Slappin’ my bass

Saw I Love You, Man earlier this evening. It was, as expected, hilarious. Rush songs, projectile vomit, Paul Rudd being awkward… overall a quality comedy.

Before it started, I saw a trailer for Funny People for the first time. It looks pretty spectacular (what with the Jason Schwartzman, and the Eric Bana with his Australian accent!) so here’s a trailer for you all!

2 to midnight.

Firstly. I have a place to live, yay!

Secondly. I really need to stop slacking on the school work I was assigned over spring break.

Thirdly. It’s 2 minutes to midnight, so I must post this.

Lost

After work today I went to an apartment viewing, where I met Rob, a potential new roommate. The place is at the corner of 87th and Lex, which is pretty much right outside the door of the Best Buy I work at, and even closer to the subway station. It seems like an OK place, three decently sized bedrooms, a large(ish) living area with lots of windows, kitchen, separate eating space, other nouns and adjectives that describe pretty much every living space ever. It’s $995 a month, starting April 1. No lease to sign, just have to give 60 days notice if I want to move out.

I’m pretty sure I’ll be moving in there. Rob was a pretty cool guy; when I told him I have to watch Lost every Wednesday, he told me he wanted to be roommates for life. Even if, after a few month’s time, it doesn’t work out, I can move out, no strings, no lease, no name on bills, etc. Even if I just stay for the summer, I’m really looking forward to being someplace other than this dorm room. The nice thing is that I have the entire month of April to move my stuff from here to there, and it’s only like 10 blocks, so that’s good. Yeah, that was today.

the man who owns the news

Today I started looking at craig’s list for apartments and room shares and etc etc etc. I decided that even if though I’ve paid for this place through May whatever (8th, 10th?), it might be beneficial to have a place starting April 1, or April 15, so that I don’t have to move out during exam times, and that I can have enough time to move all my stuff from here into the new place, cuz I don’t exactly have a place for storage, or a vehicle (i guess a taxi would work…) (huh, i already got a response to an email I sent. apparently I’m looking at a place tomorrow already… )

Currently I’m reading The Man Who Owns the News by Michael Wolff, about Rupert Murdoch. and I couldn’t be more uninterested. I’m seriously on page 22 (of just over 400) and I just can’t make myself read anymore. Not because the writing is bad or anything, just because I DON’T CARE. Stupid general publishing course and its making me read stuff about newspaper publishing. Good thing I have about 3 weeks to finish it. It’s supposed to be done by this coming tuesday, but this prof is so… unaware… that it doesn’t matter.

Anyway. Today is day two of my caffeine (and by extension, soda) detox. The headache is subsiding, but the sweet tooth is still nagging. I really want some candy!

insane after only 3 days

I just said, aloud, TO MYSELF, while attempting to play guitar hero, but putting in the wrong game disc “it helps to put in the right proper game.” Either I’ve gone mad, or watching 14 episodes of Firefly in two days has turned my brain into mush.

Noteworthy: Neil Gaiman is on The Colbert Report tonight. WATCH IT. or die. that is all.

spring break ftw.

Today was super lame. Except for the tasty dinner that I made myself, I did a whole lotta nothing.

Tomorrow I have to work for like 6 hours, so there’s that. I also have a take home midterm that I have to work on at some point this week.

Should be an awesome week. Spring break, ftw!
