Stream of Consciousness

Random thoughts for the day/week/month/whatever:

-- Some people have opened up an ImprovEverywhere branch here in Lubbock, and I happily participated in the first mission - the classic "Freeze" mission, which took place in the crowded Student Union Building. It was pretty rad.

-- I feel kind of guilty for this (and my mother probably won't be quick to understand), but I'm actually really excited about the release of Grand Theft Auto IV next week. It just looks really good, and hey! It has a freakin' story! One that actually sounds alright! Score! Regardless, I've gotta review it for the Toreador anyway, so I have to buy it. Oh, what I do for my job...

-- It looks like I'm going to be working a lot this summer, which means I'm going to be reading a lot. This is good, 'cuz I have a lot to catch up on... My copy of "The Lies of Locke Lamora" came in today (which a friend highly recommended to me), and I still have to read Steven King's "Dark Tower" series, Susan Cooper's "The Dark is Rising" sequence, and the latest Ted Dekker books. Oh, and I need to see what all the fuss about that "Twilight" series is about, too.

-- I still need to revise "The Awakening" and send it out, though tonight I started on yet another project, despite the fact that I have a ton of schoolwork that needs doing... I need to finish "Tobias" as well. People are finally starting to read it, and the overall response has been pretty good so far, both in terms of people enjoying the story and in terms of good suggestions on how to make it better.

-- I left this post open for awhile after I realized I have like 4 papers to write by... Really soon. So I'm out. Later!
