Secret Secretions

I made some cool flash stuff today, and I was all set to put it up and online, but when I saw it online I was appalled at how bad it looked. So, I censored myself, which is something I don't do too often. It wasn't that the animations were bad or anything, just that the edges of the movie were too apparent which left big gaping white spaces on the page. I was ready to just let it go, but then I realized that if I did that I'd be compromising the integrity of my work, and I'd never ascend above my lazy habits. It's like when you make a concious effort to close every loop of every letter when you are writing, and that's supposed to help you keep secrets, because un-closed loops denote loose-lips, or so says the book my sister got at the book-faire in 3rd grade.So, you have to wait for me to finish up my creation, and in turn I'll become a better person. You'll probably get better too, because you'll learn the value of patience or some shit like that.

Abandon hope for future plans
Tomorrow (saturday) could very well be the last trip to TDR that I'll ever have the pleasure to take. Chad Matheney is going to pay for me and Erica to go with him to The Terrace Dining Room, American University's all-you-can-eat on-campus-eatery. Chad graduates in a few days and while his future is only beginning, his meal-plan will be ending, and the legacy may die. I'll have to say goodbye to "Wok Island" and the place where you can make your own Belgian Waffles... I'm going to eat so much, and be uncomfortably bloated for the rest of the day, and if I cry, they will be tears of both joy and regret. Am I still writing?

Doing my Duty

Jury Duty went off without a hitch on Tuesday. I went in, sat around, got called into a courtroom with about 50 other people, and they began asking questions to whittle out the biased jurors. The whole process took a long time, and I think I could've ended up giving a pretty impartial verdict regarding the possible theft and unauthorized usage of a 1987 Suburban, but I didn't get to. When all was said and done, they filled the jury-box before even CONSIDERING me. It was a shame too, because by the end of the day (around 3pm) I was thinking about the possibility of making $30 a day (and the case would have taken at least 2 days), but since they didn't need me, I only got the $4 transportation allowance, and nothing more, and I spent about $6 on food at the courthouse and $1 in subway fare (one way) so I wound up paying $3 so that I could attend jury duty. It's probably better that I didn't get selected though, because I'm about as indecisive as they come and I would hate to have someone's fate resting in my hands, or 1/12 of the fate in my hands anyways.

OTher things... You know, OTHER THINGS...

I've been trying to get some shopping done around these partsand i've managed to make a few purchases that I've been proud of, although I've been spending beyond my means, which only makes the time until I need work sooner. I have been coming up with more ideas for Flash things, but they will take initiative and effort, which are things I hesitate to invoke, which is why my life isn't everything I want it to be (long-term anyways, it's damn-close in the short-term). I'm still not sure what I want my parents to get me for the holidays. I am still welcoming suggestions, because I tend to shut-out the outside world so that I don't know what's new and exciting, plus I have way too much stuff as it is to ever feel bored with what I have. Then, when the trends die and the world moves along, I come along and scoop up the bargains! What are YOU getting that you're excited about? We can make this blog a two-way conduit, but only if we try. Laster, losers.

Goodbye Brent skies, Hello Blue

Brent left today, and kevin leaves tomorrow with Allen, so things are going to slow down around here for a little while. I'm hoping that it will afford me an opportunity to concentrate on working on my resume and sending it out. It's not that my friends stop me from being productive, just that I am easily distracted.

Here's a three minute mystery to sum up the past few days, can you figure it out?

Viva la fiesta
Kevin awoke to the sound of a garbled low-pitched alien voice bellowing "Hey! Give me four!". He opened his eyes to see ALF's face on the floor next to him. His memory of the previous night was spotty at best, and his mind raced trying to find a logical explanation for why he now lay half naked in his bed, swaddled in his sheets and staring at a 1-1/2 foot talking stuffed animal. He started to stand up, but as he put pressure on his foot he felt a stinging pain. He noticed that his pant-leg was thoroughly soaked, as was the bed he had been laying upon. "Could I have wet the bed?" he wondered in horror, pausing slightly to ponder more sinister explanations of the dampness which could also explain ALF's prescence, but he quickly dismissed these possibilities. He hadn't been THAT drunk the night before, HAD he?

Other happenings

Brent's visit was awesome, if brutally short. It's always good to see him and when we hang out it is a guaranteed fun time. Being around my good friends reminds me that I can be a pretty reserved person. I'm pretty good at listening, but I want to be better at thinking things through, having clear ideas, and just talking in general.

Kevin got a lot of crap from everyone this weekend, but it was all because we think he's a super dude and plus when you make fun of him he threatens to kill you, stab you, or else he just attacks you. I'm going to miss him being around in the coming week.

Erica is making chili and she, like pizzahut, makes it great.

I gotta go.
