oh man what a week. i’m learning things that i never wanted to know about for all the money in the world. this econ class i’m taking is just terrible. my easiest class, which is actually far from easy, is some java programming class in the mornings and i'm so not a morning person. fridays i have telecom theory and applications which is really math intensive. not a good thing. then once a week i have this seminar thing which is only two credits and involves speakers and such, however the work load is ridiculous and it easily rivals my other classes in terms of difficulty. i have to take seminar twice to graduate, but there are projects and papers to come that i am absolutely dreading.
yesterday at the pool i had the pleasure of listening to our apartment’s most dysfunctional family. the two times i’ve heard them i haven’t seen a dad. only the mom, one or two of her kids, an aunt and her kid. the women scream at the top of their lungs at the kids and the rest of the time just talk in very loud voices. one minute they are talking about the latest gossip, the next minute the kids are screaming and crying, then they get spanked, parents are yelling, and it’ll finally calm down. here were some of my favorite quotes of the day:
woman: "are you finished going pee? matthew remove your penis."
garbled
matthew: "i want my money."
screaming
yelling
unintelligable
matthew: "ow, ow!" crying
woman: "be quiet. that doesn't hurt."
matthew: "i want my mama."
woman: "oh stop whining matthew."
saturday kim and i are going to the cu game and we are, well i am, so stoked. i’m sure she’s excited too. they play montana state. we need all the help we will get so hopefully playing them will be good for us.
well cu sure choked on saturday’s game. most are blaming james cox, our quarterback. some guys got some amusing chants going including, “i hate cox” and “you suck cox”. i put a lot of the blame on our defense. sure we held them back a few times within inches of the line, but we just could not stop their qb from getting it down the field. oh well. this saturday they will go to the slaughter against csu. however, i will be going to the slaughter at tom’s wedding during the game. this speech thing is driving me nuts. it’s just a damn toast that will last barely a minute but i’m getting so much pressure to pretty much put on a freaking show. call me a party pooper but i’m really not looking forward to this saturday. no, i am.
the new texas chainsaw massacre looks really good, but too scary for me to see.
Beerfest (2006): two guys must defend their grandparent’s honor by beating the germans at their own game, which is basically drinking olympics. a great example of proximate cause in negligence is in a pretty funny scene where they hit some kid. you just have to see it. it’s really foul and only about 30 percent of the all the jokes are actually funny. a lot of the movie is so ridiculous that you just have to laugh. some of my more favorite lines are, "i wish i could put my dick in it." "i wish i could put it’s dick in me." and you know, i had a couple more but didn’t write them down. trust me that they were funny. the special effects for the big finale competition (the boot) sucked really bad. all in all, there was nothing special about it and it’s completely ridiculous. unless you are into that sort of thing (ryan), it’s probably not worth your time.
disappointing, C-
after the movie they hint at their next project, potfest. and since stoner movies are usually better than drunken movies, i’d see potfest if it actually comes out.
i’m putting together all my movie reviews into one handy page. it’s tedious work but it’s still kind of fun. joey pointed out that so many people give a shit about my reviews (or the blog in general) so i wouldn’t want to disappoint.
my seminar class sucks so bad that i will probably drop it today, leaving only three classes, which is fine by me. even though i say i’m on the road to being a post-grad dropout, i think i will be on the two and a half year plan. and people keep asking what it is i will do with this when i’m done. good question. work for a telecom company i suppose. i’m not the crazy technical engineer that most of my peers seem to be, so i will most likely emphasize in like business management or policy. what is likely to happen is that i will graduate, work for a telecom as some low level nothing, and do my best to work up the ladder. isn’t that everyone’s plan? it’s a damn good one so long as there is opportunity to rise up. first things first though. i need to learn java, economics, finance, and horrible math applied to telecom. terrible.
i hate the fact that my pictures on the blog are always like a month behind what is actually going on. in order to update the pics i have to put up a post, but because of no time and lack of motivation, i don’t post as much as i’d like. so i figure we could go a little out of order on the pics.
i haven’t ran in days and am not sticking to my eating plan very well. it’s not good. i’m gaining a bit of weight back, but hopefully this is the week to get me back on track. it’s never going to happen so long as tom keeps wanting to eat out for lunch every day at school. like today. damn you tom. no more. it ends tomorrow!
