the first step is admitting that you have a problem...i also love grey's anatomy matt. i get angry at the hsow now, but it's only because i love it. i'm a little nostalgic for the second-season style they had going on, but i guess this is better than nothing.
i'm supposed to be going over an italian presentation right now. i can't do it. i've looked at and read too many things this week. i will be literaly reading off of a sheet for this one. everyone else has done it so far, so i guess i should just stop obsessing over differentiating myself from the rest of the class.
going home this weekend will be welcomed.
the weepies album is fantastic. they have a song that makes me laugh. if you know, you know. if you don't then you dont:
"Riga girls like to kiss
Make me wish I was someone else
Oh, Riga girls are you sad?
Oh, I wish I had someone"
i've been thinking about "la vita e bella" lately. i've seen a lot of movies about world war two, but this one just seems to hit home. the funny thing is, it's remarkably devoid of grotesque holocaust imagery and battlefield massacres. the last scene makes me want to cry even when i'm just thinking about it. it deserved all the awards it got. you'll be watching it soon.
one of my favorite (if not my favorite) professors gave a lecture on the machine the other day. i was very dissapointed that i couldn't be there. i've stopped obsessing over campus politics in the last year, but it would still be interesting to hear what a political science professor has to say about theta nu epsilon. plus he's black, fairly liberal (seemingly), and happily married in a mixed-race relationship. his perspective on the group is invaluable.
i would like to say, for the record, that you can be as good a person as you can, you can donate everything you have to the poor, etc etc...BUT if you support a group like lister hill's theta nu epsilon, aka the machine, then you aren't nearly as good a person as you'd like to think. sorry. do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
i say this because people have mentioned to me that our SGA president is "a really nice guy" and that "he's really funny and easy to talk to." i know this. i know the guy. we haven't spoken since i learned that he was the machine candidate for SGA pres. yes, i will cut people off for that. not out of haughtiness, but rather out of a desire to see that kind of thinkig and behavior erradicated.
the machine is what is wrong with the U of A. that kind of thinking goes to the heart of almost every other issue i have with UA, tuscaloosa, alabama, or the south in general.
