week in a flash (week 16)

1. I really don’t like being on Wi-Fi – it frequently has issues that prevent me from working smoothly on the ‘net and several times in the last few days it has spontaneously disconnected…stupid Wi-Fi…

2. Linkin Park’s new album drops tomorrow eeeeeee!!!!!  Here’s a little preview in case you care – this is their video for their first single “Catalyst,” I love their music videos so much and this one is no exception it’s just so beautiful and raw.  Enjoy!

3. The Afters also have an album that drops tomorrow and their first single, “Light Up the Sky” currently enjoying a lot of radio play is just amazing.

4. It seems that my professors really like the word “explode” I must’ve heard it a dozen times last week…

5. We are discussing Plato in my Lit Crit class and it’s kind of fun – Plato’s theory of forms is fascinating even if I do disagree with it.  You see he contends that the poet is dangerous because they present the people with an imitation of an imitation (there’s the ideal world and then the material world where we reside that is simply an imitation of the ideal world) and by doing so they move people further away from discovering Ultimate Truth.  Like I said I disagree, mostly because (by his definition) I am a poet so although I grin at being called dangerous I don’t like to be accused of imitating an imitation and moving people further away from Truth since the opposite is in fact my goal.

6. Days to graduation = 65 (again not counting weekends and holidays)

7. I really like coffee.

8. Currently reading Alan LeMay’s The Searchers – it’s the novel that Ford’s movie of the same name is based on.  John Wayne is in the starring role.  It’s for my Topics class and after reading what I’ve read so far I’m really looking forward to seeng the movie.

9. Saw John Ford’s Stagecoach last week it was one of the first starring roles that John Wayne had and it was amazing!  I’m not a huge fan of Westerns but I loved that movie.

week in a flash (week 10)

1. I know I put up a post just a few days ago that I wouldn’t be doing week-in-a-flash but by my count that would’ve been for the week of the 20th to the 27th so this counts for that week plus the 28th through the 1st (today).  So if you look it really has been two weeks since I last did week-in-a-flash, hence “week 10”.  The next one will be around the 8th.

2. I am officially done with my summer class (which has corrupted me with AP style writing, don’t know what that is?  Just pick up your newspaper and you’ll get an example) and got a paper from a past class turned in so I can get that ‘incomplete’ taken off my transcript.  Joy!

3. So I didn’t sleep all day today (Sunday) but I slept most of the day and it was nice considering this is really the last weekend for a while that I’ll have to do nothing.  (For those of you for whom this might not make sense, it pertains to a post I made on my Facebook last night saying “I think I’ll sleep all day tomorrow…”)

4. I finish up my internship the end of this week…sad :(

5. So then next week I start packing and cleaning my apt and looking for a new one…yes I am moving but it’s back to the town that my college is actually in so I don’t have to try and commute 40 miles through winter conditions for my last semester of school

6. Whoa!  Next semester is my last semester of school…wow…

7. It was so freaking hot here yesterday that even though I had the A/C cranked all day I still must have drank 10 or 12 glasses of water, unbelievable!

8. Hey it’s August, wow my summer has flown by, how about you guys?  Has it felt like these past few months just vanished?

9. So the past few days I’ve turned my TV off, for no reason really I just decided that I didn’t want the noise of it…which is odd because it usually doesn’t bother me but it’s been nice

10. How is it that you can be having a great day with conversations with some of the nicest people in the world and you get that one phone call from some throwback who calls you stupid and your whole day is ruined?.

11. Went for a walk in the park located a few blocks from my house the other day, just because I wanted to.  It was very relaxing but I was kind of saddened by the fact that I’ve lived a few blocks away from this park for three years and this is the first time I’ve gone down there when there hasn’t been some event going on. 

12. I met my parents last weekend to trade vehicles so my dad could get Jack the Jeep looked at and fixed (if need be) so I’m driving my Honda Baby again and after a week I’ve decided – I miss my Jeep.  :(

13. School starts at the end of the month, woohoo!

14. I have a confession to make – I am a packrat (probably one of the numerous reasons I hate moving).
