I awoke an hour before my 9:30 and got on netflix and looked for shit. I found quite the little gem of awesomeness. the complete series of Top Cat! best cartoon show. ever. period. I added them to my queue like that. I am excited. I go to my 9:30 and 15 minutes in I stumble over an answer about China and he misinterprets what I was trying to say so it seems like I was wrong (I wasn’t, I simply failed to correctly articulate what I meant). I decide to shut up for the rest of class and they get into a discussion about total and limited war and guerilla war vs. terrorism. I have good points but I withhold them and the class discussion suffered. I have exacted my revenge on them for not acknowledging my superiority.
I then go to my 11:00 and almost get caught for cheating on our first test. It was easy but I just wanted to check all my answers against Jerry, especially if I wasn’t positive. We go to lunch and then bump in to Caleb and Rob and others. I have some decent chicken nuggets and we have the most heated argument I have had in a long time over what is the difference between a test, a quiz and an exam. It was fucking intense.
After lunch I return to me room and watch last weeks episode of House. It depicts a day in the life of Cuddy while House’s patient exists on the periphery, much like the episode from earlier this season about Wilson. I thoroughly enjoyed the episode and thought it was really interesting to see things from her point of view. by the time it was over I had missed most of my 2:00. I watched a little Family Guy and then I watched the Llama Song for maybe 20 minutes straight. I lost an I.Q. point or two from that.
After a while I wandered over to grab some dinner and had some pretty good mashed potatoes and gravy, some decent chicken and the absolute worst corn I have ever had. it was like yellow paper soaked in corn juice and folded up like triangles. It was disgusting. After Dinner I return and watch some TV here and there then I find An Evening with Kevin Smith online and watch it. The thing fucking blew my mind. I re-awoke my latent love for his body of work and restored my dream of becoming a screenwriter and producer. Kevin Smith is an inspiring character for all of us who are fat and lazy and don’t really give a shit about what we are supposed to.
After this I go and bug scott about it for a while and then I get some dinner and watch an episode of south park.
Memento. I finally watched it. It absolutely blew my fucking mind. Christopher Nolan is an absolute genius. basically the film is about a man who is unable to form new memories. He received a head wound from the man (or men) who raped (and may have killed) his wife. He swears to exact revenge but his inability to form new memories complicates things. The film is presented in a non-linear form with two distinct sets of scenes that make up the story line of the film. The color scenes begin at the story’s end with the main character, Leonard having just killed the man he is looking for. these scenes progress in reverse chronological order while another set of scenes is presented in black and white. these scenes are the earliest chronologically and appear in order. they two story line converge at the end of the film in a shocking twist that leads us to question everything that we have just seen. It is a mind-bending experience that kept me on the edge of my seat and I recommend this movie to anyone.
Now I think I shall go to bed.
