my name is wakefield, i got a box full of your toys
I went to dinner with Jeff and Briana and after, went with Jeff to his place where he, Josh and I watched his latest film (still a rough-cut), followed by a couple of my films. The film of my own I get the least bored with, to be honest: Love is Suicide, but it's always interesting to watch my movies with Jeff and Josh, because they're such rabid fans and it simultaneously makes me more and less critical of them.
After that, we all played Guitar Hero III. I'd never Guitar Hero'd before and it's actually a lot more addictive than I expected, though I sort of refused to play any songs I didn't know and like (which limited me to about three songs). I played "My Name Is Jonas" about twenty times I bet. I got almost good at it on Medium level, which for me felt pretty impressive. Except that Jeff and Josh were belting out Better-Than-Medium level songs with not that much difficulty. Oh well.
In case my last couple posts haven't made it obvious, I'm sort of in vacation mode here. I do this every year, I think. I'm between classes, I just spent half a week with my family, a lot of my friends are either busy or out of town (and conversely, a number of my old friends are back in town), and the whole thing adds up to me being virtually unable to focus on anything serious or hang out with anyone I'm not "old friends" with. I'm in a stubborn comfort zone where I sleep in, watch bad movies or sci-fi TV, and generate nothing new at all. The fact that I'm between jobs and there's nothing seriously pressing doesn't help. (On a more-or-less unrelated note, my phone was left on silent last night so as not to go off and disturb an already potentially weird moment [which wasn't actually weird] and today I slept through and missed the reminder call for my meeting with Enie about Open. Shit.)
Anyway, there's something about after-xmas before-new-years that just leaves me in this vacant space and I really can't muster up any initiative at all.
Or could be I'm back in rut-land and I'm justifying not pulling myself out of said rut.
But in three days my excuses dry up. So, you know, (hopefully) there's that.
