The power went off for the whole campus tonight. a few thoasand people, all without lights, all striving with the same worries about work, the same annoyance with the lights out. All wishing for one singular thing, light. Some in fear of the dark, and others out of boredom. Boredom was my particular reason. It was caused by an electrical fire in Yavapai. Don't know if any poor unlucky honors students were fried. Or whatever. But what I do know is that the lights came back on after about 15 or 20 minutes. So pretty quickly.
Went home this weekend. Said adios to my brother, Andy. He is my half brother. Same dad. he is 31. 12 years difference. he is married to Amanda, and they are moving to Seattle from Chandler. Andy went to school there, but Amanda has only visited, so she has to get used to the city really quickly. Anyway, I helped them pack, Well my whole family helped them pack. My mom did pictures and my dad, my sister, and I did the electronics. The PS@, the stereo, the CD changer, the DVD, the amps, and ll the stuff that goes with them. But yeah, then i drank an A and W root beer, and then, I said goodbye to my brother. And then i went shopping. I bought a bunch of new summer stuff at old navy, since really, my wardrobe consists all of black t-shirts and long jeans or capris. So now i have a few tank tops, and two pairs of bermuda shorts. Yeah for me.
Anyway, time for the night to be over. I love you all. I hate you all. The world must end.

PS the universe would be a more peaceful place- but is it a conflict of interest to reacj peace through war and assimilation? Would one great cataclismic act of the death of humanity ruin the serenity of the universe? Or does cataclism only become disaster when people are still around? It will be neither a blessing or a curse. If we all die.Current Mood:  sleepy Current Music: crappy trailer music |

Wondering why I haven't posted in forever. Look to the title. Yep, that is why. Well, that and an insane amount of homework. I realize now that I haven't left any funny anecdotes. You'd think that somethning funny would have happened to me. But nope, I don't think anything has. Going home this weekend. For fun. For a break. Wrote my last short story today, well for class anyway. Maybe I should post it, but then one of you piraters, you plagarizers might steal it and try to get it published. Because it is just that good. Wow, what a lie. Oh well. Only 2 and a hlaf real weeks of school left. Then just finals. And then I'll be done. Yippidy dooo. so yes. That is all for now.
Or should i tell you more about medea. We finished it the other day. It got better I guess, though the whole killing of the children was rather anti-climatic. She just kind of looks at a knife while holding them, and next we see, they are still and lying in their beds, dead presumably. And then she burns the house, Jason freaks out, and then, right in the middle of the action, FIN!! it was over. Oh those italians. They get you every time. My teachher loves it though. He was up there talking about how it still held up today, and I would have to disagree. The camera work was rather amateur. Some of the shots were artistically compositioned, but other than that, it was very sporadic and nothing much flowed together. And that wasn't because of a language barrier. It was just honestly jumpy, and the first 45 minutes were pretty much almost completely silent. But anyway, you'd all love it. So see it, to feel the pain i felt.
Oh, and I went to the media arts orientation. What a load of shit. the whole thing was pointless. They basically told us what good habits and shit to have when we were in college. News flash everone. We've been here for a fucking year now. I think we know to go to class. But thatnks for the expert advice. There was just the general vibe to the room that they thought we were all slackers and were going to fail. It was all just very elementary annd unsophisticated. Who needs advisors breathing down your neck to do something??

Um, I went to a movie at the ILC on friday. "barry Lyndon" it was called. it was written, directed, and produced by Kubric, so it was pretty spiffy, and funny. It wa long though
3 hours and 13 minutes
So it was Lord of the Rings long. But good. Um, not much else up. Did homework. Lots of writing. Still have a lot more to go. All and all, though it has been a fun weekend.

um, nothing up, I'm just bored. Worked on my screenplay for a while. Don't know where it was going. But i am trying. Trying soo hard. I guess I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I do not have the vision i thought i did. Maybe. Um, anyway. I wrote abouth three pages of death sequence today, which was kind of a downer. But hell, I guess killing seven people is always a downer. So yeah, all seven sons of niobe are now dead, and now all I have to do is kill off her husband, all of her daughters, and render a heart-breaking sililoquy as she wastes away childless and alone. And then becomes a rock. I really kind of wish i could get rid of the god's interference, because I just keep on having this view of flying people in diapers. Probably because in the hermes section, we watched part of the television movie of the Odyssey, and in the movie hermes was zooming around with a golden diaper thing on. It was just a really disturbing visual. A grown man in a golden diaper, with wings on his feet, floating around in the air, doing summersaults. \god it was disturbing.

