So it's been a little over a year since I've updated this wonderful blog so I figured I owe you, my dedicated followers, a wonderful post.
Firstly, I HAVE A JOB. A 401k. Health Insurance. Dental Insurance. A puppy. Yet I still live at home with my parents...Sadly, the working world is kind of kicking my ass at the moment, as I'm 99% sure that I'm in the wrong field. HOWEVER, with the help of the Allmighty, I will be going to business school in the Fall of 2011.
Fun thoughts: I went to New Orleans a couple weeks ago and it was AMAZING. Nola is one of the best cities I've ever been to. It's so alive and makes me feel really depressed coming back home. Tears.
Another fun thought: I plan on going to New York City, Ann Arbor, Chapel Hill/Durham, and Austin in the next couple of months so if anyone is around...you've got my digitz.
I am going to absolutely totally no doubt in my mind update this often, if only to entertain myself. Live long and prosper, homies.

Job Hunting
Dear Diary,
Today is a day I'd rather be hunting for long-haired buffalo on the Western plains rather than hunting for a job. I am currently watching Season 2 of The Wire for the second time because hot damn, it's amazing. I suggest whoever is reading this to come visit me immediately, as I am in desperate need of human interaction.
Things I've done since being home:
1. Learn to cook a variety of meals
2. Look for jobs
3. Drive aimlessly in search of excitement but (usually) ending in failure
4. Worked on my golf game
5. Bought new driving mocs because they were 60% off!!! What a deal J.Crew...
6. Watched A LOT of television shows and movies (I'm hoping to watch Battlestar again soon...)
7. Look for jobs (again)
I'm also going to Syracuse to watch my BIG SISTER graduate from her masters program. When did we get so old?
So there you have it, an update on my life.
P.S. I really want a kitten :(

Early Edition
This may be a little off topic from my previous posts but I'm absolutely FURIOUS and need to vent.
When the FUCK are the damn suits at NBC going to release Early Edition: Season 2?!? I waited YEARS to get Season 1 (which is absolutely incredible so you should purchase it here: ) and now it looks like it will take another few years for me to get Season 2! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I need my Kyle Chandler. I need my Fisher Stevens. How can they deny me of this and sleep comfortably at night, in their sheets of gold lace? I want all of you, my dear followers, to contact your congressmen and demand justice!
For all of you losers who don't know what I'm talking about, read this blurb: This is an hour-long drama about Chicago native Gary Hobson who becomes a reluctant hero when his morning newspaper reports tomorrow’s headlines. Commodities trader Gary Hobson (Kyle Chandler) is losing it: his job, his home and his brilliant attorney wife. He thinks he may even be losing his mind when tomorrow’s newspaper mysteriously arrives today – giving him a disconcerting look into the future. What will he do with tomorrow’s news? While his best friend Chuck (Fisher Stevens) sees the newspaper as a ticket to personal gain, co-worker Marissa (Shanesia Davis) convinces Gary that the "early edition" should be used to better peoples’ lives. So each day Gary begins anew the struggle to make sense of a world turned upside-down by the changing course of events that come from reading the "early edition."

Things Behind the Sun
I don't really know how the title is supposed to relate to this post but I'm digging Nick Drake at the moment so it will have to do. Speaking of Nick Drake, if you haven't heard his 1972 masterpiece Pink Moon then you need to IMMEDIATELY.
Today is Saturday and that means it's time for singing. Karaoke, meaning "empty orchestra" in Japanese, is an ancient art form that is believed to originate as far back as the 1970s. Originally played by throngs of Japanese men and women in dingy bars throughout Tokyo, karaoke has made its way across all countries and into the hearts of billions (especially my own). As a self-proclaimed champion of karaoke, here are some helpful tips on how to increase your performing stock:
1. When investing in home karaoke machines, be sure to pick up a Playstation 2 and the SingStar series. These games allow you to sing over the actual music videos, which makes for a more enjoyable experience when compared to the usual scrolling text karaoke. True story.
2. Perform! No one likes it when people just stand up on stage (or in front of a television) and refuse to move. It's boring and should be illegal. True story.
3. Make sure there are plenty of drinks on hand. Karaoke is just awkward if you're sober. True story.
On a final note, if any of my faithful readers have pictures of you and your friends playing karaoke, be sure to post them!

Current Obsession: 9
I have been obsessing over this trailer since I first saw this trailer on /Film back in December. It looks incredible.
Official Plot: "When 9 (Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.”

So Say We All!
Friday, March 20th, 2009, marks the special two hour series finale of Battlestar Galactica. It will be an emotional day for myself and the (approximately) 2.3 million viewers who gather on Friday nights at 9/8c. Battlestar, in four incredible seasons, has transcended the stereotypical science fiction genre and has managed to teach me a great deal about the human condition, religion, and perhaps most importantly, the show has forced me to ponder the question as to whether or not Human Beings are worth saving. If you have a trace of intelligence, you'll watch each and every episode of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series from the action-packed miniseries from 2004, to the final season in 2009. Please, for the love of the Gods, watch this frakkin masterpiece.
