A Crazy Little Dream...

Ok, so maybe break wasn't that much craziness. I worked most of break (and I'm gonna get a good paycheck in about 2 weeks time thanks to this.), but I can't really complain. Even with the boring, there can be fun things that pop up that you really don't expect.



I mean, it was a pretty minimal week, but I think that's what I really needed. During classes, I'm going so many places and doing so much stuff that I never really take that time to sit there and maybe just enjoy the fact that I have the ability to do that. I did that for a little while over break, but it wasn't the only thing I did. I know this may sound sad, but the thing I was most excited about for break was about buying something. Yes, I know, absolutely pathetic. But sometimes, that's the way the cookie crumbles with me, so I'll take what I can get.

This has pretty much been a week of me getting back into music, and I can thank SXSW (no, I can't go....) and Gorillaz for that. Last Friday I got the free tracks from this years SXSW bands and just listened to music that whole day. Ok... so for the majority of that evening, I was doing dishes too, but it was still a cool experience just to listen to music for enjoyment again, especially listening for something new. I found a few tracks that I really liked, but I've got a long way to go, so I've still got a lot of discovery to go. Then, on Tuesday, like anyone that knows me already knows, I was stoked about the Gorillaz release of Plastic Beach. I went out and picked that sucker up as soon as I got off work that day. I think I've listened to it 10 times by now, and I'm having a great time (though there are tracks still absolutely don't work for me).

Then I got some new albums from a local music shop I'd never heard of before and now I'm listening to even more music I've never heard before. Basically, it's a great music break for me.

Earlier this week, I got to bike for the first few times since winter started too, and... wow, you don't realize how much you miss it until you get back to it. I took a good hour and just biked everywhere I could. Best time I've had since semester started.

There just aren't enough days like that where I can go out for a long bike ride and just experience life for a while. There should be a mandate for that or something.

Ok, I know this is completely boring at this point, I mean I realize it myself. but I think I'll leave more stories of more things for later.

I know that that is a strange title, but I couldn't really think of anything else to title it at the moment, and I'm listening to that song right now on the ol' iPod.It's an Indiana winter, with snow down everywhere, the sun shining somehow and it's still cold as hell. Honestly, I don't expect anything different.

Had to break for some tea there (Vanilla chai, if anyone's interested).

So... Life's nutty, and sometimes, that's just enough to keep a man sane. Today's a Sunday unlike a lot I've had this past 2009. Most of the year, I actually had to work on Sunday nights till midnight. Not the most fun schedule, but it was work, so I wasn't complaining. This next semester I finally have weekday only shifts, and they're afternoon evening. And it's in my old lab, so it'll just be nice to be back there. Kinda like goin home, eh?

Life craziness sometimes leaks ideas into a head, and I think it's happening to me right now. Obviously, it's got me starting to update on here again, but I'm starting to get ideas again for "Phoenix" and I'm just getting an idea for just a writing in general. It's not a full story, but it's a seed that definitely got potential for something interesting. No details until the idea either dies off or hits high gear, but just thought I'd mention it here anyways.

Probably gonna go catch Up In The Air tonight, maybe Sherlock Holmes later tonight/possibly tomorrow. THEN I'm probably catching Youth In Revolt later this week, all on a gift card. Sometimes, the life of a movie geek is great, and this is one of those times. I'll probably do a "Movies In Review 2009" special later this week to fill out my last full week without classes and to talk about film because, hey, I happen to love it. It's 2010 (Pronounced twenty-ten, folks), and it's a year that should be a lot more fun that 2009, at least in theory. And I'm hoping that I'll take this year to become a better writer through use of this blog. That's the goal anyways. Be back later this week with the Movies In Review '09 special.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not affliated with either Paramount Studios or Warner Brothers Studios. NOR am I affiliated with The Weinstein Company or Dimension Films. I'm just a humble film geek that's a poor college student, so that means I don't get paid by them either. In fact, I have no idea how I'm going to even pay for some of my movies this year...
