10. Iron Man 2 was great. A worthy sequel. Next weekend: Robin Hood. And I officially am completely stoked about The Last Airbender. The more I see of it the better it looks. Also, Spielberg and Abrams = Super 8. Can't wait.
9. Anyone care to help me rip my sinuses out? This is all Bill's fault. He was sick and bumped my elbow while we were sitting at the table, passing his germs to me. Blast.
8. Got a 42 inch HD flat-screen for very cheap, courtesy of my brother. Epic win.
7. Found Neal Stephenson's Anathem hardcover for $7. Bargain.
6. Can't wait for Memorial Day weekend. Indy 500, followed by Clark cook-out, followed by Calcutta fireworks, followed by bonfire at Welker's. That'll get me through the next couple weeks of work. So helps to have something to look forward to.
5. I miss Virginia a lot. The mountains. The sun. The LU campus. But especially all the great people who I got to see last weekend. (P.S. Congratulations to everyone who graduated this weekend).
4. I'm on the 11am to 9:30 shift this week. Shoot me in the face.
3. I bought a poang today. For those of you who don't what this is (which is probably everyone. I didn't know what a poang was until I sat in one), it is a chair, and a gloriously comfortable one. I am sitting in it as I type this. Money. Well. Spent.
2. How I Met Your Mother is currently my favorite show.
1. “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.’” — Jim Jarmusch
