01.31.05whoohoo, i wrote something disturbing!Well, the whoohoo isn't the necessarily for the disturbing part but for the "I wrote something" part. I wrote a whole short today. It is a dark, disturbing story with no happy ending, but hey, that is what I do best. I feel jazzed that I actually finished something (even if it is only 12 pages long). It is about a young lawyer with some issues that only are complicated when he is assigned a controversial case. I am probably going to use this as my final project for my TCF 240 class. I'll ...

01.29.05dang, houses are expensiveI had a Brazilian home-away-from-homesick dream in which I stayed in a beachhouse in Peruibe. Since it is 30 degrees outside or so, waking up was a disappointment. I promptly went to the internet looking for beach houses in Peruibe. Since I didn't find any in the five to ten dollar range, I am afraid they are out of my reach right now. Last night my writer's block lifted a bit. What I wrote wasn't great but at least it was something and it was about six pages or so. It is still not completely finished, ...

We were chosen to go last and as the other groups got up, I realized that they had prepared way more than we had. Some had props and some we just really good. The best performance was the group that had "my" scene. I am not biased, their acting was really good. Well, we got up there and dudeman who was performing our scene with me was really nervous and he kind of sucked. That just helped me to suck ...

01.23.05i guess it could be worseMy DVD burner is utterly totaled, but it could be worse, it could have caught on fire. I was kind of ticked because it stopped working and destroyed blank discs, so I called Dell and with only me telling them that my drive was broken, they are shipping me a new drive. Warranties are cool, man. Well now, the drive won't play DVDs anymore and it comes out part way sometimes on its own. I push the eject button and it tries to decide which way to go for a couple seconds before it goes back ...

01.22.05night shiftSo, I got another job, or at least I am very nearly close to getting another job. Wait isn't it kind of creepy that they advertise Levitra during Law and Order: Special Victims Unit? Yeah, about that job. Anthony tipped me off that the Tuscaloosa School system need people who speak Portuguese to tutor elementary students from Brazil. I only have Friday afternoons, but when I called the woman she asked me if I was interested in doing it Friday afternoons. Whoohoo! I have to go in this Friday for an interview but judging from the tone of ...
