Well, this weekend pretty much sucked ass. I watched all of Eva on Fri night/Saturday and managed to come out with my sanity. Aside from that, I was really really lonely, especially on Sunday. I was in one of those moods where nothing seemed right with the world…like nothing I did mattered. I didn’t have anyone to talk to either, so I whiled away my time in front of my TV with some Smirnoff Ice and a box of tissues. Sadness really takes a toll on one’s body and mind.
Jules showed me this crazy little game called “Stair Dismount” where the object is to push a guy down the stairs and see how much damage you can do to his body. The higher the damage, the more points you get. It’s horrible, but I think that is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. I first saw it at work this morning and I got on a laughing spree that has finally now just begun to subside. Some of the “crunch” noises are just awful and his screams are piercing…he makes this “greeeee!” sound sometimes that makes me laugh so hard I gasp for air. I guess that means I have a terribly sick sense of humor…I mean, this really should not be funny at all, but it just is. That game has made my day bearable. I really felt alive when I was laughing.
Sigh. I’ve got night class tonight which I’m not looking forward to whatsoever. I really would rather just take a long nap, snuggled up on my couch. Instead I have to stare at a monitor in the Mac Lab for a good 2.5 hours. At least the project we’re working on is rather fun, so it’s not all bad.
OH! I nearly forgot! I came away with an AB on my art history exam. I was sooooo happy when I saw that…it almost made giving up my entire weekend for studying worthwhile. I may just pass this class if I do well on the next two quizzes and the final. I guess that just means, though, that I’m going to have to study my ass off for those tests as well, if I hope to get anything better than a CD (based on her crappy grading scale anyhow).
Finished reading “Red Dragon” and I can’t wait to see the movie. I’m also somewhat interested in seeing “The Ring” although that one can certainly wait until it’s out on video before I watch it. I started reading a novel by Eric Idle of “Monty Python” called “The Road to Mars.” So far it seems to be a bit like “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” in that it’s set in space and has that brand of humor. I can imagine Idle may have been inspired by that book.
What else….? I sold off some VHS tapes on ebay and got almost exactly what I wanted for them so I was really happy. I think I’ll be opening up a savings account to pour in money that I get from things like that so I can’t spend it on stupid things. I really need to save because I’m dirt poor at the moment and I have some really huge expenses coming up starting in January. Dammit. Why does the world have to revolve around farking money? That makes me so mad. Yet, I can’t not spend money, and can’t not have things. I guess I have a very strong materialistic nature that kind of controls my thinking…which I don’t like one bit. I suppose that comes from not having much when I was younger, so now that I can afford things, I buy to my heart’s content. But that’s the problem right there…no matter how much I buy, I’m never content. So if I realize this, why do I keep spending? Why do I buy 50,000 video games that I know I’ll never finish when I have that many sitting at home, some which have never been touched? I don’t know. I don’t understand.
And on that note, I think I’ll have supper then go to class.
