the best part about this? it also has an after taste of medicine.

the only thing i can advertise about funky coloring of soda, minus the red soda, code red of course...is:

pepsi blue!



booyah.




let me break this weekend down for you:
friday: buddy came, hung out with me, talked with me, ate with me, things like that.
saturday: relatively the same thing. showed buddy the movie, 100 Girls.
sunday: saw buddy off, she went home...

now, several things. my head is again, really full, but it's entirely about me and an aptmate.

he's a very introverted guy. thinks a lot. won't say much.

the reason i'm worried is because he might actually hate me, and I really don't know it.

his portable mp3 player....it's cool, and everything, and it's a really good buy, and i'm happy that he's got it, but what gets me is that he walks around in the apartment with it on all the time. it makes me feel as i can't approach him, or talk to him because he's listening to music. the more i think about it, the more he's isolating himself.

he's stopped being on AIM altogether, he constantly turns his cell phone off, he locks himself in his room and does work all the time to the point where i feel like he's just holing up...and when he does come out, he's wearing ear buds with music on, so i can't really talk to him. i admit when i talk to him, some times things are really awkward because deep down inside, i know i don't understand him, and he doesn't understand me. and sometimes, it's odd just talking to him because i've said a lot to him about everything, and constantly, i'm repeating myself because i don't know what's been said.

i'm not sure what the hell to do. i want to get to know him, you know? i'm beginning to feel that out of all the apartmentmates that i have, he's the one that's getting harder and harder for me to connect with.

i want to be cool with him, and i want him to be cool with me...

either i worry way too much, and i'm just turning into a paranoid ball, or my suspicions are right. i pray to whatever higher power there is, that i'm horribly, horribly wrong.
