rock over London. rock on, Chicago.

Indiana lost this weekend. I was pretty upset. I’m just going to go ahead and admit that.

I am at home. there are two killer movies on the tube: “The Hunt for Red October” and “The Goonies.”
this is the perfect storm of movies that are better when you watch them on a video you recorded of an earlier television viewing. so that you have to fast forward through the dated commercials and adjust the tracking a lot.
this is how I first saw “The Road Warrior” at Spencer’s house when we were like, 9. Spencer one day was all like, “yo man. check this out.” and I remember watching it, and because I knew it was Spencer’s dad who had recorded it off of television, I held him in awe: how awesome or crazy an adult must be to actually watch this kind of shit.

and oh man, this commercial for “The Forbidden Kingdom” just came on. it’s some big Hong Kong-looking action feature with Jet Li and Jackie Chan, and it’s gonna be the bomb diggity. it’s just, wire stunts and over-the-top costumes and lots of hair and bad lines and it’s gonna rule. this comes out soon. I am pumped.

my landlord keeps showing my apartment.
I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m thinking about signing the lease. it’ll be a 12 month lease, but it can be broken. and it’s looking more and more like I’m not going to be ready to go anywhere by the end of May, I seriously don’t want to have to look for another apartment in Charlottesville. so I should just sign again and start planning on getting out of here instead of leaving on an arbitrary date.
thoughts?

I feel like I should be using bullet points. I have absolutely no flow anymore. just a paragraph break, and a new thought. that’s what you get when it’s quantity over quality.  

I took a day off yesterday and drove to DC to hang out with my brother. we watched the WVU/Duke game at a bar on Capitol Hill, early in the day. it was a good game. all I remember is we watched a lot of basketball, and put at least six bucks into the juke box. woo!
today was Easter, and I was suprised at how many businesses were open. I always kind of assumed it would get the Christmas treatment. but it’s funny how the holiest day in the Christian calendar just kind of rolls off most people’s backs. everyone goes fucking batshit for Christmas, but not Easter. Easter’s heavy! Pontius Pilate has Christ killed, and he gets up again two days later! miracles, man!
my neice has been christened, but my brother and va aren’t especially religious. he told me, once, that it’s just a cool way to tie someone to a family, which I have to agree with. I’m not really into the whole faith thing, but the Orthodox religion is a beautiful one, in its own way. the ceremony of it is interesting.
also, being part of the Orthodox church is, at least, something to talk about at a cocktail party if you’re completely out of other banter.
“Let me tell you about my god.” you ever lead with that?
