"Let's make like a tree and stand here for a hundred years making sugar."
Eh, well, it's been pointed out that I haven't posted anything on here in a while. I suppose I mostly just don't have much to say, or haven't been slowing down enough to say it. Pretty tired right now too, since it's late.
I finally wrote that short story based on that one dream I had a year ago with the demon guys that were basically farming people. I so far only have feedback on the first half, which the professor liked quite a lot, and I'm pretty happy with that; the other half I wrote the night before I had to turn it in and I won't hear about until Thursday, when everyone in class will be talking about it. Eep. Still, it turned out pretty much how I wanted it to, scene-progression-wise, so I have hopes that it will be well-received...
Signed a lease on my first apartment. It's right next to Adric's, which is in itself right next to campus. It's a one-bedroom, with a kitchen and all that. I'm kind of nervous to move out but on the other hand I can't wait--I really do love my parents, and it's been fine living with them, but I'm really starting to feel like I need a space to call my own! All three of us went shopping today and we picked up a bunch of stuff, a lot of it even quite colorful, which I am glad of since I was worried I would end up with all boring stuff.
Still haven't played Bioshock 2 even though I pre-ordered it and picked it up over a week ago. =( Haven't really been playing anything lately, actually, videogame-wise at least. Have been doing Full Thrust; I've only had time for a few of my ships but Adric's got about five of them and the fighters on their bases now.
Have been getting a lot of VHSes. I like having a VHS player. Then I ordered a DVD of the Hitcher, specifically the original version with Rutger Hauer, and the listing on Ebay said Rutger Hauer and had the correct box image and everything, but they sent me a copy of the horrible remake anyway. Still feel kind of disgusted. It's like there was this really delicious-looking sandwich, and then when I bit into it I found out that it was filled exclusively with fish intestines. Horrifying. If they don't e-mail me back, even aside from the fact that then I will officially be pissed off (they do have a good approval rating, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt), I'll turn around and sell it right away. I don't want something this awful and low-quality sitting in the house, even if I have done my best to ensure that as little of it has been exposed to open air as possible.
