… but at least once I finally get around to enjoying the ‘puter, I’ll have plenty to do on it. Thanks in part to my new copy of Dungeon Siege (thanks Chris), my being a beta tester for WarCraft III and plenty of CS. Sorry… just had to mention those.
I want pizza… anyone else hungry?
I hate being busy. I guess I am jaded. Or at least stressed. Probably stressed. My “finals” are basically this week. Then I have 3 more weeks after that. I have a big paper due next Monday and 10 prints due Tuesday. Those are my two biggest assignments of the semester and they fall on the same week. After that I only have a sequential assignment that’s more annoying than difficult and some addition Poloroid stuff to do in photo, but that should be easy. So, although it’s stressful, after I get these done I’m pretty much gliding through till summer. So, when my computer comes tomorrow, I’ll probably put it together then not be able to enjoy it for a week or so. But, if that’s what needs to happen, then so be it. Add to all that the fact that I still need to move into my new apartment, get my car worked on and find a job for the summer, and you’re looking at one stressed out art student.
Can I come home yet?
Wooh. Sunday, aka: Homework Day. I got my sequential work done today. It was a water-color assignment believe it or not. It actually turned out well. Lauren stayed over for a good portion of the day and got her work done as well. It was a nifty little “homework party.” That is, if homework can be called a party.
We also watched Ali at some point in there. It was good, very good infact. Very well made, great acting… long as shit. It was like watching a copy of Tale of Two Cities. It was so long winded I fast forwarded a few parts and didn’t miss a thing. As much as I appreciate the wonderful cinamatography, and don’t get me wrong, it was fantastic, I just can’t see any reason for a ten minute jogging scene set to music. Let alone 4 or 5 of them.
On the exact opposite end of the “long winded” scale was SpiderMan, which we saw yesterday. It was also quite good. Not spectacular, but good. I’ve never been a fan of “blockbusters” but this was entertaining at least. It was well made and in my opinion one of the truest to the comic movies to date. That doesn’t excuse the bad acting of Kirstin Dunst, whos only apparent acting attribute is looking mildly attractive in a wet t-shirt. It also didn’t make me feel any emotion whatsoever. Even when Uncle Ben is killed. Nothing. There was no dramatic music, no emotional response from characters. And don’t feed me some line about McGuires “crying” because I’ve cried more after putting Visine in my eyes. But, it was still entertaining, and not half bad.
7.5/10 for SpiderMan, 8.5 for Ali.
Welp, another day gone. Today Lauren and I will catch the 1pm SpiderMan in hope of not drawing a large growd. We heard that all the later showing last night were sold out, so we decided to shoot for a matinee in hope there would be that many people. I already grabbed the tickets from Fandango.com, so we’re good to go. Now all I can hope for is that there’s not a lot of children at the showing. Not that they’re any more or any less annoying than their redneck parents. It’s just something to hope for. That’s about it for interesting stuff. The computer is on its way, work is piling up. Same old, same old. Later.
Wow. My order was placed, verified and shipped all within 8 hours. NewEgg.com rawks! New ‘puter here I come. Anyone have any suggestions on how to test out this baby once it gets here? Games that have awesome effects/graphics? Cool programs? Anything?
