Yorkshire

God damn. My internal clock is shot all to hell. Over break, I was not once up before the sun. This 7:30am bullshit is not to my liking. Also, I was once under the impression that it was winter. I remember Thanksgiving... it was cold as balls outside. Now, it's just rainy and gray. Each day just gets grayer and grayer. I think I'd slit my wrists just to see color.

Classes just jumped right back at me out of nowhere. I forgot that I'm already three weeks into the trenches. I'm certainly not ready for it. My senior design project experienced yet another setback when I foud out that our client left her job at the company and we'd be working with someone else. So, the person who didn't know shit about our project has handed off her "notes" to someone else. You ever get the feeling that there's no one in the tower to help you land? That's where I'm at. And I'm realizing how much that tower analogy reeks of jesus, and hating myself.

I don't know what I was thinking trying to update. Nothing has really happened yet worth mentioning. Maybe I've upped my standards for a weblog post too high.

Wojo printed something out for our lab the other day in class that was so mindnumbingly stupid that I had to bring it to attention: "Yorkshire was lost because your mom wasn't there to bake it cookies." It makes no sense. I cut it out and taped it to my monitor to remind myself that nothing in life makes sense, and probably isn't supposed to.

I'm a couple episodes into the first season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and I've decided that this show is about the small quirks of a man that somehow are able to piss off everyone he meets. The show stars Larry David, co-creator of Seinfeld and is based on his actual life. The series supposed has no scripted dialog and the actors just sort of follow a plot and make up what they think they should say on the fly. It shows. Easily contains the most hilarious use of the phrase "The House that Cum Built" to date.

Other than that, I've tried to fill any empty span of my time longer than three breathes with Metal Gear: Acid. It's a little different than the rest of the series, but it's turn-based so it's perfect for the guy who makes his turns during the commercials of an episode of L&O.

I've got another short story due next Thursday. This is officially the thread where you give me ideas to write about. If I pick your idea, I'll even use your name in the story. If your idea really kicks ass, and you help me out, I'll even ensure that the character modeled in your likeness actually lives through the whole thing. It's a bargain at twice the price.

I promise to return again sooner than before.
