I got a great night’s sleep last night, for a change… I haven’t exactly gotten one of those in awhile, and it was very refreshing to not only be able to go to bed early-ish, but to also be able to sleep without interruption (for the most part) until I felt like getting up. I needed that… :)
There are lots of projects I want to work on for various reasons, but unfortunately this week is going to be mostly devoted to my Calculus exam on Thursday… On top of that, the asswipe will be giving us a quiz today! The thing that really, really, bothers me about this guy is this: He goes over a topic in class, and we have homework for that topic (he gave us all the homework for the quarter back in the beginning). The next time the class meets, he will go over any problems that students request from the homework, which is good. The bad thing is, however, that he also gives a quiz on the material the homework covered on the same day, so that if we did have trouble with the homework, we really don’t have a chance to go back and regroup… Grrr…
Today just never seemed to end…. Fortunately, all my classes are done now, and I am just kicking back, listening to some Faith No More loudly, and trying to decide whether or not to take a nap….
I am really groggy today, I need to take a nap, but that will not be occuring for the next 4 hours… After that, however, I think I am going to lie down for awhile (or at least do something mindless)…
The daily grind is wearing thin… And I don’t have a job yet either. :(
Chuck left around PM last night to avoid the impending snowstorm that hit NJ late last night…. He mailed me when he got home around 2:30a to tell me that he started hitting snow around 2…. So at least he didn’t hit too much of it and made it home safely. We had a lot of fun this weekend, going out with Trouble and crew.. Chuck and I edited up the last of the video just before he sailed off; We ended up doing a rush-edit just laying the logged clips down next to each other without much finishing… He has another Mini-DV back in Jersey that he forgot to bring with him, so we will take that footage and combine it with what we saved from this weekends shooting and do a real edit after I return to NJ. DV is a great format, and it was real fun playing with all the DV and 1394 stuff that I never really had an opportunity or knowledge to play with before.
I am really looking forward to the upcoming release of Hannibal. The book was wonderful, and I have since learned, contrary to rumors I had heard previously, that the book’s ending remains mostly intact. The ending of the novel was very powerful, and I was truly disappointed when I heard that they sissified it for general consumption. Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite novels and movies, and I am quite anxious to see the film…..
It’s been a really fun weekend so far… Chuck has been here since Friday afternoon, and we have just been hanging out, filming his Trials riding, and going out with my friends up here. Friday night we went to The Old Toad, and last night a bunch of us went out to see the movie Snatch. The movie was good, but the MTV-esque camera/shot work was a little overboard in the first 20 minutes of the movie….
Chuck and I are going to the New Media lab in the art building today to edit the DV footage we have been shooting while he is up here. It should be a fun time as well….
I am hanging out waiting for Chuck, who is coming up this weekend for a visit. I am not quite sure what we are going to do, other than edit a video of him doing some BikeTrials riding, but I always get a kick out of his visits; he always cheers me up alot.
Woke up this morning, started some laundry, took a shower, going to lunch in a few minutes. I didn’t have any change to do laundry, so I went down to the whore and bought a Mary Jane for 5 cents with a \$20 bill. Hehehe, upon re-reading that sentence, it could be taken many ways…. :)
