So it’s been awhile. I apologize for that. I also put a counter up on this badboy, I haven’t decided if I’m going to apologize for that either. On the one hand, I like the mystery of thinking the five of you that read this are actually five-hundred, but on the other hand I am curious just who still looks at this explosion of my thoughts.

There’s a whole lot to talk about, and I still don’t know what it is exactly I want to say. I’m moving to Vegas, I’m starting a PhD program, I saw Transformers and Harry Potter 5, and I have no idea which of these topics deserves to be discussed. The first two I feel we can gloss over—it doesn’t really matter what the details are there. At least not right now. The second two I don’t want to give away any plot points, but I would like to say go see them both. They aren’t perfect, but they’re fun, and that’s something.

Overall, however, I’m feeling a little let down by this summer’s movies. This should have been the single greatest summer for movies EVER. Instead, Spiderman 3 blew balls, Shrek 3 was good, but not awe-inspiring, Pirates 3 was okay, Transformers was fun but not addictive, Harry Potter 5 was great, but not all I hoped…in fact I think Oceans 13 was the only one I felt lived up to itself. I have to ask, I have a bachelor’s in English with a minor in Creative Writing and even I know how to avoid some of the plot holes that these movies sport. Why can’t Hollywood manage to write a decent script? Why doesn’t someone look at these stories and say, hey, why don’t we fix that ginormous plot hole right there! I find it incredibly annoying. I just feel like screenwriting, more often than not, has gotten lazy. Either they don’t expect people to notice, or they don’t care. Either way it’s a waste of my money and a betrayal of service. I feel like, if you work in the fine arts, writing, music, art, whatever, you can do it for yourself, but you owe something to your audience. At least unless it has been clearly stated that the product breaks from convention. I haven’t thought this through yet. We’ll have to see what I come up with later.

Perhaps the biggest problem is that I’m going to begin menstruating at some point in the coming week and that’s never a good thing for my state of mind. Life just doesn’t seem the same to me during these times. I’m a little apathetic and a little aggressive, figure that one out.

I think I pin it all down to my ongoing need to see Optimus Prime walking away from a fight with Megatron after completely and utterly, kicking Megatron’s ass. That is what I need to say my life is complete.

But I did see itty, bitty, teeny, tiny, little leather panties. That’s worth something.
