biblical reference for the day: Lazarus

well, as it's been nearly a week since my last post...

Sunday evening i went to meet w/ my group for my english project so i taped Futurama and The Simpsons...i went by Justin's and found out he has Power Point...

Monday school happened...i didn't get too much sleep and then i got another hour after class...i went over to Justin's to prepare my algorithms presentation on his laptop...i spent the evening doing that...at one point we went to eat at New Nam King...i guess at about 2:30 am i finished that part and went home to write the corresponding 6 page paper...i did it...i got no sleep at all that night...(WARNING: if you're easily offended/disgusted/really don't want to read too much imagery about me, please skip to the next paragraph...) and, of course, a few hours before i was to give this big presentation, i came down w/ a very painful case of diarrhea...i guess this was sometime between 4:30 - 5:30...let me reiterate that it was very painful...i took an Immodium AD but i still felt queasy the rest of the day...as well as on the verge of vomiting...i think i had gotten a virus...

so after not sleeping all night and feeling a bit ill, i went to class to do my presentation...and i think i can honestly say that it was one of the worst things ever...it was god-awful...not only did i completely stutter through the entire thing, but my conetent was also horribly lacking...after that i went back home and started to get to working on my english presentation...i did accidentally get about 2 1/2 hrs while i was reading the articles...i just passed out, but then i woke up and got back to it...my group did a little communication over AIM...i finally wrote the 10 entries of my annotated bibliography...i guess i finished like 3-4 in the morning and emailed them to one of the girls in the group who was printing out the final thing of everyone's stuff...then i taped off the two scenes of Naked Lunch that i was going to show to the class...then i started getting to work on my 2-4 page composition for my spanish class...after having gotten a handful of hours of sleep over the course of the past 48, i got to the point where i could barely focus my eyes...i thusly only wrote 1/2 a page...it was pretty awful...then i went to sleep for like 3 1/2 hrs...

went to school...i spent like 7 min studying in my car in the parking lot before class for my calculus exam...i guess i did alright on it...then to my spanish class where i faked being awake...also, just before that class, i prepared my notes for the presentation...then to english class where we did the presenation...and: we actually did a good job! i'd say our presentation was actually the best of the class...which helps me to forget about the 2 horrible jobs i had just done for those other classes...the best part was: one of the scenes i showed from the movie was the scene where he tells the story of the man who taught his asshole to talk...i was very proud of getting to show that in front of a class...i also showed the last scene of the movie where "Burroughs" shoots his "wife" for the second time...i don't know if i mentioned this last week, but the last time i watched the movie on Sunday, i actually made sense of pretty much everything...i don't know if there's something wrong w/ that or not...getting back to my car there was a funny note from this rocker on my windshield, which amused me quite a bit then i went home slept for like an hour or so...i woke up and watched The Simpsons...then i was going to sleep a little longer when Jacques called needing a ride from work...i went and picked him up and hung out at The Apartment dead tired...Jenna came over and we watched American Beauty...Jacques said i was really "cool" 'cuz i was being all stupid in my immense sleep deprivation...then i went home for sleep...

i went to sleep at about 4 or so and i didn't fully wake up 'til like 5:30...i went to make a sandwhich then Jacques called 'cuz he had gotten off work early...so i went and picked him up...we went back to my house so we could finish working on our stories for the writers group there...i now have just over 2 pages on mine...then we went to Jenna's house...we just exchanged stories (since it's officially just the first meeting...) and watched this Danzig video...oh dear fucking lord that was one of the funniest things ever...after that we went to see how much the Meat Puppets show was (even though they haven't been good for the last 15 years, i thought it'd be at least of a funny curiosity to go see them, since they WERE good at one point...) but it was far too crowded and Jacques just simply refused to go anyways...but it was too crowded and the closest parking spot was too far away to be worth it...i dropped Jenna back off home and we first went to the Wherehouse Music near the Mall of Memphis, but, for some reason, it closes an hour earlier than the one on Highland...so we went there where i got:

Codeine: The White Birch
Tom Waits: The Black Rider
We: As Is.
New Order: Brotherhood (the Factory Records pressing that doesn't have the band's name or album title on the cover...sweet nerdcoreness...)

then back to The Apartment where i sat around for a few more hours...then home again...

today i woke up, showered, deposited my check at the bank, mailed off our cover of "Strawberry Milk" for the Free Kitten tribute album, and went back home...i did my evaluations for the other members of the english project group and i'll be dropping those off on my way out today...and here i am and stuff...
