10:19 pm - Razor Gator!
|
http://razor-gator.com
Seriously, if this isn't the best thing in the world, I don't know what is. I've had to deal with razor gunk for a long time now, and I'm more than ready to kiss it goodbye (not that I want to kiss razor gunk, it's gross).
Protect our precious metal reserves! Buy Razor Gator!

1:58 am - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
|
It's only been two days since I saw Revenge of the Sith and I'm already beginning to find reasons to loathe it.
Watching the original trilogy the next day didn't help. It's just fucking ace.
I still maintain that it was good, but it is falling further and further from the greatness of the originals.

12:22 pm - Patented Guilt & Grief Spray
|
You know, it's kinda weird that I've suddenly given up on the career path I've been sure of for the last 10 years.
I guess it really hasn't sunk in yet.

12:47 pm - Math is Pain
|
I don't know whether to love or hate my Calc teacher. He announced at the beginning of the semester that your final grade would be dependent on what you actually got out of the class, not just how many points you got. Therefore, even if you failed every test in the entire semester, you would get a B for your grade if you pulled an 80 on your final. I can see the logic of that since the final is cumulative, but it's probably going to completely destroy me in the end. I haven't lifted a finger this entire semester, so my entire grade is dependent on this one test coming up in 40 minutes.

2:56 pm - I don't see what's so important about Bases Ball
|
Had an interesting day yesterday.
First of all, I went to my friend's house to watch the original Bad News Bears for my first time. Since the remake is coming around eventually, I was curious. I enjoyed the movie, but didn't really see the need for a remake. I mean, it didn't seem extremely outdated for a 30 year old movie, and that's pretty impressive. I guess some things never change.
Then we left for a real baseball game. The Nationals are our new home team, so we felt obliged to actually go to a game this season. We left pretty early, and found our seats about a half hour before the game was scheduled to start. Unfortunately, the game was then postponed for two hours and forty minutes due to severe rain and thunderstorms. It wasn't entirely terrible waiting all that time, the storm was fun to watch from our seats and we kept relatively dry from the roof over our seats. During calm moments of the storm, a few fans lost their patience and ran onto the field. No good security tackles, but one guy used the rain tarp as a slip-n'-slide (and he got away, too). Finally, a small event noted by ESPN.com:
"During the torrential downpour, gusty wind blew the large metal tube on which the tarp is rolled from the warning track in left-center into short right-center, a distance of about 200 feet, with the crowd cheering its progress."
Yeah, we were pretty starved for entertainment. T-shirt cannons won't hold us for 160 minutes.
The game amazingly eventually started, and the Nats won around 12:30AM (after being at the stadium for 6 hours). We decided the night shouldn't be over yet, so we went to an all-night diner to celebrate. Note that before we got there, I said we should probably go to a Denny's or IHOP instead because diners were "too ghetto". As soon as we walked in, some hick there called my friend's brother a "redneck" and called us all troublemakers before he left. We probably shouldn't pay much attention to a guy who had a piece of paper that said "Jack Mehoff" on his chest like a makeshift nametag.
However, it only got better. An argument between the cook and a customer broke out over a chair that shouldn't be moved. Yeah, it was just that. The customer noted that he wouldn't leave a tip, and the waitress noted that they wouldn't make his food. The argument wasn't that bad until the customers (two of them now) said they were going to leave, and the cook said that no, they HAD to leave. This was the wrong thing to say, as another argument broke out that I was half-sure was going to break into a fistfight. Fortunately or unfortunately it didn't, but it took 15 minutes to resolve before we could actually order some food. The food was okay (but included the worst chocolate milk I've EVER had. More Ovaltine please!), but it was mostly worth it for the entertainment value.
No one will ever doubt my judgement of ghetto-ness again, and that's the moral of the story.
Now to study for the Calc exam that basically amounts to 100% of my grade tomorrow.

2:00 pm - Selling Out to Hypocrisy
|
I finally acquired a job as a professional hippie. While it doesn't seem like something I should be paid to do, I won't argue it. It gives me something to do over the summer and maybe I'll make some decent scratch for once in my life.
Really, that's the only interesting thing that's happened to me over the past few weeks. Well, other than relapsing into my usual bout of laziness and gluttony, but that's to be expected by now.
They keep on RISIIIIIIING!

It is confirmed. Being sick blows. This could hardly be a less opportune time for it, too. I think I'm just going to curl up and die now.

