the return of the cherokee

so i’m having a hard time these days. between a few things called, a jeep that was supposed to have arrived today, a wait-listed law school, and a cat that pisses on my fav blanket, then help me out by pisses again on my just washed t-shirts. is it too much to ask that i feel as though today is a bad day? is it too much to ask that i can be upset because of my bad day? is it too much to ask that i get a little fucking sympathy because of all this shit? who wouldn’t be upset day in and day out if their vehicle which is needed five days a week, was in god knows what state, and you just hope that all your belongings are still inside and some greasy truck driver hasn’t decided to go rummaging through my stuff? that was a long question, but the point is, well you get the damn point. yes, i’ve been grumpy almost every day of the week, but can you see why? maybe i’m wrong to feel like this. maybe it’s not normal and the average person would just get over it. and sorry that i have to take it out on those closest to me, but what else am i to do? i guess i could just bottle it up and never talk about it, but i assume that’s not very healthy for someone’s mental state. something is also changing with me. for all my life i’ve been kind to people and respectful even when they are jerks. but my tolerance level is growing thin of late. saying i’m on a short fuse might be pushing it a bit. just a little on edge. maybe it’s practice for the next phase of my life in law school. i think things will get better once my car gets back. i hope. otherwise i’m on the verge of getting thrown out of my home.

Dark Water (2005): they show this tram going across some river in nyc. does anyone know anything about this? i’ve never seen this before. not like i’ve ever really seen nyc though. i think they said roosevelt island. a projects looking place. anyways, the movie takes forever to get going. it took over fifty minutes before the plot actually moved along. the plot was nothing new. it was too much like the ring, just set in some slummy apartment building and not as clever. i was getting so restless throughout because nothing happens. the little girl is a great actress. i’m starting to notice a lot of really good child actors lately. i think casting people are starting to realize the absurdity of some past children’s performances and are actually getting realistic kids. i can’t stress enough has slow moving this movie is. the ending is surprising (poor little girl gets the shaft, and not in a good way), but not redeeming. don’t see.

kim is out living the party life in vegas going to clubs tonight while i’m at home going for a double feature. the last few days i’ve been able to write a lot in my blog, but it will get back to my normal routine of skipping every few days before throwing this crap together as soon as kim gets back.

best sound editing to war of the worlds. short film live action to our time is up.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005): i don’t even know what to expect from this movie. actually, i’m expecting this to be terrible. my little brother likes it, but he’s into some weird stuff. and i heard it’s totally absurd. the movie is a combination of fifth element and any richard curtis movie (look him up). in fact this movie does so well as a british movie and i’m glad it wasn’t destroyed by some american studio. it’s so ridiculous with such a weird type of humor that i think it will turn off a lot of people. special effects and costumes and aliens are done so well with what i assume was a lower budget. it will be one of the weirdest movies that i own, but i think i’ll pick it up someday. it’s so off the wall that i think you have to see it before making any judgments. but you really should give it a chance. see it.

how is it that there are some olympic events where there isn’t a single american competing in? there isn’t a single american good enough to do the cross country skiing? i don’t think we are that great actually compared to the rest of the world. we have a ton more metals every time because we have more athletes than anyone else. we have more athletes than anyone else because we have more money than anyone else to train. i’m probably way off, but that’s my take. i love this country and and am always proud to see us win left and right. but i would love to see the u.s. get put in its place this year and not dominate like usual. so far we are off to what seems like a crappy start. apollo falling, bode in fifth place, kwan out, someone's little sister in, a gold and silver in the halfpipe, but no sweep, and a ton of other events i'm leaving out where we just weren't good enough. the u.s. won't last forever as being the number one country in the universe and most probably have a hard time accepting that. it's never a bad thing to be humbled every now and then. this country is no exception.

snow looks crazy in the east. hope everyone is safe out there. the threat of snow was always fun because it meant that everything shuts down. supposedly, the snow and ice is much worse back east compared to the real snow of the rockies. i’m not sure if i believe it.

i hate stupid morning shows like good morning america and today. and i hate even more the stupid people that stand in the background and scream and wave like idiots. and i hate even more than them, stupid hosts like katie couric. actually, she’s really the only one i hate. how can anyone watch her and take her seriously? i got my jeep this morning at 8 am in the freezing cold at the grocery store a few blocks away. i don’t feel like going to class this morning so i think i’m gonna bail and just either unpack my jeep, watch terminator 2, or think about homework. thinking about homework is becoming my forte. man, it's only been a month and a half. there's still so much time.
