Myspace blog duplicate....but meh. wth is a livejournal "nudge" anyhow
so about my life lately.
school is...interesting...the concept of graduating never ceases to amaze me...i think i will need much longer than another semester to attain a portfolio worthy of notice...but that never stopped me from getting into college in the first place. sometimes i wonder how i'm capable of a decent, i emphasise DECENT, GPA, when so much of my time is devoted to sloth-like activities. in fact, the simple fact that i'm not a 300lb black woman addicted to fried chicken and oprah also amazes me, especially as i spend more time eating and watching tv than i do pretty much anything else. c'est la vie.
my roommate bought a ping pong table...so now...we have no room for our nice loveseat, which is located...in the doorway. or my orange granpa recliner...which securely defends the door to our downstairs bathroom. however, there is a slight logic to chris's madness, in that...the downstairs is used as often as the ping pong table, which is generally...one night a week.
geometry wars for the xbox 360 has to be the sweetest thing i've seen in years....simple yet mind blowing 2d graphics..and a techno soundtrack...surely somebody played asteroids on acid years ago and just had amnesia until now...but i'm glad they remembered because it will most likely be one of the greatest distractions ever.
project gotham 3 was worth the hype...the completley unique cockpits are distinct and exact replica's from each car, and the sounds from each view make the simulation all that more realistic...something about the whole experience makes my pants tight, whipping around the streets of tokyo in an Ariel Atom....the sound of the supercharged honda civic type r motor singing sonorously to the open air around my head. inches from the ground...
the 240 is lonely in my garage, and has not been driven in too long...but after seeing the idiots on the road today, i dont think i will be able to take it out until the streets have been swept of anything to make people nervous. all the better tho, as the changes due to happen this summer will just make the wait all the sweater when i can rip through the gears at will, as opposed to under the supervision of a goddamn'd computer chip.
the civic however, feels like ....well a civic...but crappier.. the clutch slips until its fully released, which makes first gear launches from a stop extremely challenging. it now eats even MORE oil, and i suspect that i drive on about 1 quart 90 percent of the time regardless of how much i fill it. theres probably like a gazillion blocks for that engine just lying around...but my suspicion is that they all have ballooned cylinders like mine that will make short work of any piston rings i may try and seal it up with.
hmmm what else...things should be interesting this spring/summer as i will be living at home again...tyler will most likely have some interesting posts after that. i feel like even tho i'm going "home" i'm somehow invading some sacred ground, and that i'm likely to be engaged in some kind of turf war. i'm sure i will enjoy being home..the food...oh the actual food. however i can't see myself having the freedom to have a good drink or "two" as i do out in st paul...but its not really a battle i think i can justify. its impressive enough my mother let me have one glass of wine on christmas...she denied me a second one two hours later though...go figure.
i think thats more than anyone will ever read though..and i've put off my assignment enough to the point where it will attain my usual level of mediocrity.
oh yea...this will most likely be my blog for the year, so get in your righteous comments now, all.
ride montehue!!
