today's song
Dream Theater: Hell's Kitchen
completely instrumental...a story in itself...amazing talent/songwriting...i am overwhelmed each time i hear it.

Question. When conversating, do you normally watch the other person's mouth, or their eyes? Really think about it...and if you have trouble deciding, ask yourself again after a day or two.
I'm discovering that I am a mouth-watcher.

walked/jogged/ran for 50 minutes the other day to get to the stadium (the bus doesn't come around as often on saturdays as it does on weekdays, so i got impatient)...and the Gators lost. intense game...but damn. at least the best team won...i suppose that's what's important. no roses for UF.

MOMENT OF HORROR: my cd player no longer plays Pink Floyd; the first cd of the 2-cd set Echoes, anyway. does it have a personal vendetta against Pink? is my cd player sick of my lack of appreciation for the countless hours of labor it exhudes in bringing me musical entertainment and enlightenment? OR...does the system simply need to be cleaned? You be the judge.

my ear. is killing me. reminds me of how absolutely terrified i would be if something ever happened to my hearing. i seriously might consider...something very irrational if the aid provided by doctors, surgeons, and such wasn't enough to restore it. i had tubes in my ears when i was younger (i used to get ear infections ALL THE TIME, and i think that the purpose of the tubes was to help drain fluid...i'm not exactly sure on the specifics; i should find out), and i've had an ear drum rupture (tear)...so...it is pretty freaky for me. music is absolutely essential for my happiness...and if i wasn't able to receive it with satisfaction...i'd go out of my head. we're talking Beethoven antics, here (after becoming deaf, Beethoven became...pretty odd. look up specifics if you're unfamiliar)...and probably worse. so...away, evil ear spirits...away with you.

i wish i could help brian out in some way...he's so stuck on gettin' a girl...same with brock. those two are so damn picky, though...and there's nothing wrong with that...but lamenting over lack of female companionship when there are girls that really want to get with you seems kind of silly to me. i mean, yes...everyone desires love...but if you search for it too hard...i believe it'll be harder to find than it would be if you just relaxed, and enjoyed all the other fruits that life has to offer. i'm desiring an appropriate famous quote here...but i can't find it. *insert appropriate famous quote here: ____________________________________________________.*

Sigur Ros is...inexplicably beautiful. Pink Floyd is wonderful. Listen to these bands, people.

watched The Crow the other night, for the ____nth time. such a good movie...wish they could make more like that these days. Also watched the Elephant Man, directed by David Lynch. GREAT MOVIE. just...go rent it. Anthony Hopkins stars. just...please. rent it, and watch it alone.
In addition, i just finished watching Almost Famous; also for the _____nth time. I love it...gotta' own it...

5 pages must be written for film class today. i have about...4 hours to do it (assuming i completely forget about sleeping tonight). i'm not worried about the writing...but my neck is really aching. so blah on that. while on the subject, i've recently come to the realization that i have a pretty long neck. agreed?

incense <-------is that how you spell it? regardless...i'm in love with them, and i know that i'm going to become addicted. i'll probably wind up getting an awesome "incense" holder, as well...of course, anything would beat my current one, which consists of a bottle cap filled with already-chewed gum to hold the stick. but man...it's great. it's amazing how the entire mood of the apartment changes with new scent. and it was perfect with Almost Famous...and it's perfect with Pink Floyd...it's just...i know that i'm going to be stuck on it for an indefinite amount of time. i just need more sticks. and a lighter.

alright...i really should get this damned paper done. only...9 more days. NINE MORE DAYS, and i'll be free of practically all stress for almost an entire month. and Christmas. *sigh of absolute joy*
