the IKEA shopping experience went well....and i got lots of gifts taken care of. but i have to drag my dad back there so i can buy a plant. a really big one. for my grandparents who are impossible to buy for. we decided that there was no way it would fit into catherine's car.

and last night i did all sorts of school-related goal setting. it's kind of scary how much work i think i can get done in a week....maybe i figure that if i plan to get between 9 and 13 guides done in a week, i will at least get 4 or 5 in. or this will be like every single other week, where i think that i am going to do work, and then i decide not to, and then nothing gets done. ahh.....routine....

surprisingly, i am less depreessed about sunday this week than i normally am. it's strange that i am excited that it is sunday, and i am doing homework. and laundry. ack. i should really not be amused by this.

it's getting dark already. at 3:00. something is wrong with this...

last night, i made the ultimate matt good mix. and since i know you all care (and if not, whatever, fake it.) i am going to tell you what's on it. first of all, it's two discs. because clearly, that is the way to go. and i had problems with that, and contemplated adding a third. but then i just got really lazy, and didn't bother...so anyway...
disc one
primetime deliverance
weapon
i miss new wave
omissions of the omen
advertising on poilice cars
fated
a boy and his machine gun
every name is my name
i, the throw away
change of season
born to kill
tripoli
running for home
flight recorder from viking 7
truffle pigs
suburbia

disc two
1999
as long as you're mine
raygun
look happy, it's the end of the world
enjoy the silence
generation x-wing
euphony
going all the way
vermillion
message to god
radio bomb
casual walks
my out of style is coming back
rico
last of the ghetto astronauts
everything is automatic
indestructible
a better pain
brand new tune
my life as a bircus clown
haven't slept in years
if anyone has an idea as to what to call it, let me know. i am horrible at naming things. seriously. catherine has named both of my pets. and every single screen name i have, has come from a song. i am so unoriginal.

but on a happier note, my voice came back. it was all weird and dead and raspy. and i probably didn't help it at all by going 'hey...cool.', and throwing on some stevie nicks to sing along to...

anyhow, i am off to try and discover the themes to some novels that i read last year. it should be both interesting and exciting. spark notes and pink monkey are my friends...
'every name is my name'
matthew good band


i made a movie about the end of the world
it was 12 seconds long and it didn't have a plot
it just happens
and that's why it's in black and white
the charaters don't talk or move around
they just stare up at the sky, frozen
and the light, the light is numb, the light is off
the light is just a thumbnail sketch of god
god...
somewhere, someone is crying
the camera sweeps over a desolate street
holding a mother and her child
the kid is calm and she is shaking
the camera passes into the sun
come at last to be undone
panicking, she tries to run
the kid is calm
and then the credits rolls
and every name is my name
fuck. this song just reminded me that i have to start doing storyboards for my music video for directing & scriptwriting. arg. i am really starting to hate this course...
