Whoah, its been like, four days since I last posted. Thats gotta be a record. (except that I've gone months before, whatever, stfu.)
So, I've seen Star Trek three times and its been out four days. I'd go today if that didnt mean that I would have to walk home. Theater is on one end of town, I live on the opposite end. Nothnx. City is pretty big. I'd probably get shanked or something. But I digress. Obviously the movie is good. I may joke about only going to see it for ZQ, but thats a bit of a lie. I like embracing staples of culture, even if I wasnt previously interested in them. It works out pretty well most of the time. I watched Across the Universe because it was representative of a generation, one which, thankfully, I missed. Not a huge Beatles fan, but I am a huge ATU fan. So there. Star Trek was all I could have hoped for in a good movie, and it might be well on its way to wiggling into my top five. It had interesting characters that I actually cared about, the acting was wonderful. It had good action-y bits, and it had good comedy bits. It was absolutely beautiful, and I liked that Kirk pretty much was constantly sporting bruises, and it wasnt one of those "Look, the main character is invincible and chisled and manly and always looks wonderful." He got into fights, and he got injured. Done and done. There were parts that made me uncomfortable, but that was usually the whole Uhara and Spock kissing thing, which, het makes me uncomfortable anyway, and beyond that, it was kind of square peg into round hole. But I can dig it. I caught a few of the callbacks to the original series, even without knowing what exactly was being called back to. There were things that just seemed kind of weird that they mentioned it and it was like, oh, I gotcha.
I had a rather upsetting time a few nights ago, where I thought I was losing a friend. Thankfully, that didnt happen, and I'm going to try to be a better friend to him so that I dont lose him.
I've managed to latch onto a signal at home so I very tentatively have internet. One of my new housemates, Steph, offered to split for internet, so its a case of, do I pay 30 dollars for good internet, or do I pay nothing for decent internet. Im thinking I'll just continue to pirate. I'll get internet when I get my own place. Which will be soon, hopefully. I still need to get another job, but this requires me printing off resumes, and Mom needs to stop nagging me like, yesterday, as I do understand the situation, I also understand that I'm paid up for at least two months, so I'm probably good for now.
Mom keeps entertaining this thought that I'm going to suddenly decide to go back to school. No, not quite. It just isnt for me right now. I like to learn, I just dont like to be tested on things that have no bearing to my life. I would gladly sit through lectures if they just didnt assign me essays and tests and exams and all that shit. But you know, whatever. I get it. Its not for everyone, and I dont think its for me. I just cant force myself to care when I dont. I have enough going on that I need to focus on things that are important to me.
