Lazy Sunday

I didn't do jack today. Tomorrow is the first day of classes. I feel way under-prepared, but I realize that's pretty impossible for the first day.

We had our hall meeting tonight. I'm the 2009-2010 Hewitt-Johnson Hall Treasurer!!!!!! It's so...whatever. I'm supposed to put a sign on my door denoting it, but I think I'm just going to go ahead and cover my door in $100 bills and call it good. I think I'm going to put the house funds towards a hot tub for the lounge. That would be the cat's meow.



LOL!
What are those catz gonna do with moniez? They've got no thumbs!

Over and out.

(1) Day of Ames

I'm in Ames now. I have asbestos in my ceiling, and I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure there's no internet access in my room. I don't see an ethernet jack anywhere, and the wi-fi doesn't penetrate the cement walls. FML. Flipside: (500) Days of Summer was the best movie ever. And Jimmy Johns really is freaky fast.

The Summer Ends

Last night in Pella.  No one else is here.

So long, summer '09.  You have been good to me, but you came to a very abrupt end.

Everyone gives Pella a bad rep, but I personally love it.  Nowhere else in the world are so many great people in the same spot at once.  Except maybe the Oscars.  But seriously, to my Pella friends...you guys are fantastic.  I only wish we could have had a bunch more days of chill time before we all went our separate ways again.  I don't feel like I got to see half of you half as much as I would have liked.  I'll make it up when we meet again.  Promise.

But in the meantime...

Ames, you have roughly 12 hours to prepare yourself.

I saw The Goods tonight.  Jeremy Piven plays essentially the same character as he does in Entourage.  He even has an associate named "Babs".  Will Ferrell's first scene is incredibly funny.  The movie as a whole was really choppy and disjointed, but there was some pretty hilarious shit in it.  I would recommend it for a laugh.

Upcoming on my list: Inglorious Bastards, Shutter Island, Halloween 2, and 500 Days of Summer ... I realize the clock is ticking on the last one, but I'm optimistic I'll catch it before it leaves.

Kinda like summer?

School is for Losers.

I don't wanna go back to college in a week.  I mean, I'm kinda excited to see how the new year in the new city is going to go, but seriously...it can wait.  I like where I'm at this summer.

Dammit.

FIRST FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT!!!!

Football season is the best time of year.  Here's the results of the draft in my first free Yahoo! league:

QB:  Matt Shaub (HOU), Jay Cutler (CHI)

RB: Steve Slaton (HOU), Pierre Thomas (NO), Kevin Smith (DET), Derrick Ward (TB), Chris "Beanie" Wells (ARI)

WR: Larry Fitzgerald (ARI), Braylon Edwards (CLE), Kevin Walter (HOU), Miles Austin (DAL), Mark Clayton (BAL)

TE: Brent Celek (PHI)

K: Nate Kaeding (SD)

DEF: Dallas Cowboys

Obviously it's not perfect, but I'm pretty pleased.  I may need some tweaking at WR...we'll see how Miles Austin pans out...

Something's Amiss

I'm not sure what it is, but something has had me sailing off an even keel for the past week or two.  I feel like I am having a lot of trouble focusing and making any kind of decisions.  And I'm pretty sure it's messing with my sleep schedule and my appetite.  Both are really sporadic.  That's actually a pretty good word for it.  Everything feels sporadic.  

You know what I mean?
