I'll give your movie a try Alison, but some dude on IMDB called it the worst movie ever! If you know me this means I'll want to watch it more!

Well, in the name of spending time watching movies with friends, I'm spreading the word...
Friends With Money at the Princess 7pm, tonight. (it's likely a chick-flick, just to pre-warn you)

Taylor, maybe they can't handle the blood and guts. sometimes one's sense of what's 'cool' is entirely different from other people, not that there's anything wrong with that. I've seen movies with horridly gory scenes that I, too, thought were cool, but others nearly puked. And I've been in the reverse, where I nearly puked too. So, you know, it can happen.
In other news, Access TV (channel 9) has the PRINCESS BRIDE on right now
thanks, Percy and Albert for the words. It's not a new feeling for me. certainly wanderlust is something I've had for years (and it gets stronger each time I travel somewhere). I fight a rather strong urge to drive out to the highway each time I hit the whitemud. I think things are just starting to come to a head because I've committed to this thing for probably 2-3 years, and it's different from an undergrad because there's so much more on me, and it's a commitment one can't get out of like taking a year off of your bachelor's, plus I've roped people in to vouching for me, and putting a mountain of faith in me. And yesterday was weird. suddenly I had my supervisors talking to me, helping me plan things, but I still was left with this feeling of missing substance. We spent four hours planning things and got as far as me burying temperature sensors in the ground, nothing much else. hopefully things will improve. I know Simon's looking out for me, so I have 1/2 of my super-crew at least!

I did two awesome things last night:
1. I drank beer and ate deer.
2. I watched Silent Hill.
After band practice I went to my friend's parent's house. Her dad was excited to have me over because he only has 2 daughters and so there's hardly ever any guys in the house. So as soon as I walk in the door he's like "hey, here's a beer" and he promptly turns on the hockey game. It was pretty wicked. And then he barbecued deer steaks for us! Man, I never ate deer before but it was pretty tasty. We also made baked potatoes with swiss cheese and fried mushrooms, and ate bean-salad and cheese bread on the side. It was awesome.
Then we went to see Silent Hill. It was pretty good actually. But it wasn't nearly as scary as I had hoped it would be. Rather, it was mostly just "gross". But the good kind of gross that makes you go "coooooolll", so it was pretty fun visually. There were hardly any people in the theater at all, but even still I counted 6 people walking out on the movie. Man, they must be real pussies because I honestly didn't find anything scary about it. But then again, I semi-regularly have dreams that are as equally fucked up as that so maybe I'm abnormally used to that shit. If I was to compare that movie to anything, I would say it's similar to the movie "the Cell" except with better actors and a much better storyline. The reason I say this is because the Cell isn't particularly scary either, but it likewise has a lot of twisted visuals. There was this one part where this demon-girl holds up her arms and they light on fire and I was just like "my wrists are on fire". That shit cracked me up. But seriously, that movie is just fucked up enough that you should probably go see it.

Alison, it sounds like the problem you are describing requires a number of decisions. I'm not sure what's been going on but I think you have to deal with your super. You feel as if your life will be dictated from week to week. That only tells me that you've been sucked into life's pace. I say decide on what you're going to do and if you don't know where you're going with your life then make it up and happen.
Fight Alison! You're of the most intelligent people I know and I expect you to stomp on all who oppose you (figure of speech).

Sweet! I can get Brembos for my car for under $1000, front and back disc! All I need now is bigger sway bars in the front and back, A tower strut bar, and replacement for my bushings. What does this all mean to you? Nothing really, unless you happen to be in the Blue Bomber with me...

Huh... Some quandry Alison. Sometimes a person feels empty no matter how much they try to fill their lives they will always be empty. They aren't depressed or anything, sometimes that is how it is. I don't think your in this type of situation, probally just wanderlust. Get it out of your system and then plan from there.