Lalalalalalala. So I went to see sin city today. It was pretty good i guess. The acting and writing were wanting in some places, but other than that, the visuals were quite interesting. It was indeed like you were in a comic book. Very spiffy. Anyway, yes, in order to get to the theatre, i had to walk for fifty minutes both ways. Everything in Tucson is so bloody spcaed out. I mean, when i was in Boston visiting Sarah, the farthest we walked was to brookline, which was a pretty long way (an hour and a half), but still. Everything is so condensed that you only need to stroll a few blocks to be somewhere. I swear, Arizonans messed up the idea of the city. They made it something unholy. They are the anti-city. Though I obviously like Phoenix better. At least it has decent roads, unlike this hell hole of a city. Anyway, gotta go.

| » Two Hour Fire Alarm at 3 in the morning the day before a test, without a coat, on the windiest night |
|---|
So, I was about to go to bed after studying hard until 2:30 in the morning for my greek test, and then... a fire alarm. And not just a normal fire drill, but a special one. One that involved someone setting a fire extinguisher off. And that then apparently means, that we are not allowed inside again for 2 hours. And I still needed to take a shower. And I didn't have a coat. And it was about 30 degrees with the fastest wind I have seen since I've moved down here. Anyway. I like sleep, and I now hate fire.

I hate barbers. I just got a haircut today, and the woman that did it was perhaps the most annoying girl in the world. She tried to talk to me the whole time, which first off is a mistake. Focus on the work woman, not on my rather monotone annoyed responding tones. the hair turned out fine i guess. Though it definitely looks different. But she, that woman, just kept on blawwing on about her boyfriend, alcohol, college life, etc. She was more of a college student than me, and she was out of college. Which of course she told me.
Anyway, i guess i should update my pic now since i look a tad different. So I'll take pictures tonight and see what i can do. Anyway, the greek myth test is fast approaching, and I find myself not giving a shit about it. I think i'll study tomorrow, but right now, it doesn't weigh on my mind at all. I mean, I've read all the stories, and all of them, disregarding about two or three, i knew already. So I think as long as I glance at them again, i'll be fine. And I've studied the god pages that we need to know several times before now, so I think i'll be ok there as long as i go over it maybe once or twice more. The only problem i have is the lecture notes. I haven't looked over those at all. Oh well, there is always tomorrow. Literally in this case. God, I'm turning optimistic. I better go before I wish all the right wing republicans a happy hannukah.

Hi everybody. Just got done with classes for the day. I went home for Easter this weekend, so that my mother wuldn't have to mail me my easter basket, among other things. While I was home, my sister and I watched the Upside of Anger at cine capri. It was a decent movie. Kevin Costner at his best (hehe, luckily he wasn't in it all the bloody time, though he wasn't bad or anythingi guess). I was a bit surprised i must say by the outcome of the funeral scene. So, sarah, you should go see it. You'd probably be amused. So would Amber I think. Eamonn should go see it too, but it isn;t his kind of movie really, I don't think, plus he has better things to see, such as Sin City, which I wanna see too.
Anyway, I have a mythology test this friday, so I need to study for that, and I have to keep applying myself to creative writing. I wonder if I'll even pull of a B. Oh well. We shall see how it turns out. Well, I guess I better go get lunch. Talk to all of you later.

So, I'm goin home today, after english. I guess I like home too much, but really don't care. I like it down here too, but I have so little to do here, that I get frustrated, and my weekends are typically empty pieces of ickiness. So I go home, and watch movies, or whatever. Hang out with my family. Stuff like that. I guess I'm a family girl at heart, though, I don't really know if i want my own. Maybe an adoptive kid, but not much else. Who knows. Frankly I don't even like kids all that much. I really want a dog. So I'll get one of those. But a kid might be taking it too far.
In nesweek the toher day, I saw this really sleezy looking add for adoption, but it turns out it was through the lutheran adoption agency, or something. So I was a bit surprised that they were advertising babies from Russia as if they were mcdonalds hamburgers. I mean, the caption was something like
"Tired of waiting? We'll get a Russian child in you hands in only 8 months or less"
I just found it funny, and rather low.
Anyway, bye
