today's rating: better than yesterday...i'll say as high as an 8.5
i've been on a movie binge lately. seems like i'm always poppin one in my VCR or DVD player. since yesterday, i've watched Road Trip, Enemy at the Gates, Half Baked, Disclosure, Remember the Titans, The Replacements, Dude Where's My Car, Office Space, Swingers, and Billy Madison...
and ya know what kinda bugs me? my DVD player is in my computer and isn't an external component. and i'm sure i could figure out a way to get it to play on my TV instead of my monitor, but that's a little to nerdy/tech for me. it's not that i'm lazy, i just don't care.
you may be wondering what made my day relatively stellar compared to days past. so do i. i had an inorganic chemistry test this morning at 9. last night i was up til 2 studyin, and then til 4 not really studyin but rather just kinda hangin out. and my paranoia saved my butt today....i had set my alarm clock, my radio, and my phone to go off at five minute intervals....as each sounded, i turned each off and rolled back over to sleep. luckily i had anticipated my morning struggle and had a friend call me thirty minutes prior to my test (just enough time to throw on clothes and make it to the test on time).
zen o' the day - so i have one of those little desk calendars that are often reserved for the Far Side cartoons or dilbert...the oddball that i am, mine has a zen quote for each day. friday, april 19th's saying is as follows:
Today is absolutely today. Today is not yesterday. Today is not tomorrow. -- Ogui
now correct me if i'm wrong, and i don't wanna burst mr. ogui's bubble here, but.....DUH! they're totally separate words...i mean, if mr. roget in all his infinite wisdom thought that today, tomorrow, and yesterday were the same, he'd have put them in the thesaurus as synonyms....but this is most definitely and entirely not the case. apparently, mr. ogui is some buddhist sensei (i looked him up)...you'd think they'd have more to discuss than semantics....i mean, really.....
random four sentences from the nearest book: A good host offers a choice of Scotch, vodka, gin, white wine, beer, and in the South, bourbon. He serves the wine in an ice bucket and keeps the beer cold, either in a cooler or in the refrigerator. He makes sure to have plenty of ice, as well as a variety of mixers, not just for his drinking friends but for the pleasure of his nondrinking friends as well. His bar is never complete without freshly sliced lemons and limes, a jigger, stirrers, plenty of glasses, a bottle opener, a corkscrew, and a stack of cocktail napkins. --- A Gentleman Entertains : A Guide to Making Memorable Occasions Happen
two thoughts: i) being a good host is expensive. ii) i own some weird books.....

my right now thoughts
i'm tired.
i give up.
i'm sick of all the crap that comes along with it.
i want out.
i want it to end.
stop the world, i want to get off.
all the hassle,
it's not worth it.
i'd give it all back to start over again.

today's rating: ooooohhhh...7 sounds like a good number
's been a while, huh? guess nothing's been goin on lately.
Automatic Taco Machine? oh, one thing was kinda weird. apparantly taco bell doubles as an atm......yeah, you can can get cash back at the drive thru window. when did this start? and doesn't it seem kinda weird to anyone else? who's gonna give their PIN number to some punky kid who is cleaning the bathrooms when he isn't taking your order? hmmmm....ya know, i don't think this one's gonna work.....
the 5th food group another one from the supposed smartest guys on the planet: space ramen. those crazy japanese experts are at it again. cuz astronauts need their cup o' noodles as much as the average college student.....i didn't think the technology budgets had been cut back that far....
man, sometimes i wish school would just end.......it's the end of the year, all my friends are graduating this semester, and smart guy me has wasted his time and slacked off so much that i have an entire extra year to get the shaft. and what is it with professors? they all know we have four or five other classes, jobs, and relationships. but none of that matters to them. the only thing that matters to them is their class. one of my plethora of aquaintances dealt with this first hand. frustrated with the amount of work given by her architecture professor, she declared "Architecture is not my life!" "well it should be." that's what she got back...it should be...honestly....how much of what we learn in the classroom can we use once we get out of school? huh? i got a hundred bucks to the first person who tells me a daily use for triple integrals using spherical coordinates....i figure it's a safe bet....
