MAN ALIVE!
I freaking hate my Theories of Mass Comm class - we have a paper due tomorrow (Friday), and it is so freakin hard to write! I am normally a decent bullshitter, but this is almost impossible. I actually had to sit down and draw up an outline!
The paper is on semiotic analysis of a cd cover. I picked one that looked interesting, and it turned out to be an extremely interesting one to analize. The cover art is a palekh (Russian painting), and shows a warrior-like person fighting a dragon-like creature, with a castle and valley of bones in the background. Its acutally chalk full of great signs and symbols to analize, but it has too much to write about. I connected it to 1) the Bolshevik Revolution, and 2) the war between Heaven and Hell. Quite and interesting combination. I think I did the paper justice, but we'll have to wait and see when I get the damn thing back.
My week has been very stressful. This week began our new tennis practice schedule. Monday-nothing. Tuesday- 5:30 to 7:30am. Wednesday and Thursday- 8 to 10pm. Friday- 3 to 5pm. Yeah. That 5:30am practice was hard to get up for. AND - i ended up having a 20 hour day, with 5 hours of sleep, leading into a 19 hour day. Oh yes. I am exhausted. So, then I inquire why I am still awake. But I just finished that damn paper, and I am drinking some beers to help me sleep. Sad, no?
12 days, people. Count them. 12. T-W-E-L-V-E. Then I will be legal. I actually cannot go out on my birthday; my parents want me to come home. So, I am instead waiting until Thursday night to go out for ladie's night at the Paxton Tap. All i need is $5 and I will be drunk. They apparently mix drinks very strong (3/4 hard alcohol, I mean). And beer is $1 for a pint. OH YESAH.
I dream for the next day I can sleep in late. And by late, we're talking past 7am. I hate doing the news in the morning, and now next week I begin teaching Tuesday/Thursday at 8. So I have to be up each day at like 6:45 to get ready and drive. Except Tuesday, because that is when I must get up at 5:15am. PUKE.
Naptime is necessary at this point for me to continue being alive.
OH! I am part of a feature article in the Siouxland weekly news magazine, The Weekender. A M'side alum did a story on the campus radio station, and I was one of 4 cool and exceptional people asked to be apart of the story. I liked it all, minus the picture. No one came to take my pic, so they used the one on the staff section of the website. PUKE. I look like S-H-I-T. But oh well. Plus, I think the alum who did it (whom graduated last year), likes me. He always is around and wants to chat with me. Kinda freaky. Definitely not interested. He's too... not my type.
I love watching VH1's series "I Love the 90s: Part Deux." VERY FUNNY and I can relate to it all, making it more exceptional. And, what is the deal with "Strange Love"? That show is messed up - as are Flava-Flav and Brigitte whatever her last name is.
The girls downstairs are talking about having homosexual encounters - ew. They are, I think, reading from a magazine (the chat is full of stats), but still. Not that I am against homosexuality, but the stuff they are reading is a little, hmm... graphic? I don't need to know how the girl "felt the lucious juices of her best friend" and phrases of the sort. Read in your head, please. As long as I don't hear the details, it doesn't bother me.
Speaking of which... Its been so long, I think I forgot how to properly have good sex. Man alive - we're talking a LONG time. Lets think... October? Or was it September? I dunno... but thats a hella long time. Meaning, I need to get me some ass soon. Its too bad that Mitch doesn't go here any more. My sex partner for life gave me up for Minneapolis.
Amy's pants are on backwards. HAHAHAHAHA! And she is changing in the middle of the living room which I am currently occupying. EW! she just rubbed her ass on me!
Ok. I am going to pop open a bottle of Bud and play some Super Mario. THen I may go to bed so I can get up for my newscast and radio shift. I was bad this week....
