Life is far too hectic for my own good. I've gotten the Blake form of senioritis which equals out to satisfaction with B-quality work since going for 5 A's on top of AP English is absolutely impossible.

Added Joshvar, my main man in Austin, to the amigos list. Removed Emily because her Livejournal is too damn boring. Stop moping and get back to the Seinfeld-style irreverence that we all came to know and love, bitch. =p Anyway, Josh wrote a brilliant rant on cell phones and some other stuff, so he's worth the click.

Added the birthday list up in the top corner.

I really wish I had time to rant. Alas, any spare time I get is going back to reclaiming my sanity between classes and the boredom that is Real Life� right now. I'm off to see if my girlfriend wanders over to wish me to get well soon and all that fun stuff.

Now I'm starting to sound depressed. I'm not as sad as my writing sounds. Really.

The Village Voice:You seem to have grabbed the slang of 'Get Your ----- On' right before it became ripe.

David Rees [author of Get Your War On]: I didn't have to think too long to come up with that title. I think 'Get your freak on' the song was already out there. Even before that, people within a certain demographic knew the phrase. I thought 'get your war on' was such an effective way to make the point. A lot of people were treating this as just another event that was about to happen. But it's a war. W.A.R. It's a war against terrorism. It's not a typical war, it's more a metaphysical war. It was a cool way to play up that a lot of people were not even criticizing this very important decision we had made to wage war in Afghanistan and more broadly against terrorism. It is still a war. If you knew enough about that phrase from hip-hop or whatever, it is just sort of jarring.

TVV: Most of these kids who grew up with that phrase also grew up during Desert Storm where 'getting your war on' only took a couple of months. Like a war is just a fad or a trend.

DR: That's a really good point.

Cheval was horrible. I hope you didn't go (the show closes this weekend).

What the... it's fixed?!

Something, somewhere got messed up. I tinkered with it, and slowly but surely it made a comeback. Lost a couple entries but all is well.

So I might have found some work for this winter. If all goes well, I think I'll be working the CPL tournament those few days before Christmas as a freelancer for Cached.

Off to see Cheval (new Cirque de Soleil show); should be good stuff. Tonight watching LotR once again (woo!)
