[edit]

I find myself wondering how four years of college has gone by so fast. It feels like it has only been a couple years, if that. And yet so much has happened in that short amount of time. I have changed so much, for the good and probably for the bad too. It’s crazy when I think about it. But enough of that retrospective existential bullshit…

I watched Blood Diamond the other night. I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely aimed at mainstream audiences, but still a really good effort despite its predictability. Leo Dicaprio and Djimon Hounsou were awesome in it, well-deserving of their Oscar noms. And can Jennifer Connelly get any hotter?

I’m gonna watch A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints this weekend. Robert Downey Jr. has been on a roll lately. His performances in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Good Night and Good Luck, A Scanner Darkly, and Zodiac have impressed the hell out of me. This movie has received mixed reviews, but I am still excited to see it.

School is bogging me down. I have two big research papers looming over me that are both due in the next few weeks. I look forward to the day I no longer have to write anymore damn research papers. After I finish those, I can focus entirely on my production classes, which are all that I really care about at this point anyway. May can’t come soon enough…

Sorry for not posting for a month (to whoever still reads this). I’ve been…busy. To say the least. And my schedule is about to get even crazier in another week. Here’s what’s new in my life:

• Finished shooting my friend Ed’s film today – screening in May
• Visited Los Angeles a couple weeks ago – planning to move there in late summer
• Headed to Tennessee this June for Bonnaroo (a huge music festival)!
• Stopped eating red meat (ok, I slipped up this weekend…)
• Stopped drinking soda (again…slipped up this weekend)
• Finished Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica…the best drama on TV today

I’ll try to update more soon, and more often.
