Heh, whoops...

This may not be a good thing. It's 10AM on Sunday, and while this is later than I usually woke up for church during the school year, it's definitely at least an hour and a half earlier than I've been waking up pretty much everyday for the past week. I warned myself not to make this habit, but, as usual, I didn't listen to me. Ugh... oh well. I think I'll just work on waking up early over the next few days, seeing as how I move into CRC on Wednesday morning. Then lucky me, 8AM classes for the kids start next Monday.

WHAT THE HELL DID I SIGN UP FOR???

Sigh... c'est la vie. (Note I definitely used to put that phrase into papers when I was in middle school. Of course, I would spell it "say la vie." I wonder if my point still got across.)

Honestly, though, I don't want to harp on the negative aspects of this NHSI job. It should be a lot of fun, and at least I'll be doing something with my life. Right now, I don't do much more than wake up at noon, play video games, go for runs, and help people move. That's... quite literally all I've been doing. I figure the good cancels out the bad.

Damn, I was hoping this entry was going to be a lot cooler than I think it turned out.

Final thought: The trailer for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" is only viewable between 10PM and 4AM. This is either extremely stupid or a stroke of genius. True, they're cutting out a big chunk of potential theater-goers who won't go to see the movie because they missed the trailer, but it could happen that those who did see the trailer were extra scared by it because they watched it during the "scary hours." Only time will tell with this one, I suppose.

HAH! Fuck you...

...sophomore year of college! Yep, I'm 50% done with my entire college career. I just got back from my art critique, which I rocked hard, like my tasty abs - washerboard style!! (tenacious d, anyone?) And that was my last "final" that I had. But really, the hard part was finishing the painting, which I did last night. Unfortunately, I think my prof. knew I waited until the last minute to finish because he asked me if the paint was wet or dry. But in my defense, oil paint takes a long-assed time to dry*. I'll put up some pictures on facebook so you can all see the wonders of Max Holste - the artist. I'm particularly proud of this last project, which I've titled Ousted No. 2. If you really care, I'll explain for you, in detail, the meaning behind both the title and the piece itself.

*I think it's about time I publicly addressed an issue that's been bothering me for quite some time, but one that I've only recently come to acknowledge. Whenever people use phrases like "Man, that's one big ass dog" or "She doesn't fuck after the first date? What a tight ass chick." or "This lecture is taking such a long ass time that it's hard for me to contain the urge to punch old ladies in the face. Anyway, when people use such phrases, it annoys me that they forget to complete the adjective. It's not "long ass," it's "long-assED." When describing something using these delightful idioms, it's important to remember that you are describing that particular thing's ass. It's a "big-assED dog," a "tight-assED chick," a "long-assED lecture." Please, readers of my blog, I ask that in the future you take delicate care to fully complete adjectives you use, and feel free to over-emphasize the "ED" so people know that you care about grammar.

Ughh... I'm at work right now, though, and there doesn't seem to be anything to do. Wait, let me check if there's any mail....

...

Yep, there was. And it took all of 7 minutes to do. Hmm... God, I can't wait to get back to my room and play some Zelda. That game is so good! Damn!

So, yeah. That's all I got.

Final thought: Did anybody actually go out and see The Omen last night?
