2 years and 22 inches worth of hair gone in 15 minutes just because I felt like fucking around at 3am this morning. So now I've gone from "Dude, are you Jesus?!" to "Dude, are you a Nazi?!" Ah well. That's hardly worthy of a journal entry, but I'll probably have to update my background and user icons soon so it's sorta related.
Van Helsing is one of the best Summer movies I've ever seen. Don't take that as an endorsement necessarily, because it's pretty fucking terrible, but it was one of the most enjoyably terrible movies I've seen in a long time. I really don't see any possible way the director could have taken this thing seriously. The dialogue, both in verbiage and delivery, is straight out of a soap opera. Everything is loud, flamboyant, hammy and ridiculous. I laughed so many times, and even applauded at one point. The whole film pretty much follows this formula: hysterically bad dialogue, over the top action sequence; hysterically bad dialogue, over the top action sequence...repeat times 20. God DAMN I loved it. I'm going to see it again, and buy the DVD just to increase the chances of a sequel being made. I really need to lower my expectations for every movie I go see. I'd pretty much made up my mind to hate it before even walking into the theater, and I loved it. The same thing happend with Mean Girls last week. Maybe if Ed Wood directs the next Star Wars movie I'll be completely blown away.
I got an A+ in my figure drawing class, which should kick ass, but apparently there was a mix up with the force add slip I turned in at the beginning of the semester, and I was added to the completely wrong class. So now I have to go "present my case" to a commitee in the Deans office to see if I will be allowed to be retroactively enrolled for the correct class. What a crock of shit. This is completely a University error, and they still have my force add slip on file plus a letter from my instructor, but I still have to appeal my case for some fucking reason. I think I'll just go to the committee, stand up, and say "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm petitioning for retroactive enrollment because you're all a clusterfuck of incompetent douche bags. Thank you for you time....blow me."
