headlines that seem like twists in movie plots...

It's a little scary when real life sounds more like a movie script.

Thursday, March 26, 2009

So first before I say anything, I'd like to note that blogger has no idea what they're talking of. This is the message accross the top of my screen right now:

Scheduled outage at 4:00PM PDT on Thursday (3/25).

It just happens that in 2009 this day/date combo doesn't exist.


In other news, I knew there was a catch to online quizzes... though technically my reasoning for never filling them out is more pop-ups and time wasting.

This makes me sad.

c'est la vie.

hum ho.
so I technically should be studying right now, but my stomach hurts, and nothing is making me very productive. I spent last weekend down in Virginia (right near DC) at a Photojournalism Conference as well as spending time in the evenings with my cousin, Kevin. Both were fun and a nice break from reality. But, alas, reality cannot stay away forever. Monday morning hit with homework and reading, and the week has just continued. I am finally getting into the shooting phase for my three long term photo projects I will be carrying out over the quarter. I still need to get a lot of reading done and out of the way for my documentary photo class. All in all after I get the stressful part of making contact with possible subjects, and finding stories of human interest, I will be able to fall into a fairly rhythmic weekly pattern.
I think that'll be easier to handle.
Well, at least I really hope so.

Also, I am much looking forward to being done with school at the same time... really??!!!?? Is it really this close? I can't quite believe it. After graduation-ness is somewhat daunting, especially since professors keep urging me on to chase internships that are over 200 miles away. Somehow I think the commute might kill me. Oh well, c'est la vie. With no job prospects at the moment, I presently intend to work on learning Spanish more, create a presentable website for my work, walk lots more and bike, too, get involved in this community, and pursue some photo story/essay ideas I've been holding under my belt (which I fail to wear pretty much all the time, but no matter).

Anyhoo, enough procrastinating. On to phone calls, cleaning up, and studying.

really??!!!???

What the crap?

"How to identify militia members:
People who ... in addition to anti-abortion activists...Other potential signals of militia involvement, according to the report, are possession of the Gagsden "Don't Tread on Me" flag..."

i vote no to this one...

this just gets too weird too fast.

the US calls this choice.

sad and horrifying.

Probably my favorite St. Patrick rendition.
