You know, I’ve started the rigamarole of a post, but now find I have very little to say. School starts in a  couple days, my financial aid got held up so I can’t get my books yet really, and that’s a pain in the ass. I’m signed up for 15 hours, but due to class levels and sizes, I have to take mandatory "recitation" classes to supplement  4 of the actual courses, which puts me in a classroom not 15, but rather 22 hours a week. This isn’t going to fit in my schedule, I’m afraid. I may need to quit my job. Anyhoo, if you wanted that u-haul mug or t-shirt, now’s the time to ask.

Last night, Brian and I went to see– you guessed it– Snakes On A Plane. Perhaps, there were higher quality, more intellectually challenging films out there; but that was not the goal. our goal was simple: Samuel Jackson.
You have to see it. It is so amazingly bad, it just has to be seen. Snakes dont bother me; I’m aware they may bother you. There’s no way in hell anyone would have gotten me into a movie called "Spiders On A Plane"  even if I knew it just a metaphor and the movie was really about orphans in a Colorado ranch praising jesus. No way in hell. But honestly, some of the reptiles had a 1992 CGI effect going– and it was so entirely laughable that many snake-o-phobes could get through it without a scratch. It was great. A plot more predictable than Little Red Riding Hood, characters as developed as a pizza box, and a healthy portion of T&A gratuity: what’s not to love? Two Thumbs Up for the romp of ridiculosity.

Otherwise, I’ve been sucked into King’s Dark Tower Gunslinger series in a way I find embarrassing. I’m not at all into horror, but this is different; and I’m in. I have however, taken a hiatus to read Stone Junction (thank you owen, you rock) and once school starts will perhaps lose the Dark Tower fever and get actual work done.

Nevermind. This is the most pointless post ever.

I’ll do better next time.

love.
