Sometimes I get scared that later in my life I'm going to look back and wonder what the point was. What am I doing? How is anything I'm going to do with my life going to change anything in the world? Does it matter if it changes anything?
bort!
...getting to bed at a reasonable hour tonight (3:30 am is reasonable compared to 6:30am, especially since I have to get up at 7:30 for my new media class)

I saw XMen 2 tonight (and yes, I know it's actually called X2, but that just doesn't sound right somehow, so I'm going to continue calling it XMen 2), and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. I mean, I knew it wasn't going to be some character-driven art piece exploring the complex relationships between mutants and humans, humans and humans, and mutants and mutants (though it would be kind of interesting to see someone do a straight drama with action movie characters)...but I was disappointed only because someone involved with the film thought so little of the audience that they felt it necessary to keep tossing in little hints like breadcrumbs for really simple parts of the plot. "Hey, just in case you forgot, this scene isn't really happening, it's just a hallucination." Uh, yeah, of course it is, we just watched the guy start hallucinating a second ago. ...Grr.
But overall it was neat. I wouldn't say it's good, but then, I wasn't expecting it to be good. I was expecting it to be neat.
I'm not looking forward to The Hulk...except when it comes out for rent. My wife and I have decided that it is going to make for an excellent drinking game: take a shot every time the guy turns green.
Foo...I should really be doing my homework. Last project of the semester and I've got revised roughs due monday morning and no revisions done.

My head hurts. I don't get hangovers, I get hangunders. I had a single Guinness tonight, and my brain is punishing me for not indulging it more thoroughly.
On a good note: I've spent the past 6 months of my life making it easier for people to buy wine and latin music online, among other things. I guess that's a good note...maybe not.
...I don't know, my head hurts right now and I think I'm going to take a caffeine pill (read: Excedrin) and jump into bed so I can have wacky dreams.

I just posted a poem in the poetry kicks ass group, here. That's the first time I've ever posted any of my work anywhere, and the only time anyone outside of the poetry classes I've taken has seen that particular piece.
...there really should be a :nervous: smiley for moments like this.

There's a really great discussion going on over on the boards about the pros/cons of unions. That's one subject I reeeeally don't know enough about to weigh in on, but there are some really good points being made for both sides, and anyone who has any interest in the economy or the workforce should at least pay it a visit to see what's up.
Oh, and if you've got an opinion about me linking to the discussion (or, really, anything else), I'd love to hear it, but if you've got an opinion about unions, please go post it on the discussion board, I don't want to fragment the conversation.

Dammit. There was a Babyland show tonight and I missed it because I'm a big dork. I posted the event on the calendar here and then I forgot about it, opting instead to take a bite out of my mountain of laundry. Foo. It probably just ended too. Maybe I'll head down to SD this weekend to check out the show down there. Most likely though I'll just wait until their next LA gig to get showered in red hot sparks.
Caffeine is my best friend and worst enemy. Addictions suck, but I'm okay with mine in a conflicted sorta way.
Bought the Requiem For A Dream DVD tonight, and just got done watching it with [Director] Darren Aronofsky's commentary. God that movie makes me want to die. It's beautiful.
If, at some point in my career, I can have a hand in the creation of a movie of that caliber, then I'll know that someday I'll be able to look back fondly on my career. Before watching it with the commentary, I thought the movie was damn near perfection. Now I think it's just perfection, unqualified.
