So Japanese scientists have filmed a living giant squid. They said this must have been a young one because it's tentactle (that it lost in it's struggle with their vessel) was only 26 feet long, as opposed to the average 60. GADAMN.
I've had a few tests this week, including a history test I think I aced yesterday... but my teacher told me that her other class' average on it was a 55. Either everyone at Gainesville is an idiot (plausible) or I am fubared.
Athens is alright but I've been rather anti-social up here as of late. I hate to say it, but everyone is so damn hot and so hip up here that I feel like I'm at the circus. Its a spectacle. There are some wonderful people up here though, without a doubt. And that is gurd. I've also been hanging out with Mike a shit ton, which is great since we had only hung out once while I was in Norcross.
I got to see Kristin and Katie last weekend and it was great. I may head down to Macon tomorrow for party action with them and Will. I wish I got to see more of those cats.
Fitzcarraldo is an incredible film that everyone must see.
Lately I've been so detached that I don't really feel like a human being any more or less than I feel like a dog or a ceramic bowl, if that makes any sense.
Its a lot of things counteracting all at once. Right now I feel like I'm holding up more weight than I can bear for my family. I have to be a rock for more people than I can handle at the moment. My excitement for life is now entirely driven by my private creations. They've let me keep my head. I'm still so happy to be alive, but my reality is currently playfully ironic, and I've found myself constantly slapping myself to remind myself that I'm not in a bizarre dream. Either I'm losing it or I'm coming down from the mountain, and the mountain is coming down on me. I'm having a good time though, so I guess I can't complain.
Joe Meek's "I Hear A New World"= the best album about the moon I've ever heard.
