Burning Time Again

It is about 3:18 and I'm at the MLK computer lab again burning time until Dean gets done with his classes. I was actually going to do some reading for my rock and roll class but all the reading, except for the novel we need to read, is done online and I couldn't find the articles. At least Busta Rhymes and DMX is playing on my iPod right now (Where my doggs at?). I got some Korean homework and a couple of career surveys I need to fill out. I am saving those for when the computer lab closes. (Jay-Z is also featured on this song. What a star filled song!) I still need to go buy my US History books. The syllabus for that class says we are required to have 4 books but when you search online it lists 3. One of the books is called "Negros With Guns." Surprise! I feel like I am wasting so much time right now. I don't have enough homework to keep me busy, and I'm stuck on campus with nothing to do. I have been reading ahead in our Rock History novel but I don't want to get to far ahead because I heard that we are suppose to start reading during week 4 because we will discuss and write a paper about it later. Also the book is on the final and if I finish it soon, I'll just have to read it again because I'll forget everything come week 8 and during finals. Its a pretty good book so far though. The book is called Less Than Zero and is set in L.A and the suburbs around it. The run-down on the back of the book says that its about the after-dark L.A life. So far the main character (Clay, a 20 year oldish male) has had sex with a guy and done multiple lines of cocaine. I believe I'm 40 pages in haha. The other day while my iPod was on shuffle, this Britney Spears song I never heard came on. Its called "Outrageous" and its awesome.

When I am walking from class to class, I just walk around listening to music and think to myself. What else is there really to do?! Last semester I forgot my iPod at home. The only time during my soon to be 2 year career at the U that I spent a day without my iPod. (Celine Dion is playing right now and she just held this crazy note for like a minute. Crazy Canadian bitch.) Anywho, the day I didn't have my iPod was the worse day of my life (Not really, but you actually says it was kind of a bad day). I couldn't think while walking from class to class. The city noises seemed to force their way into my ears and into my head. The honking of horns and the sound of tires slurping through the snow. The constant chatter of people on their cell phones. The drilling and dumping of the construction workers. Kind of drove me mad for a little while. I felt like Xavier (I think thats the dudes name) from X-men (Isn't that what happens to him when he doesn't have that metal helmet?). It sucked. I don't plan I forgetting my iPod ever again. And hopefully I can finish pimping my iPod here soon.

One more thing to note before I sign off and go to the library as I wait for Dean to finish. Over break we filmed what is tentatively named Saw1.5. It was the first movie where we used a bunch of special effects. Blood and gore was the main focus of our special effects. I've edited about 2.5 minutes of the 7 minutes we filmed and so far, everything is looking splendid. The movie is probably going to end up being 3 minutes. The end gets a little choppy cause we couldn't sit around and plan out the next move since Dean was freezing his little Chinese ass off. But Dawson's garage really was cold that day. We all had behind the camera jackets on but Dean only had the clothes he had on and corn syrup was being poured all over him. I hope to finish the short little video soon. Hopefully I can show it over the weekend.

My wrists had knuckles hurt really bad since these MLK keyboards suck big balls.
