I read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" today. Very good book. Excellent. I has a lot of stuff that wasn't in Blade Runner which I wish was there. The movie is still good, the book is just different.
What was most interesting about the book was how it questioned what is really human about us when empathy seems to be the only thing that connects us with others, and yet even that is not a prerequisite of the human experience. Drugs can take away empathy. We can take away our own empathy and become as cold as an android. The novel gives hope for the human race and takes it away at the same time, as everything the main character loves is taken away from him or proven false. It asks, "What makes us human, when everything is just an electrical impulse sent over our bodies, much like that of a machine?" A question very much like that asked in the Matrix, which as many of you know, I am obsessed with.
Not much else got done today. I ordered a sub for my dad and sis with everything on it, and for me just letuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. They gave me everything too. Bastards. My dad wanted to watch We Were Soldiers with me, so we did that at 8. It's an interesting movie, one of those that is better when they aren't talking. It's fueled by amazing battle scenes spoiled by cheesy cringe worthy domestic situations. Also, if you want to see something really interesting, watch this with say, Apocalypse Now, and see the vast differences with how the war was portrayed.

Finally put my clothes away today...that cleared up a lot of room. One, two more days and this place might actually be livable. I hooked up the internet in my room today also. Yea, no more freezing in the basement during the day!
Also, I've made two meals already, and NO food poisoning. I'm so proud.
I found out that I have $44.30 in change. Hopefully I can buy something good with that. I am desperate for cash, my friends!
Tonight's CSI was one of the grossest ones I've ever seen, and it ended with submission/domination! Score!
Yeah, I have next to nothing to talk about. Till next time!
I want to get me some "Wound Filler".
Anyone see the Six Feet Under advertising campaign where they made fake ads for beauty products for the dead? My favorite is "wound filler." Man I want some of that.

Anyone else hear that there is going to be a Lord of the Rings Musical? Uh...yeah...
Got me a new laptop! See it here:
Not much else going on...summer is going to be very long this year.

Home again, home again, jiggidy jig.
Last night I didn't really eat much, except for some spicy salsa and peperoni. And a margarita. Plus my basement is colder than a witch's titty. I thought I was going to puke last night. Thank god I didn't.
Trying to fit everything in my room is next to impossible. I just have too much, too little room. Man it's a bitch.
I saw the Matrix Reloaded again today. Third time. Still awesome. Can't wait for the third one.
Unfortunately, after we left the theater the van wouldn't start. Battery died unexpectantly. What a bitch. We needed to get a jump before coming home.
Do you know in your lifetime you will swallow 8 spiders in your sleep? Makes you think.

Impressions of Graduation weekend:
I didn't drink anything but beer on Friday and paid the dehydration price by having a pounding headache by 1 at the Tent Party. Good things that came from this: I could still hear the music coming from the tent just as well from my room without the pounding, and I got to have a nice talk with Clancy about motorcycles and fight scenes.
Two words: BEER TRUCK!
What will I remember more than everything else when I remember the day I graduated? The lady with painted on neon blue eyebrows. HUH?
I was also amused with the amount of weed to find its way around the graduates lining up.
I don't really remember too much about gradimication. There's lots of little stuff scattered in my mind. I won't go into any of it. The tent was nice though. And bitchass leather diplomas!
Gigi's was really nice, and I got a laptop out of it. Score!
The fireworks were really amazing in Blithewood. Probably the best I've ever seen. To anyone yet to graduate, make sure you see the fireworks!
My Enter the Matrix game somehow found its way to the Po'kip-si? train station and got itself used and abandoned. That whore.
And then one really great evening of talking which actually lasted until the sun started to show its ugly head. For some reason I think I will always remember Dave Warth's Vin story.
Thanks to all that were there and all that were thinking of us graduates!

More Snapple cap wisdom:
Real Fact #59: Brain waves can be used to run an electric train.
Wha wah what?
Also, I realized today that I walk way too fast. This is probably why I don't enjoy walking. It is more being there than getting there. Hmm...
Snapple real fact #44:
The bullfrog is the only animal that never sleeps.
They are really just fucking with me right now. Damn them.
It has recently been pointed out that C'est non un blog is not, in fact, real french. Damn dirty french. I'm not changing the title though, so don't worry (all zero of you who read this).
I just saw Mike Lerman driving down Annandale Road waving a black dildo in the air outside of his window. Only at Bard folks, only at Bard.
I've learned some odd things recently. Like that Anna would rather put a dollar towards cigarettes than a lotto ticket. I kind of understand this: I mean, the chances of you winning cancer is much greater than the chances of winning 15 million dollars. But still...she is for some reason paranoid about where the tax money goes that the government takes from the winnings. But then what about the taxes on cigarettes? Why do you think they are that expensive? Hmm...
Also, does anyone know why we need a "sleeve" for graduation? Why not just walk the right way and not put the arm through the sleeve. I don't get this. I don't think anyone does. It's a wonder that this college can teach one to understand Hegel but it can't teach us why we walk the way we do at graduation.
I got quite tipsy last night after two beers. Mike said that he was feeling it after the first one, and so was I. What's going on with the world?

My Snapple cap says that "The average smell weighs 760 nanograms." Wait, how does a smell weigh anything? Doesn't the smell come from something else? What is smell? How do you define smell? Damn it, the Matrix has got me all fucked up inside.
Last night I wrote a final paper for one of my classes in four hours, starting at ten o'clock last night. Needless to say it's not any good. At all. I think that I've finally mastered the art of saying the same sentence over and over again, a different way each time. Anyway, that is one of the last things I have to do for school. Unfortunately it is not over yet. Some odd stuff to do today, and I should probably write another paper, even though I really don't want to, nor do I know what to write about, but that is life. Graduation is soon! Procrastination is slowing taking over however. Not good. I've really got to stop playing Enter the Matrix and get something done.
