So I'm Human, After All

OK, so this was a dramatic bust. I managed a whopping TWO (2) consecutive weeks of posting. To give you, gentle reader, the smallest insight into my mentality, understand that after missing the post on week 3, I became discouraged, and was too lazy to continue posting. I told myself that I had already failed at my goal, and so I took a trip to self-fulfillment town.

But enough about that. I won't make any dramatic "I'm Back!" statements, because, for all I know, this will be my last post for another three months. This post will be no celebration, because we celebrate achievement of goals, not stepping towards goals. It is only the last step that really matters, after all, the actual achieving what you set out to do.

But I digress. I am now going to Cheat, with a capitol "C", and do something my friend FUZZY does from time to time. It will make this post both entertaining and succinct, two things I have, thus far, failed to be. Without further ado, I give you:

SCATTER SHOT POST NO. 1 V. 2.0.4354, BETA:

  • Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian are some movies that have come out recently. I have seen them all, and, on a scale from 1 to 10, I give them (in no particular order) 6.5, 7, and 9.
  • With The Incredible Hulk coming out this summer, and Samuel L's appearance in the conclusion of Iron Man, I am downright giddy at the prospect of an Avengers movie. The comic book nerd inside me squeals with joy at the thought.
  • Ant Man might just be pushing it.
  • I am not currently at this second a student, for those of you interested. Although everyone knows that I will be an eternal student (unlike some losers.)
  • I am, however, currently a successful gas station attendant. I work at a truck stop, so maybe "gas station" is misleading, but all I really do is run a cash register and make coffee. Not the most fulfilling work in the world, but it pays the bills. Well, it doesn't do that, either, but it's my closest approximation of that for the time being.
  • I am also looking forward to the next semester. Better apartment, new classes with mostly material I don't already know, and I get to live with Lana again.
  • In other news, I am living with dad for the summer. Close to work, and you can't beat the rent, but still. I digress.
  • Expect a post in the near future detailing my adventures in the Big City. For now, suffice it to say that I spent a weekend in April in New York City, and I just couldn't get enough of it.
  • On a parting note, I am spending most of my free time learning PHP and the MySQL system. And by "most of my free time", I obviously mean that I have become absorbed in Angel, and once I finish season 5, I will actually dedicate a real amount of time to it. If I don't decide to start Lost.
I guess that is all. I hope to post something more thoughtful later this week or next week sometime. Maybe something about the blatant sexism in certain television shows, or about parties' organizational meetings being the center of their own full day of television... I don't know. Probably something about television, and almost definitely not about the Singularity.
