all of a sudden i miss everyone
eh.
i need to stop listening to epic instrumental music. for some reason it turns me into a sloppy emotional mess. no more explosions in the sky, eluvium, or sigur ros for me.
so apartment searching is fun. and by fun, i mean sarah is doing all the work and i am sitting at home like a bum, feeling rather toolish. california is only too far away when i think about moving my stuff or not being able to help with the apartment hunt. but otherwise i kind of can't wait.
my mother has officially left her old job and opened the new firm. it's weird. she'd been at that place my whole life. now both of my parents have their own accounting firms. crazy. there really just is no explanation for me. aimless post-graduate, psuedo graphic designer. actually i guess it depends on which day you catch me on, since sometimes i'm more convinced i'm going to go the editorial route. but today it is graphic design because i have been designing a new letterhead system for my mom.
i set up an amazon vendor account the other day, hoping to sell some of the books i've managed to amass over the years. nothing doing so far, but i'm hopeful that some day someone will want to buy my evil italian textbook from me. and that will pay for one tank of gas that will get my about as far as tennessee in the upcoming cross-country road trip.
i went to my sister's high school graduation the other day, and listening to her commencement speaker, i realized that i've never heard a commencement speech that i thought was at all noteworthy. wake's was so totally forgettable. my high school speaker just told us a bunch of stories and made us laugh, but i'm not sure they were really relevant other than in a "don't be afraid to follow your dreams!" kind of way. i kind of wish that just once i'd had a speaker who had the balls to raise questions instead of trying give us all the answers. i find that annoying and presumptuous. my sister actually had to tell me to shut up the other day because i started talking about the failure of western civilization and the isolation of modern society (i think i actually said that...why am i such an ahole??). a couple of my professors would have been so proud, though. but i won't digress further into that particular strain of douche-bloggery here.
now to be superficial! ok, jj abrams, i love(d) lost. i even loved alias for a while and watched it like a trainwreck the rest of the time. however, you have not sold me on Fringe. for starters, that cast is totally boring. i'll go along with your high concept for a little bit, but at least i cared for the characters in lost and alias (until you started killing my favorites one by one and i'm about out of reasons to watch your silly island show). or maybe this is just lingering resentment against joshua jackson and his involvement in the MOST ANNOYING TV SHOW EVER. i only see pacey witter when i look at him, and that means i really want to punch him.
i think i will watch dollhouse though, despite eliza dushku. because A) helo! and B) tim minear is onboard so i will be too. and C) helo!
ok whatevs, i need a job. goodnight.
