I woke up this morning at my girlfriend's place...laid in bed for a while. I have a slight aversion to sleeping over at her place, which I don't entirely understand, now. Although, we were in the "nicest" room of her frasorority-esque house, which partially accounts for the currently positive outlook.

I bought some bus tickets later in the day, after class, we walked to the bus station to pick them up. I'm heading to Pappy and Wils00n's school for a day before we all return home, which will be entertaining.

Came back home, started drinking beer and playing Mario Golf - I'm just churning through days, waiting for the break. These past few weeks have been akin to writing sentences as a punishment - I don't know if you've ever been punished like this, you're forced to write some statement, say, 500 times, or 1000 times . Eventually you start fooling around with your writing, one page you write the first letter 26 times, and then the 2nd letter 26 times, or maybe you write 10 words of one sentence, and then the last nine of the next, last eight of the following, trying to create little patterns in the work, in order to brighten up the drudgery.

I like Structure, goddamnit. I have a problem with consumption...when you get stuff a lot, you begin to structure your life around the stuff that comes into it. I'm mainly referring to Sega video games - I collect them, a lot of them, buying and selling them is essentially my job right now (in that that's the only way I make money currently), but most of the money tends to go back into the games, heh, it sounds like a drug addiction. Anyways, I'm fine with the consuming itself, I just dislike the way that the regularity of the buying sort of positions itself as a schedule for my life. Well, whatever. There's this game called Langrisser Tribute Box, only a few thousand made, it's never (as far as I know, literally) been on EBay, and a guy in Japan is going to sell it to me for a relatively cheap price...hopefully this will make enough money so that I'll stop buying games for a while, which is a somewhat exciting prospect (it's not really).

I'm looking forward to summer so I can get some REAL reading done and cover what I think's left out in what I have to read for my classes...it's almost like I'm waiting for summer to start learning, which is just fucked up and stupid.

Flying Tim - don't be hating on English too much man. I see why some of this stuff bothers you, but, like, it's not all bad, critical reading. It's better than reading actual philosophy or anything like that. I dunno how smart your professors are though...it depends, I guess, bleh, I don't know...books am good.
