when feeling apathetic towards life, go sit in the park. i think watching the dogs play in the dog run might be one of my more enjoyed time consuming activities...and watching people is fun too. it isnt very good for helping me do homework and such, but it sure does make me smile

"I say dis book don't got ENOUGH rapists!"
"FINALLY! The voice of reason!"
I may have butchered that quote. meh. It's just so incredibly un-P.C. that it's great.
I saw the American Psycho movie before I read the book, and I thought it was okay. something seemed lacking. but then, so does the book in my opinion. heh. Christian Bale was friggin awesome, but I don't think the movie can compare to the novel. so much good stuff was left out! man I gotta read that again! but no time, man! no time! grarr. And one of these days I gotta read Rules of Attraction. sooooo much to read!
Yeah, I got some plans for my future, but who friggin knows if any of it is actually going to happen. Life usually seems to have something else in mind, no matter what your plans are. One of my favorite professors said that Life is a Digression. and that's stuck with me ever since. I dunno. I just like it.
I've been enjoying the Odyssey more than the Iliad ("and the sun sank and the roads of the world grew dark" and "Dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more"), but Oedipus is good stuff too. I haven't read Antigone, which I hear is good. and I'd really like to read Euripides' Bacchae. I'm fond of the mythology.
man, I'm a horrible writer; that's why I hate to do it so much. heh. I slave over entries sometimes. I think I'm adequate, but certainly nothing to blow my load over. ahem. so you're in good company. Anthopology, that's kinda related to sociology, yes? hehe. If I were minoring in anything it'd be sociology. I'm not entirely sure what one does with an antropology (or sociology) degree, buuuuut best of luck to ye? heh. As a future teacher, I'll probably be joining you in the alleyway, sharing my can of beans and asking people if I can service them for money. heh.
and. uhm. ahem. I say in my entry that I saw Corpse Bride. which was okay. The story is razor thin, the puns are BAD (but maybe that's the point, y'know? so that makes it less bad or even kinda cool. heh) and the characters are almost expressionless since their huge-ass, doe-like eyes and insignificantly small mouths can only convey so much emotion (the corpse bride herself could convey the most emotion and seemed like the character with the most depth). but it was still visually stunning and I enjoyed the music, especially the piano parts. All in all, I'd give it a B or a B-. et toi?
Sigur Ros rocks by the way. you should pick up their newest album, Takk...
I just saw their concert for the third time in my life, & just purchased their album, so I'm a little obsessed at the moment.

whoa. I sound like one of those smarmy guys who covertly works for a record company, befriends a hep trendsetter, and suggests that you pick up the newest album for this rad up & coming band. Let me assure you, that's not the case. heh.
Didjoo see Corpse Bride. If so, what'd you think?
