Laziness

My first final is tomorrow. So far I haven't done much in the way of preparing. Or anything in the way of preparing. Ugh.

I have been spending a lot of time watching T.V. lately. To be fair, sometimes I do leg lifts while watching or blog (heh, like now) and yesterday I cleaned the kitchen, living room and dining room. That is at least productive.

So now I have all these things to comment on-- media wise

First of all. David Blaine. This guy spent 177 hours sumberged in a bubble of water. Then he tried to break the world record of holding his breath for more than 8 minutes. Now doctors are examining him-- they found liver damage, pain in his feet and hands, some loss of sensation and rashes. Okay, I realize the David Blaine stunt-stuff is not my scene, but does anyone else find this kind of pointless? Apparently previous stunts included balancing on a 22-inch circular platform atop a 100-foot pole for 35 hours, being buried alive in a see-through coffin for a week and surviving inside a massive block of ice for 61 hours, all of which were performed in New York. In 2003, he fasted for 44 days in a suspended acrylic box alongside the Thames River in London.

Um attention hog, much? Chill out Blaine.

Let see what else .... OH! I know. I am so sick of seeing movie previews for the Posedion. Um, hi... that preview is giving me nightmares. The movie looks exciting for sure, and can't go wrong with yummy actors like Josh Lucas and Kurt Russell (he's hot in the older guy way). But seriously, someday I may want to take a cruise and all that's shot to hell if I go see a movie like this... I don't really want images of drowning people in my mind. For this exact same reason, I have not gone to see Flight 93... just not ready to watch that.

In news of more pleasant media experiences. I saw V for Vendetta last Saturday. Very good! Musst recommend that everyone go. Tyler and I also rented the flick "Dear Frankie" a good movie, also starring Gerard Butler. Who if you didn't know, I am in love with. It's the eyes... the 6'2'' build, the Scottish accent the... drool... sorry, distracted.

The days are winding down... less than a month and I'll be living in my own apartment. I have become fascinated with furniture. Sad thing is so much of the pretty furniture is spendy. I think I have a serious addiction. I find myself surfing sites like Ethan Allen, Pier 1... I am delusional if I think I can afford any of these things but I find myself dreaming of over-stuffed chairs and ottomans.

Springfest came and went this year without much incident-- no riots or couch burning at least. This was the first year they banded students as they entered the park and set up a beer garden. Anyone caught bringing in their own alcohol was fined over $300. This was only my second springfest but it was not nearly as good as last year. It's something about standing in line for beer. Springfest is the one day before finals week where everyone gathers in the park to drink some beer, enjoy the day, listen to music and run into other people. It's not about "the man" or pumping money into some businesses beer garden. I'm not going there to get wasted or anything but the atmosphere this year was just not fun. It'll be interesting to see the letters to the editor on how other students reacted. The City is of course, calling it a huge success, but the tone of the event, from a student perspective was anger.

I am going to continue on my cleaning-streak and then perhaps sit down and get some homework done-- finally - can't ignore it much longer.

Take care!
