I thought I'd abuse the new feature.

-I've been watching a lot of cartoons in my free time. Clearly, my transformation into a 14 year old Japanese boy is nearing completion.

-I dropped a big kitchen knife onto my foot. I've never had stitches before so that was exciting.

-Bruce Campbell is coming to town in the near future. Fucking sweet.

-This is destined...

Lets see.

Watched Ben-Hur at the recently renovated movie theater. We sat up in the balcony where they have these double seat thingies, kinda like a loveseat, but more theaterish. Good times were had. Im a sucker for the old spectacular roman and/or bible stories. Ben-Hur, Spartacus, The 10 Commandments, that sort of thing. God only knows why though. Its not like Im Christian.

My girlfriend is a genius. Why you ask?

Horchata as a cereal additive. Its so good.

Well then. Started summer class. Its more or less Vikings 300. Its being taught by a grad student. Little squidly guy, says hes into medieval folklore. He says his interest in the area is that Vikings have cool undead thingies. I bet he plays D&D. I like him well enough. He showed clips of the 13th warrior fer Christsakes! The walk to class and from...

Alright. I saw a good baseball game yesterday. We almost won doughnuts. Shucks. Shakespeare in the park tonight. It delivered, there was Shakespeare and there was a park. I am content. Tomorrow you ask? Grand parent, burgers and girlfriend-gift buying. Day after that? Arizona.

Stupid thing of the day. I don’t really have any problem with politicizing rock music, but damn are they reaching.

The World Cup has been exciting. The Brazil-Ghana game was a beauty.

Too much TV rots my brain, but I can't stop watching Arrested Development.

I miss my girlfriend.

That is all.

Well, flying off to KC tomorrow. I'll let you know how that goes. I'll try and say in touch while out of state. I return the 7th.

Ok I got here fine. It's nice to see the family. The part of Kansas I'm in is sort of a suburban cocoon. Strip malls and little housing developments as far as the eye can see.

So California was a lot of fun. Much time was spent at the beach and a number of attractions were visited. Ive signed up for summer school, two big beefy classes in 5 weeks and at an inflated tuition rate. Its probably going to suck. I might fly out to Kansas City later this month too. Its shaping up to be a busy summer.

In the morning Ill be leaving for a week long jaunt over to California. Hermosa Beach to be precise. Ill be back in a week.

So close to being done....



... and done.

Ive resigned myself to hating existence, at least for the next week and a half. Hopefully things should proceed smoothly from here on out.

Ive got to do a paper on corporate power. Id like to write about how elite social groups end up influencing corporate/government policy, which in turn influences the behavior of the general population. Id like to have a specific incident or...
