back with a vengeance

Procrastination is like that friend who calls you when he's two minutes from your house and tells you to get your ass in the shower because he's picking you up to go to a massive party. So you shower in record time, and you needed it since it's Saturday and you hadn't showered since Thursday because you don't have class on Friday, and Procrastination shows up and takes you to this sweet ass party. But then you end up drinking too much, and you think somebody slipped eye drops in your drink because you are puking up a storm. In between puke sessions, you still try to have a good time, but the girl with the Secret Machines t-shirt just isn't giving up the goods, and you're working your two minute offense because you know that when time expires, you're gonna be puking again. And all the while Procrastination isn't even there, because he's getting laid upstairs. He doesn't even take you home. You gotta call your ex-girlfriend who you're sorta friends with now that it's not awkward anymore since she got all her CDs back that she had left in your car. You call Procrastination the next day, but he doesn't answer. He finally calls you back at like 1:30 in the morning and gives you some bullshit about being at work all day (despite the fact it's Sunday) and he asks you if you want him to pick you up and go to another party, but you flip on him and tell him that it's fucking Sunday and you have 10 o'clock class the next day. You end up hanging up on him and wondering how the fuck he has so much time to party and you have to struggle your ass off to get a shot of Skol.

So, to interpret this incredibly long metaphor, Procrastination seems like a cool guy, but believe me, Procrastination's a bitch. But no matter how many times he screws you over, you know in the back of your head that he knows where the best parties are and you keep hanging out with him anyway.

I gotta stop putting off my screenwriting homework. I got it done, but it wasn't too quality. So I'm gonna start telling Procrastination to fuck off because I got other shit to do. Of course, I say that now, but I'm not gonna do my homework for Monday until Sunday night. We all know it.

The Decemberists are playing in Pomona tonight for 15 bucks. I want to go, but it's probably too late. I should have told people about this earlier in the week, but I didn't think about it until today. More concert potential for the rest of the month:

• 9/20 - Bloc Party at the Hollywood Paladium in Hollywood, CA for 22.50
• 9/20 - Interpol at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA for 35.00
• 9/21 - The Black Keys at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, CA for 15.00
• 9/23 - The Kills at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA for 15.00
• 9/24 - Dave Chappelle at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, CA for 28.25-48.25
• 9/30 - My Chemical Romance (the only reason I care is because Bradley told me the Secret Machines were playing a show with them in Milwaukee so I'm hoping maybe they show up here too) at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in Los Angeles, CA for 25.00

i have a mission of sorts for anybody who attends santa monica city college. actually, its a big favor and i don't know how i'd repay for it, but if you go to santa monica city college and happen to see alex m from "laguna beach" there. you know, the tall blonde skinny girl thats in love with kirstin. yeah if you see her at santa monica city college, for me, tell her that you love the character she plays on "laguna beach."

skeet on mischa is one of my favorite blogs. The guy (I think) goes to Pepperdine and is studying film, so he knows a lot of shit that I'm interested in. I hear about a lot of bands from this dude. LCD Soundsystem would be a mystery to me if it weren't for him. He's funny too. I thank you, Doug Reinhardt, for being so fucking cool. I missed the OC last night, but I more or less know what happens. If you read the whole post on that blog, he talks about why the OC has gone downhill, and I want to learn more about this. Apparently the first season was amazing, and the second season just disappointed. I liked what I saw of the second season, but I guess I'm not really qualified to say it's good.

I completely lied on Christina's blog. Check the comments about the international Harry Potter trailer (which is fucking incredible by the way). But I'm not lying when I say that you guys have to wait a week to see Corpse Bride, while I'm seeing it tonight (I hope, at least that's the plan). But back to the Harry Potter trailer. I always thought it was gonna be fucking incredible since Goblet of Fire was my favorite book, but I wasn't sure about a few things. Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moody just didn't look right to me, or at least not what I had imagined. But then I heard him talk in the new trailer and he works just fine. More than fine I'd say. John Williams isn't doing the music for this one, but that can be forgiven, just as long as they use what he's already done for the last ones in this one. The CG on the mermaids looked sketchy in the first trailers. They look better now. Hermione has definitely gotten cuter since Sorcerer's Stone too. The only thing that still bothers me is Ron's "worried face" or whatever fucking emotion he's getting at. It just bugs me, he looks like a whimpering puppy. So Ron, you're supposed to be 14 now. Let's get out of the "whiny bitch" stage and get into the brooding teenager that we all know you're going to become. Once Hermione cockteases the shit out of you, you'll be brooding alright. Trust me, I know. But other than that, I metaphorically shit myself when I watched this trailer and it's a goddamn shame I have to wait TWO MONTHS to watch the damn thing. Maybe they're polishing the CG even more.

Job training starts Sunday. That's all I have to say about that. Alright well I think you guys are about up to speed. Wow, I just had a brilliant idea. I think I'm gonna start posting some of the stuff I write for screenwriting. Feedback always helps me out, and you guys were always my best critics. I don't know when I'm gonna start doing that, but it sounds like a good idea right now. I'll sit on it for a few days and see if it hatches.

Currently enjoying:

The music video for LCD Soundsystem's "Tribulations." Incredible.

Next ish: Read this. Now, I'm not trying to start anything, but I thought it was funny. If you wanna bitch to someone, bitch to the Onion. I'll have a lot to talk about soon. My job, Corpse Bride, the development of my comic book, so keep checking, I'll probably put something up again before the end of the weekend.
