sketchy behavior in my neighborhood #2
that ice cream truck i was talking about? yeah, well it’s out again. it’s 7:45 and it’s out patrolling the streets, for christ’s sake. What’s more, it’s playing some weird rendition of Scott Joplin’s “Ragtime”, but it’s as if the speakers are broken, so it’s playing in a slowed down, strange sounding key..
Creepy as hell…

i'm excited
My parents decided to buy a Blu-ray player last night. And i got to pick a movie to buy. So i got Memento, which is a fantastic film that is guaranteed to fuck your mind sideways. I love it. What’s more, i found out that the DVD comes with commentary from the director Christopher Nolan, who is probably the smartest bastard making films out there. I’m extremely excited to see it and...

pass the asparagus
[at the dinner table]
Carolyn Burnham: Your father and I were just discussing his day at work. Why don't you tell our daughter about it, honey?
Lester Burnham: Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
Carolyn Burnham: Your father seems to think this kind of behavior is something to be proud of.
Lester Burnham: And your mother seems to prefer I go through life like a fucking prisoner while she keeps my dick in a mason jar under the sink.
Carolyn Burnham: How dare you speak to me that way in front of her! And I marvel that you can be so contemptuous of me, on the same day that you LOSE your job.
Lester Burnham: Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops! Where'd my job go?" I QUIT. Someone pass me the asparagus.
first week of high school
I began high school on Monday. I go to probably the highest regarded arts school in Florida, and all summer i was eagerly awaiting the day i’d be able to walk its hallowed, checkered halls. Needless to say, i love it. It’s fantastic. I’m in theater, and the arts teachers- the one’s i’ve seen thus far, anyway- are amazing. The academic teachers are equally great,...

barely conscious.
i’m going to have to get used to going to bed earlier and waking up at five. i’ve been exhausted every day after school, and have just gone straight to sleep. this won’t work out too well once homework starts getting assigned.

Pride and Prejudice
I was pleasantly surprised with the British miniseries faithfully based on the Jane Austen novel. I tried reading the book, but just could not get through it. I found it to be, as the characters so often love to say in the book, insufferable. But, i decided to watch the series instead, and found myself rather interested in what was going on. The acting was fantastic, especially Colin Firth’s...
my, my, have i been depressing.
Well, No more of that nonsense. Appy polly loggies, O brothers.
