"I'm waiting for the man"
Clearly it is time for an update.Work is a bit bleh. But it pays. And I'm not going as crazy as I thought I would be. Good.
I'm reading Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market by Eric Schossler and A People's History of the United States (The Twentieth Century) by Howard Zinn. I have several novels I've been meaning to read, but right now my History major half has taken over. John Steinback and Ernest Hemingway will just have to wait.
I went to Fort Worth last night to hang out with 2 of my 5 favorite TCU girls, Alicia and Alex (Leslie Kate and Sarah were not there, tear). Met two of their friends. It was lovely. We walked and talked and laughed and Alicia and I quoted Dane Cook and random movies. It was nice.
Thomas and I have decided that going to Wal-Mart around 11PM and buying Chocolate Milk and snacks (including, but not limited to, Cheddar Bunnies, Crispy Wheat Things with Zesty Spices, Ben & Jerry's, and roasted peanuts) and then going to random Carroll Campuses and ingesting said products is some of the most fun ever. I still despise Wal-Mart's evilness, but I'm a night person and there's nothing else open. Damn you Target, closing at 9PM!
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and The Dandy Warhols are some of the best recent rock bands. Jefferson Airplane, The Who, The Beatles, and The Velvet Underground are some of the best from the 1960s. I truly enjoy all the reading and music listening I've been doing this summer. I Heart my iPod. Though iTunes is taking all my money. Must stop buying music. . .
Tonight is Kate's concert thing that Thomas and I are going to. Tomorrow is the Trivial Pursuit Potluck! (yes, yes, I did come up with that idea. no, I don't take drugs).
Miss Eyer is moving this week. A little sad. I should try to see her before she goes. If that's possible. She sould come to the potluck!
They finally stopped tearing up 1709. This is good. They'll probably rip the whole thing up on Monday. They're supposedly expanding it. Way to be 10 years behind on that one guys.
Pam and I saw The DaVinci Code yesterday. It was very poorly written and the cinematography was a bit horrendous. Tom Hanks was completely wrong for the role of Robert Langdon and I must say, his acting has gone a bit downhill lately. The lines were cheesy and made Star Wars look well written. The adaptation of Sophie's character was insulting and annoying; rather then being a smart, capable, cryptologist who helps to solve the clues and contributes as much as Langdon and Teabing, she was reduced to a superficial airhead. Ridiculous. Langdon's role was changed to be more "marketable" to the American public; he took the opposite point of view of Teabing's ideas, claiming they were nothing but theories and myths, and acted as a devout Catholic. His well story was used to disprove the theories presented in the book and affirm that Christianity is the only correct way. Super annoying, considering it was supposed to be an adaptation of a book that said anything but. Above all, the French and English were made to look ridiculous while the American saved the day and solved all the problems. I give it a C minus. Ron Howard, I want my four dollars back. It was a reminder of the serious problems Hollywood is having coming up with good movies lately. We need another Pulp Fiction to shake things up a bit.
Off to consider washing my car, maybe swim a bit, and read. Yay for pleasure reading and summer.
