• New profile picture! of me! with corn! somewhere in the midwest! its like where’s waldo, redneck edition.

  So being all in a funk about the anatomy practical, i decided the only
  thing i could do to cheer myself up was to go see a terrible terrible
  movie. I am talking so bad its good because clearly no one involved in
  the film is taking it seriously. SO what movie did i choose?

  Doom. Starring The Rock. I love watching movies with the Rock. they
  never fail to bring a smile to my face because hey sometimes you just
  dont want to think, you would rather just watch motion and people and
  colors and shiny things and yes i am aware that maturity-wise, i am
  just  this side of a crack-addled five year old, but you know what?

  SO’S YOUR FACE

  

  Anyway, the film was worth every penny i paid to see it ($4 at the
  ghetto theater, one of the few advantages middle of nowhere illinois
  has over L.A.) and cheered up my whole day. I strongly recommend you go
  see it. Hey, it was top box office this weekend, it has to have
  something going for it, yesno?

  It has recently been brought to my attention that for some reason my
  speech patterns contain a larger than normal amount of 50′s lingo. That
  is to say, i insert words like tomfoolery, shenanigans, and peachy keen
  into my everyday speech. I was not aware i was doing this to such a
  great extent people needed to warn me of it, but i am okay with it. I
  am NOT my own grandpa, but i do apparently talk like him.

  Histo exam coming up on wednesday. This is not to make excuse for my
  posting few and far between, just to tell you people because if you are
  still coming here and/or subscribing you have at least a passing
  interest in what i do with my time. so there you are

  Also giving you all random updates on my life gives me a reason to
  post, which i now feel oddly compelled to do since Wenyin told me she
  has now told more people to read this. like i have to put on my best
  face for nonexistent strangers who may or may not check this out, when
  i have all you loyal followers here to laugh at my antics.

  Be that as it may, whenever i have gone too long without posting i feel
  weirdly nervous and when this happens, i tend to make my posts at least
  somewhat more narrative and me-based, because narrative is the rubber
  raft we cling to when shipwrecked on the textual ocean and the brutal
  blinking cursor is beating down on us like the sun, and also on the
  raft is that one guy who drank seawater and now he is ranting and loony
  and the rest of us are all looking at each other and silently agreeing
  to eat him
