So, it's been several months since I've last posted. I keep having ideas, but never follow through with them. Among the (generally untimely) posts I might end up writing include:
-Why I hate Watchmen (the movie, of course)
-Why I hate V for Vendetta (the movie, of course)
-Why I hate Avatar (a trend? I think so...)
-An ongoing series showing how I, as a snobby film-goer, might be spared from crappy movies
-The quality problems that are inherent in keeping 24 "exciting" (a completely moot point since it's now cancelled)
-The social messages that Pixar is brainwashing your children with.
As you might notice, I've made a few minor changes to the blog. I've ditched the widget(?) that connected to my Twitter account, as I've lapsed into Twitter neglect. I have, however, included a rather ill-fitting Tumblr widget in its place, as I consider Tumber to have much more potential than Twitter. By which, I mean that I'll probably stop using it in six months or so.
In personal developments, I have been accepted into graduate school, specifically American University's School of International Service. You probably cannot tell, but I'm quite excited.
Anyway... I am currently reading Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. They're quite interesting, in my opinion, though he does occasionally write something that seems bizarrely short and devoid of context. It probably would have been good to find an edition with some form of commentary on them. I suppose that's yet another failing of the Great Books series.