Well, I didn't get sick yesterday, but I still feel like crap today. I'd almost rather be bedridden for one day than have to feel general crappiness for the next week while I have to do work.
If things weren't bad enough, I didn't get the first job I interviewed for. I have another I haven't heard back from yet, but I should really get more applications in before I end up jobless for another year.
On a lighter note...
It's DooM. It's Rogue. Go figure.

I'm showing symptoms of a sickness that hit me like a ton of bricks a few days ago. I really hope I don't get sick, since this weekend is supposed to be my little vacation away from school.
I was really looking forward to being home, but now it seems pretty craptacular. Oh well, maybe next week will be better.

11:36 pm - I left my towel on Betelgeuse
|
I'd hardly call myself a hardcore Douglas Adams fan (though I was pretty bummed when he died). I've read the Trilogy a few times (except for Mostly Harmless which starts out boring as hell). So needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the novels and was heavily looking forward to the movie to be released in about two weeks.
Then I had the misforturne to read this review. I've gotten over the initial shock and have convinced myself that this might just be the ravings of an embittered fan who can't enjoy a movie. Nonetheless, I'm torn over whether to look forward to this anymore. I wasn't ready to be disappointed, but I should prepare myself now lest I end up strangling myself with the towel I bring to the theater. At least I haven't read the books in over a year, so I won't be able to point out the omissions as easily. I'll try not to be tied down to the words on the page, and just enjoy the movie for the movie.
Likewise, I've had six years to come to terms that Episode III will probably suck, and I'm still going to see that. Hey, everybody needs closure.
Like this entry.

My life would be a lot more interesting if I were female. Well, it wouldn't be, but a lot more people would suddenly care. And that would be cool.
Still no word on my employment. They said to wait two weeks, so I continue to hang on a thread of hope. Chances are I won't get the job since only team-playing happy people are allowed to get shitty jobs... I should stop before I contract Angstmata. Fucking conformists.
...ow, my wrists are bleeding. Fuck.
Let me get some paper towels.

I made some minor cosmetic changes, which is pointless since no one will view this outside of thier friends page. It's worth sacrificing comfort in order to show how many faces I have rocked. And in the end, isn't that what's really important?
I'll probably spend the rest of the day tweaking things unsuccessfully to try to emulate my old layout.

11:55 pm - Instructions to the Internet (and other lost works)
|
Five minutes will mark the one month anniversary of my first entry in this LiveJournal. I knew I was going to do something special for this occasion, but I can't think of anything at the moment. So instead I will just ramble on for slightly longer than average... in reminiscence!
I think my early aversion to blogs was the word itself. Blog. Sounds like something a bear leaves in the woods, or maybe a soggy, moss covered piece of wood. Nevertheless, I thought it was completely retarded. I didn't think to read other people's blogs unless they had a theme: politics, video games, whatever. The last thing I wanted to read about was the trials and tribulations of adolescent losers. I had my own adolescent loser self to keep track of, and that was hard enough.
Secondly was the problem of my life being uninteresting. As you can plainly see, nothing about that has changed, I just got over it and pretended to be meaningful anyway. I guess it's a blessing in disguise, since it forces me to substitute wit in place of interesting stories. Except when I don't, then it's boring all around. My sense of self-degradation can never be substituted, however.
I started writing as a joke, unsure of whether I would ever write again. I can't say I've become addicted to this kind of rambling, but it didn't turn me off like I assumed it would. It's a somewhat happy medium that I wouldn't mind keeping up for a while longer. I still maintain that my primary reason for doing this is to sharpen my writing skills in case I ever get off my lazy ass and write something worthwhile. I was a great writer when I was a kid, but my skills haven't increased proportionally with my age. Rusty writing skills would be my secret shame.
So I will continue to post. Maybe one day I'll... all right, I can't possibly think of anything that I could do. I'll work on that, too.
But until then...

Anyway, to the Internet!

1:56 pm - It's Springtime For Hitler
|
I had my first job interview on Monday. It went all right, but I really suck at relating my life experiences on the spot. I don't have a great memory to begin with, and I tend to avoid working with groups, so it's quite possible these events never occurred. That doesn't mean I can't slave away eight hours a day pretending I like to be a team player. It was just as saccharine and artificial as I thought it would be, but I guess it prepares me for dishonesty in other fields such as crime or politics.
On a lighter note, the weather here is absolutely beautiful. Which is nature's way of telling us that it will just get cold and rainy again, then blisteringly hot. I guess that wasn't a lighter note at all, but it'll be nice to enjoy it while it lasts.
current mood: Springtime Fun!
