checking out

So I saw American Beauty and took probably the easiest midterm ever created. We had *seven* short answer question about it, like "Give an example of planting and payoff that involves a line of dialogue" and "Describe the conflict (chase/escape) in a scene of dialogue." Now some of the terms may not be familiar to you, but we've been talking about this shit for *seven* weeks, so I knew what I was talking about. But to top it all off, the T.A. (Don, our teacher, is in Germany writing a mini-series. He said it's going to be similar to *Se7en* only with the Ten Commandments) said that Don told him we could work together, talk amongst ourselves if need be. Hell, he said if we really wanted we could take it home and turn it in next week. There was even a whole page of easy-ass extra credit. I do love my major.

So I was talking to Mr. Mark Bernachea last night, and I said "New blog is up," and he said something very interesting.

"I'm done with that fad."

That got me thinking. All I do on this thing is tell you people about mundane details about college life, and in all honesty, it's boring ass shit. So I've come to a decision. I'm not completely done, but I'm going to cut back. No more meaningless updates. I'll take a page out of Bernachea's book and save up a couple of good stories for a good post, but other than that I don't really see a point in continuing to tell you about my day, every day. I'll probably keep the recently seen movie section going, and maybe the music, but unless something really cool happens I'm probably not going to write anything. There's always the possibility that I get struck with inspiration, and of course then I'll do a post, but seriously, when have I ever been struck with inspiration?

So this is probably the last post for a while. I can't really think of anything in the upcoming weekend that would be remotely interesting, unless something cool happens at work. The Mars Volta concert is a week from Friday, so I imagine that will be the next thing I'll want to talk about. So good night, and good luck.

Oh yeah, say goodbye to your life, because this shit will consume you. If anyone gets the fourth one, let me know, because all signs point to LSD but no dice.




Are you smart enough to take the riddle challenge?

That's all.
