It's the End of the World as we Know it!

Do you feel fine?

Hah. What a cheesey title.
But no, really. The world is supposedly possibly going to end on Wednesday. Or maybe approximately four years from Wednesday.
A Welsh Physicist is flipping the switch of a giant atomic generator on Wednesday in order to try and recreate the environment of the Big Bang. This may be totally groundbreaking and awesome for science, or it will be literally groundbreaking and cause black holes to errupt all over the planet, effectively destroying life.
I don't think it will really destroy the world, but you can't help but think... what if it does?

All I can say is, the knowledge of the apocalypse possibly happening on Wednesday is making reading for 18th Century Novel harder to focus on than it was before.


To read about it for yourself, check out this handy article my friend Greg sent me.

First Post of September!

My friend Greg sent me a link to this video. It's a commercial for a German energy company called Epuron. It won an award at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes like a year ago or something. My professional opinion: I think it's a cute commercial!






The semester has begun. My classes don't seem too difficult so far, just very heavy homework loads. I will hopefully be able to manage it... however, I doubt I'll have the time to work on CR. I want to, but I really shouldn't... I'll see how I feel when auditions roll around.

Dream Writing...

So, last night I had more bizarre dreams. First, I had to fight some dude in the ghost level of Mario 64; he was a villain based off some sort of Beanie Baby. Then I was on a train playing bad video games with Jon (who just happened to be on the same train as me to get somewhere else) and some random woman he was sitting next to. Then we were at a carnival still playing bad video games; one was called "Angels v.s. Predator" and was about Charles Angel's versus... Predator. And it turns out that the video game was based on a book, and Lucy Lu was there doing book signings on it. Everyone went inside to get one, there was also some other sort of event going on in the building, but in order to get in you needed a signed book. Which cost $17, which I didn't find out till I got to her. I had been the last in line (as usual) so everyone else had already paid and gone in. I just turned around and went back inside. At some point before then, I had said jokingly that my goal in life was to write an awesome book that got made into a really bad video game. For some reason, I meant it seriously in the dream and starting thinking of ways to turn the carnival we were at into a bad video game. Then I got an actual idea for a story and sat down on a bench to write it down in the notebook Andy gave me from China.
Then I woke up and I still remember the idea I had and if I work on it, it's pretty good.

Wish it hadn't happened at the end of the summer, though!

Time to pack, as I'm moving back to the dorm TOMORROW, WOO!

Fall Semester Resolutions

Just to help encourage me, and to help me keep my head on straight!

1. Keep a planner with assignments, meetings, exams, etc. up-to-date.
2. Actually use the aforementioned planner
3. Keep up with class readings; don't say "oh, I can finish this tomorrow before class..."
4. Study for exams. Word is, that helps.
5. Go to office hours for at least one class at least every other week!
6. Don't sign on for any extra CAP obligations.
7. Practice Photoshop, learn Illustrator.
8. Be more optimistic; not everyone secretly hates you.
9. Make friends in class. It's not that hard, right?
10. Quit smoking!!!
11. Buy a bike.
12. No more C's!
13. Don't take naps. They feel great, but that's how you end up skipping class...
14. DON'T SKIP CLASS! Short of hospitalization, no reason is as good as you convince yourself it is.
15. Hit the gym once in a while, Tubs.
16. Don't waste money on silly things.
17. Okay, don't waste too much money on silly things.
18. Go bed at decent hours!



In other news, I watched They Live the other day and it was awesome. I also watched the most recent live-action Peter Pan, which was positively adorable. Tonight I watched Sudden Manhattan at Brandon's; it was weird and had a lot of completely pointless lines and characters in it, and nothing was really made clear. I enjoyed watching it, but I don't think it's too good of a movie. I want to finish watching Smiley Face.
I move into my dorm Monday... can't wait to get back to school for the year!
