I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun
I skipped class again. Normally I wouldn't write anything about it on livejournal - unless it was exceptional circumstances like last weeks display of retardation from my fellow classmates - but I feel like doing so today. I think again it was not really wanting to be around people like those who I'm stuck with for plus hours on a Wednesday afternoon, but something else is going on. I'm just totally over coursework, especially when I don't care about the theory and it all seems ineffectual of saying anything. I'd just rather use the time to work on my thesis, which I do care about. Whatever, I'm just angsting.
So I went shopping instead:
Goodbye tax return then. It was worth it. Two disc Taxi Driver wins. Also, do you think I like Steve McQueen & Al Pacino? I used to love Airheads, it was one of those ones that we always seemed to watch at sleepovers when I was like 13, but I haven't seen it much since then. Will be interesting to revisit it. Otherwise, I'm trying to give my DVD collection some class, just a little bit. Also, to all those non-region-4 DVD folks out there, isn't our ratings label THE UGLIEST FUCKING THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN??! Think how lovely the Serpico cover would be if it wasn't for that fucking blue square in the bottom corner, it's so ugly and unsubtle. At least the ratings label on the Taxi Driver slipcase is just a sticker, but most of the time it's printed onto the cover. I mean the old style labels (see the Magnificent Seven cover) are ugly but they're a bit less uglier. I whinge about rating labels at least twice a week, haha.
Also, while browsing the EzyDVD website this morning, I discovered this: The Doom Generation. Released two weeks before my thesis is due dammit. (Even if I'm not writing specifically on Doom Generation, it's still pretty important.) I wonder if it'll have ~special features~ or if it's just a new cover? If that's the final artwork, bleh, I like my current cover better. But damn, I'd tolerate a shitty cover for some special features. I just realized that my Totally Fucked Up DVD has an audio commentary with Gregg Araki and James Duval. Hot.
Also if anyone wants to try and analyze why I've been listening to so much Fall Out Boy lately, go ahead. Whatever, I like it. It reminds me of 2003/4 (so does skipping class actually...) and listening to lots of pop punk and stuff like that. House parties & getting stoned on the back steps when everyone else had gone home, sitting under outdoor tables to shelter from the rain, getting into fights with dudes much bigger & stronger than me, stealing the pizzas for the group that someone else paid for and driving around the block eating pizza and singing our hearts out to Bon Jovi songs. Uh, yeah, not to get all Proustian or anything, but damn they were some good times.
