it’s always depressing after the holidays; the afterglow is blindingly gloomy. writing this with gelid fingers (this always happens here, since it’s cold down in my room), i’ve not much to say right now, since I ought to be sleeping soon. tired a bit… it’s been a weird day, although i’ve not been awake long. I got fucking ripped off on that Star Wars Trilogy I got conned into buying today by false advertising, but otherwise things were good. I’m too tired to write about much on here. the highlight of my day came just now actually — Jenn had gotten her pictures developed at Walmart and gotten a picture CD of them, and she just sent me all of them! I will post them in my next entry for sure. I’m going to Medford tomorrow (well, this) morning to see my baby cousins Max and Audrey (7 and 4 now, I believe, respectively), as well as Tom and Anne. I haven’t really seen them since the start of August, so it’s been awhile. that’ll be nice, but it kinda sucks I’ll be gone for two days — Allison wanted to hang out either tomorrow or Wednesday, since she’s going home to Portland on Thursday. oh well — I’ll see her sometime while I’m here. I know I’ma go crazy if I can’t.
yeah… I actually don’t have much to say right now. if i launch into anything, I’ll have to go through it all, and I don’t have time to do so now. actually… let me tell you what I got with the $240 Christmas money I got (I still have about $110 left):
- Star Wars Trilogy (this I mistakenly thought was of the original movies; I can’t return it now since it was opened. fuck. gave it to Anna. put me $40 in the hole)
- American Pie “3-Movie Pie Pack” – all three movies for $16 at BEST BUY!!! i couldn’t believe they were so motherfucking cheap. I’ve been wanting these forever.
- The Virgin Suicides ($11 or so) — I’ve heard such great things about this movie. AIR did the beautiful soundtrack for it, and thus I heard the movie was great too. At such a low price, I can’t go too wrong, and hey, everyone else said it was great.
- Team America: World Police (uncensored/unrated; $22?) — fucking hysterical. I rented this awhile back, and somehow I fell asleep for part of it — not cos of the movie but due to tiredness, and I watched it tonight with Anna. she died laughing at “America (FUCK YEAH!)”
- Ernest Goes to Camp ($7) — one of the funniest movies ever. me and Anna used to watch this all the time as kids, and we laughed our motherfucking asses off.
- Ernest Scared Stupid ($7) — same. hysterical.
in addition to these fine films, I got two shirts at Hot Topic (I know, it’s a gay emo place to go, oh well) — this and this. The first is the poster for a movie from the 60s called Blood Feast, and Jenn had seen it there last week and thought I’d like it. she actually showed me it today at Valley River, and the 2nd one is the poster for Dawn of the Dead, which I am a huge fan of as well. fucking A. I will talk all about everything later though… right now I need to get some sleep. much love, and I’ll see you all on the flipside. pZ.

last night (friday 23 dec) was motherfucking amazing.
thank you to all of you wonderful souls that came… i love you all, especially Vanessa and Lauriellen! woooo. the party started off a bit slow, but we got shit going… I think Vanessa and her crew helped save the night somewhat too. but we end up throwing a good party at Jenn’s, long as we got illy people coming, and we always do. anyways, let me rewind a bit and talk about earlier on. you know that I have ended up taking lots of pics lately, and they’re for posterity (i promise!)… and I took quite a few earlier on (cf. last post), perhaps giving you the idea that i’m extremely narcissistic. not at all, but if you give me a camera, I will do my best to look presentable and cool. or i’ll surround myself with girls… that always helps. i treasure pics of me and my girl friends above just about everything really… well, unless I had a girlfriend — me and Jenn didn’t take that many pics when we were together, and I dunno why, but oh well. be forewarned — there are a lot of thumbnails in the midst of this post! (more…)

oh my fucking god. I just looked at my grades (which I’ve been diligently checking every day to see if the rest get posted), and I pulled a fucking A- in Aristophanes! HALLELUJAH!!!! i’m so fucking happy. now we need to wait for the verdict on Greek, but I’m sure it’s the same if not better! I was fucking righteously terrifed of the grade in Aristophanes, but my professor either 1) took mercy on me, or 2) my paper kicked serious ass. I think it’s a mixture of both, really. my first term of grad school was a relative success, then! ahhhh…. anyways, I am going over to Jenn’s in a bit to help set up for her party at 21.00, and it’s gonna be bomb as hell — Vanessa is going to be there, Lauriellen is too (joy!), and Ash might even come (I’m actually asking her about that as I write) — oh yes. I can’t wait.
I’ll write more about today later on. for now, I leave you with pics and lots of them. I’ll try to make them sized correctly, but we’ll see what happens with it (cf. a couple posts ago, lol, at least before I resized things). so here goes. first off, I’ll put up my pictures with lovely, dear Ash, which she took last night… how blessed I was. below! click for fullsize, as always… I look like kind of a fucking gomer in these first two, but oh well. i was happy.
i’ve got some other pics that I took today. in hopes of not cluttering up the space on here, however, I’m just going to post links to them. when i publish this, we’ll iron out those problems, but for now, rest your eyes if you don’t want to see all these. a lot of these will probably go on my myspace, and I might even use one for the ‘profile’ kinda pic on here, so enjoy.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 eyes#1 eyes#2 eyes#3
i dunno which I should put on my myspace, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. i’ll put one up as the pic on here in the meantime. much love, and I hope you’re all having a wonderful break thus far. I’ll write vastly more later I’m sure. heheh.

”…I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”
- Franz Kafka, The Castle (italics mine)
it’s been a beautiful couple days. the above quote is one of my favourites lately — when I read it while reading that book, it tripped me the fuck out, especially the part I italicised, and I dogeared the page so I would remember to quote it later. Kafka is a fucking genius. anyways… after going to sleep mad late on Wednesday morning, I woke up around 14.00 that day. i believe Claude called me, but I can’t remember. it’s kinda fuzzy. these days are running together for me somewhat. I was supposed to go see Harry Potter with Jenn, but I didn’t have any money; she also wanted to go Christmas shopping as well, but no money is not conducive to shopping. hence, ignominiously, I called my grandma, and I asked her for some cash, since she knows I’m broke and such… and she said she could spare some, thankfully. I felt so bad asking her, because I hate to ask anyone for money, but at the same time, she’s my grandma, so she understands. I told her I’d be over in a little while, and I thus jumped in the shower and got dressed and all. (more…)

I. PROOIMION
my intro: I’m now splitting this into parts just before I collapse (Wed 21 Dec 2005 06.20). have a wonderful day, and I hope you’re all able to wade through this. sorry it’s so fucking long. heheh. this narrative starts talking about Friday (note: “Greek final today” means Friday).
Let me start by stating that I believe I may be getting sick. have a slight cold, sore throat, runny nose. made me miserable during the Greek final today (later, though). my fingers are gelid from the external cold, and I have a nagging feeling that I ought to close the bedroom window before I leave tomorrow night for home. oh, it’s been a fucking wonderful couple days, even amid finals and tests, and I’m completely full of love right now. this could just be the alkyhol, but I doubt it. I had such a fucking wonderful time tonight with Donni and her friends, and this night was fucking epic. so allow me to enlighten you all concerning these glorious events, no? a note first: i have apparently lost the ability to recall entire conversations and the various branching paths they have taken, so do not strike me down if I can’t remember exactly what was said; think of Thucydides. I will give you an epitome of things rather than them verbatim. (more…)
