And work on Janette's book forever and ever and ever

Well I start school today. As a matter of fact, I'm sitting in class right now using the new 20 inch Mac 2.4 Ghz. They bought a good thousand of these things this year. Figures, just right before I leave everything gets a new face. I'm not even gonna start talking about the new long-awaited upperclassman dorms that will be ready, just as I will forever leave this place. This is all very sickly ironic.
I guess my summer was okay. Painted a huge mural, again, got a new car (will post pics later).
I really hope this year flies, cuz I don't know how much more nonsense I can take.


ps. I really have no respect for the New Albany garbage men.

I just saw the Dark Knight. It was glorious. Simply full of awesomeness.
Heath's performance was absolutely flawless. I mean he completely eats up the scenery that he's in, and all you really want to do is watch him, and when he's not in the scene you anticipate him jump back up again. Batman really plays second fiddle in this one.
I definitely think he's gonna get them Oscars, too bad he...woun't?
It's really not fair, because after you're done watching it you want to see more of him, and the fact that there is really no way to make another film after this one makes it even more special and tragic.

I went opening night, (yes..) and we waited 2 hours in line NOT for the tickets, but to get inside the theater. But it was all completely worth it. We saw it also on IMAX which was also extra extra fabulous. There were like 4 or 5 screens playing the film, and even though we got there early enough, they were all sold out so we had to get a late night show. Obviously inside, every seat was full, even the very front row where people don't care to get eye cancer.

Absolutely go see this movie. It will be the best thing you'll do this entire week.

Well, the day finally came:


After 3 and 1/2 years of service, it finally kicked the bucket on tuesday. *sniff*
It can now move forward to better and bigger things.
At least it didn't croak on me while i was on the freeway, so that's a good thing. On the downside, I'm completely car-less, feel utterly un-independant, and have to bum rides from everyone until my folks figure this out. At least it isn't the school year....

Today was the first time ever I had hummus that I didn't mind eating, and that is most likely because it was home-made by very prosperous, fruitful, wine-loving greeks. Mrs. Philippidis sure knows how to throw down a party.
Now I don't normally party with my college professors, but today was an acception because Eva (Mrs. P) is more of a companion, and I've been to her house once before to turn in my work (and have wine). Well today was her husbands birthday, the whole house was packed with about 30 well-mannered multi-cultured individuals who, what seemed like had everything going right. I mean, these were lawyers, and journalists, and designers. Brian and I sort of had a hard time relating to pretty much everyone there, for obvious reasons and that is, we were the only 2 students at this gig. However, we managed to hold down a conversation with one guy named Michael, who seemed like he was in his late 40s/early 50s. He was a journalist, and it was very nice talking to him because he was the only one who was actually curious about what we do and where we came from. Pretty much everyone in the house was at that peak in their lives where they had everything figured out for future retirement, and actually had the time in their day to make exquisite gourmet greek appetizers. it was all delicious: Steak and shrimp shishkabobs, sangrias, rum punch, greek salads, cous cous petas, and feta cheese, and dozens of other amazing dishes I didn't even know what was in it but nevertheless it tasted incredible, so much that Brian ate everything. O_O




The solid truth.

THE MURAL IS DONE!! 7 MONTHS, 900 HOURS BABY! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!

Channel 2 came yesterday. I embarrassed myself on local television. Suddenly I'm very camera shy??? The paint fumes have deffinately had something to do with that.

SO people, it's done. It's pretty, we got presents, cookies and message boards...and about $150 a piece. ENJOY THE MURAL!

Emily, our journey to take over the world has just begun.

READ Emily's post about the day, she's got more to tell than I do about yesterday. Here's a segment of Em's post stolen by me just because it made me giggle:

"It looks good, er, better, oh just pick a fucking adjective and put it in there."
