My Girlfriend

Her name is Sally and would you believe she is 4 years younger than me. Man, that makes me almost as filthy as Andrew, just stealing from the cradle, aren't I? Thanks to attending Santa Monica College, I get to see her almost every day. We make the hottest couple when we are listening to my I-pod, singing away as we cruise the 405. You think I spent a lot of moolah on Kanako? I spent $2400 dollars on my baby. We know each other so well I can tell if there is the slightest problem with her, even by the tiniest grumble she gives me. We are inseparable. Her favorite color is silver. Oh, and did I mention she's my car?

Well, I hope you guys thought I was serious up to this point. MWHAHAHA! No drama for you deprived individuals out there. I just wanted to tell you guys that when I say I think my car is not happy, my car is not happy! When you guys made me drive to Sunset for Stephanie's birthday, it turns out my car engine had ripped off from it's mounts. Meaning the engine was swaying underneath my hood tearing up a variety of the hoses. It's a miracle my engine didn't just fall out on to the street. So, next time I say you should drive *cough* Daniel *cough* , you should ^@#$ing drive. My car is back in working condition and purs like the kitten I know she is.

The lastest news with me is I've applied for a job at the Cheesecake Factory, and if you guys could, please pray that I get the job. The sooner I get a job, the sooner I can look seriously for an apartment so I don't have to commute so far. This last week I had to wake up at 4:30 a.m. so I could catch the bus at 5:22 a.m. so I could make it to school on time. One way took about 2 hours and 30 minutes meaning I spent 5 hours sitting on a hard cold steel bench. I dressed like a nanook so I could survive those rather cold early morning hours.

I'm really enjoying my classes at SMC and have taken a new appreciation in film. I've seen much of the footage from early 20th century and have started some great 1920's films: The General (Buster Keaton) and the Gold Rush (Charlie Chaplin). I hope to see some other films starring other big stars like Mary Pickford. Art is interesting and it's hard to believe all of the thought that goes into each detail in a painting. I found an appreciation for Byzantine art now. These two mediums have inspired me to start on my first videogame. I've found an amazing program which will assist me in making an RPG (Stephanie, in case you were wondering, it means Role Playing Game).

Next time I post on the blog, I hope to tell you guys that I have a job and the basic plot for my game. Travis and I are meeting tomorrow to discuss ideas. Peace out and I hope all of you are doing well. As for you Bostoners, I hope you stay indoors and warm. Don't die on me out there!

is "nanook" some Midwest term? Or does my vocab just suck.

"Nanook" is a term for esquimo. My dad always uses the expression "You look like you're dressed like Nanook of the North." It originally comes from one of the first (if not the first) documentaries ever created, "Nanook of the North" by Flaherty. Thank you Film Studies. WOOT WOOT!

and is "esquimo" the same as eskimo?

Sorry, guess I was thinking in Spanish because, you know, sometimes I do that.
