Tonight is movie night… we rented Ju-on I and II, Kairo, Ringu 2, and some Korean movie which I can’t read the title but it’s something like “the twin sisters”… I’m gonna have to bring a security blanket and an extra pair of underwear I think. Man I’m so psyched to be scared out of my wits again.

Ok, that’s not a creative title or anything, but I don’t have much to say so I just called it the name of the song that I am currently singing. See, I’m at work now in the Academic Resource Center, and iTunes is my best friend. So much better than the radio. I get to listen to muppets, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, Mary Poppins, whatever my heart desires.

So yeah, I’m just sitting in here singing while security guards pop in every now and then to see whom is making the racket. And I’m checking the rsadgame.com forums every 5 minutes to answer the 30 posts that have been added since I last checked. Seriously there have been more posts in the past 2 weeks than there have been in the history of the RSAD Gaming Club. We’re planning what horror movies to watch tomorrow night. I can’t wait to be scared shitless again.

I’m also sketching dwarf heads, bodies, clothes, and accessories for my concept work for Computer Illustration. I really need to plan my video project, since I need to shoot video tomorrow afternoon. Hmm… must not forget to plan what I’m gonna shoot…

I’ll post again when something interesting happens. In the meantime just masterbate or something to keep yourselves busy.

I should also mention that following the horror movies, there’s been a really funny forum discussion about who is more scared, and who is going to die first in the horror movie that is our real lives. You can find the discussion mixed among all of the forums at this site.

Well it’s been a little while since my last update, and a decent amount has happened, so I’ll try to sum it up and then write an extended entry. This weekend was pretty fun — watched a bunch of horror movies and played D&D and DDR as usual. I’ve got a lot of work building up, but I wish I had more… Ringling just seems too easy. Even this semester with 8 projects due I feel like we should be doing 16. I wish I had the motivation to do that myself, but unfortunately I am motivated by deadlines; I will always just meet my deadline no matter how near or or far away it is. I’ve kind of been in a bad mood recently because of this. I want to be pushed a lot harder, but I don’t have the discipline to force myself to work harder on my own. It’s rather sad, actually. It is something I need to work on in the rest of the semester.

Plain and simple, the title says it all.

Let me start by saying that our school has no mail service whatsoever, so we can’t send letters, let alone packages from campus. So I drive to the Post Office. Through downtown Sarasota. Sarasota is one of the few places on Earth that has worse driving conditions than, say, New York, Los Angeles, or the surface of the Sun.

I guess that means I’m having fun. I can’t believe we’re 1/3 through the semester, and in a couple weeks it will be Spring Break. That’s just insane. I’m not ready to be a college graduate yet, but it’s creeping up on me really fast.

On a side note, it’s pretty interesting how my school celebrates Black History Month. Outside this room there are 2 black people and 2 white people bouncing around to some loud hip-hop music (which we all know is the most important cultural contribution by and most culturally representative aspect of African Americans) under a big Black History Month poster. Nowhere are there any facts about Martin Luther King, or George Washington Carver, Rosa Parks, or Langston Hughes. Nowhere is there a list of famous accomplishments made by blacks. Nothing educational, nothing factual. Just loud hip-hop music.

Anyway, back to the topic. There is so much that I want to accomplish and so little time to do it in. I still have a year of school left after this one, so it’s not such a big deal, but I’m amazed that I got this far without even realizing it. Time just seems to move more quickly the longer you live. I wonder if senior citizens see life all in fast motion… Since fast motion always makes things look funny, the old equation of time flying equalling fun seems to ring true. Old people must be the happiest people on Earth.

…Reading over this post, it is clear to me that I didn’t get enough sleep last night…

This is just a quick update so that I can post my Mama Fratelli picture.
