morrow's gonna go

i'm somewhat disoriented this morning. i've been having these flashes of my hallucinated life. how much of this life is fantasy? how closely does my percieved reality coincide with reality..if there is one.

strawberry fields forever

i've been watching a lot of movies lately. i guess that's the great thing about summertime. my list this summer so far has been: (i rated them on a scale of 1-10)

Minority Report (7)
Mulholland Drive (9)
Bourne Identity (5)
A Beautiful Mind (6)
Rollerball (3)
Sexy Beast (5)
Black Hawk Down (8)
Strictly Ballroom (9)
Men in Black II (3)
Reign of Fire (5)
Gossford Park (9)
Orange County (1)
Rugrats in Paris (2)
Summer of Sam (4)
I am Sam (9)
Full Metal Jacket (4)
The Majestic (4)
Quills (7)


One of the recent movies that I just saw that I really liked was I am Sam. I really didn't expect much out of this film since I wasn't impressed with the previews. I have to say I really liked this movie a lot. It was filmed very well.. only a few minor moments in the script that could have used work..but overall a very good film. It's got a great soundtrack as well. I recommend them both.

When I came home from Ft. Worth today, I watched the Majestic. I was not impressed with this movie at all. I thought it was rather straight forward, great patriotic messsage, but just overflowing with nostalgia and sappyness. I was impressed that Carrey was able to pull off the character. In fact, the characters were all great, the script was fine, but the plot just lacked the complexity I was searching for.

I got the tv working up in my room. I think the cable connection is bad because the tv keeps going in and out. Oh well. I guess it'd be too much for everything to work out. I start my second round of summer class tomorrow. I'm hoping the workload will be light.
:/ we'll see.

the interview

so i'm sitting here at work now. my boss asked me to come up and be a warm body for the interview they are having today. this could be a potentially huge client for our company. they've totally fixed up the office and put up all of their pictures and finally painted the rest of the girl's bathroom. i don't feel like i belong here. i guess they needed female representation.

i woke up late today. i just couldn't drag myself out of bed. i ate lunch with jeremy and john. we had sandwiches. then i drove to work. i have nothing to do except look busy. 4-5 hours that i get paid for..so i guess it's not so bad. our company has been in a huge slump these past few months. i'm hoping the economy picks up.

i'm not sure what we have planned for this evening. i know jeremy is cooking sphagetti for dinner. we might go shopping for clothes. we'll see.

i don't know what to do to fill in the time. stare at the wall?

sim it is

so i installed all of my sim games last night and start playing hot date. i played till about 4am which wasn't smart at all. oh well. i think this game is good therapy for me since i'm such a control freak.

i tried to let one of my guys go to town and pick up a chick but he wasn't too succesful.
so far i've got one family up, two siblings and a father. the mother went off to alaska with an eskimo. hehe.

i'm all packed and ready to head out as soon as i get done with school. YEAH. last day of summer session-one class. Next session doesn't start till next week. vacation here i come! we're planning on visiting the zoo, playing neverwinter nights, and eating lots of yummy food. we'll see how much of that actually manifests. :)

growwwwwwllll



heh. this is how i feel.

bring out the sims

so i finished my paper an hour ago. i've been editing, making my works cited page, and formulating a time line. i still have to come up with a summary sheet and a list of key players for presentation...as if it weren't enough to write a final paper..we actually have to present our findings. :)

i want to finish up here really soon so i can begin reinstalling all of my sim cds. i've been hankering to play for a little while. i also need to pack since i'm heading to ft. worth to visit jeremy and my brother for the weekend.

off i go.

damnit!

argh. i'm so frustrated with myself. i just lost about an hours worth of my paper due to some save error or what not. i'm so mad i'm actually woozy. i'm about to throw up. i hate rewriting stuff. it only gets harder the second time around. now i know where the saying i'm so angry i could spit comes from. i am that angry! i want brake something. i should just get over it, i know. i can't. i'm going to have to fume all during class today. i sware i want to throw something.
