Having an Epica time

In college you can kind of just tell who all the REALLY lame people are based on how often they jump at the opportunity to talk about their awesome drinking skills and their lame stories about them and their heretofore nameless friends. THAT is a fact of life, you know it to be true! These kinds of people are so convinced that they are awesome that they will spread it to the world, whether or not we want to hear it at all.

It really gets quite annoying that every time I go into work at RenXchange, my telemarketing job, I am immediately met with scores of lame nerds (remember, I'm a nerd too, but at least I don't play Warcraft and talk about the internet and forums all the time right? Doesn't that count for something?) who, in a desperate attempt to feel cool, talk about nothing but how awesome they are at going to parties and drinking and doing all sorts of shenanigans. Don't get me wrong, parties are fun and all but it's just proof of your own boring life if you have top dwell on these things long enough after the fact to have to explain that there was no snow on the ground when they took place--some crucial piece of information when you're describing that beach bikini party that clearly didn't happen in the past 3 months what with all frostbite and whatnot.

Basically, next time you want to tell me how many beers you drank this past weekend, save it for someone who cares, if you think I want to hear it, then don't hold your breath.

Oh yeah, and noone on facebook cares about you finding your lonely cows on farmville.

The Epica concert was, to say the least, epic. Too bad I left my camera, there were plenty of fellows there taking pictures! Maybe 70% of the people in attendance were huge nerds--when the band's cover of the Imperial March from Star Wars played, the entireity of the Worcester Palladium was thrown into a high state of chaos.

I finished my first Creative Writing assignment for realsies today ("Poor Little Lambs")--accessible via Tom and my writing blog "Some Form of Singularity". Or you could drop me a line and I'll send a copy! ;)

The Start of Something New

School started yesterday--another chance to have a fun semester, which is actually a possibility this time since I have (mostly) easy classes.

Philosophy of Math is exactly what it sounds like--a bunch of poppycock and something that no doubt all the mathematics students will be taking way too seriously. Hopefully they will find my snide remarks about math being nothing but a cute game we play with strict rules to be EXTRA offensive--could make for a few fun times methinks!

Creative Writing is a course where we write short stories--I should be cranking at least one of these out per week this semester so I'll post some of the ones I feel better about!

Writing About Science is going to be quite the chore--our teacher has this idea of us all becoming accomplished writers in order to beef-up HIS resume (he wouldn't stop talking about his prior students and how he made their lives so much better).

This weekend my partner in crime came down to Troyland, America's armpit. We tore this town down and yes--Legion accepted my free Regal Cinema ticket. Good thing too because it was the worst movie I had ever seen--even blowing out a certain movie I saw with my dad nearly a decade ago...Defintiely see "The Book of Eli" though--that was up there with the Mad Max trilogy in terms of awesome dystopian flicks.

As I think of it, most movies I see with my dad end up sucking...Remember "Reign of Fire"? Yeah, that lot. On the topic of dragon-ey movies, this one looks kind of cute...

Santa's Got Nothing to Lose

The idea of Santa Clause as a serial killer is not one that I haven't heard of. As a matter of fact, I'd actually be surprised if he wasn't a murderer. Just think--guy who sneaks around giving toys to youngsters by breaking into their houses via the Chimney? It's all just a terror plot to remind us all that we're never safe from him--you'd better not pout, nor cry, cause he sees you when you're sleeping...be good for goodness sake! That's why the movie "Santa's Slay" (<--starring the wrestler Goldberg, movie picture at left) touches me on a level that few other horror movies can--it just plain makes sense--or as much sense as any OTHER flick in the genre could. Ridiculous? What are some of your favorite B-movies?


Josh said that he had a dream where elves came into his room here at DHMC and mopped his floor. He gets moved to the Boston area either tomorrow or the following day so he had better be ready for phase 2 of his recovery adventure! As it were I think his rehab center is right nearby the bus station that I arrive at when visiting my Sarah so surely I could stop in to see him every once in a while!

In the world of Sarah news, we were able to finally view "Nothing to Lose" on a sweet hotel TV/DVD/VHS player combo. Turns out I had already seen most of the movie on TBS or one of those stations that only show crap these days.

Planning on buying a DVR this week so I can finally burn DVD's of my TV shows and stuff--too often have I missed my chances to forever snag my favorite episodes on the Chiller Channel, and I still have no clue how "Witchboard" ends...
