Backstroke of the West
Yo.
You would imagine that after a week of no response that I would have plenty to say.
I may.
But when it comes down to it, I can't entirely remember what has been said, and what hasn't.
Chippy Cakes. Surely I have said nothing of chippy cakes. They're chipmunks...chips...chips...chippy...chippy cakes.
These muffins were like stress balls mixed with bouncy balls.
So I went to a house show, read some comics, ate some food, watched stump, I might have gone to a play since last time, talked about extreme fall back plans,

Life as of recently:
-) Satisfactory performance in class. Enjoyable topics being discussed. I really enjoy the history aspect of Exploring the Humanities through Film. Essays have been ok in College Writing. Comparative is blah. Japanese is going well.
-) Homies. Saw Tomsta on Halloween. Made some new friends here. Chill with the G-Rowe and Scooty Puff Gang
-) Lady. Is a song by Kenny Rogers
-) But seriously Julia is great. There are humorous stories but now's not the time.
TIred. Bed.
Love it

I don't have much to update.
Actually a lot.
Way too much.
This is just a note to update.
Prompt myself to write and get creative juices flowing. Life is awesome.

Racist Street
Long time no update.
I was really on the ball during September.
But that's fallen by the wayside.
Too much shit to do.
And shit I'd rather do.
I can't even recall last update.
Life has been more of the same. Awesome.
Thursday - Not watching documentaries with Julia. Robits and fun.
Friday - Prudential, Middle Eastern food, and MIT parties with Julia and company. Hindsight says this was a great night. Agree. Juan Carlo Feticini Alfredo de Roma. Fox Movie.
Saturday - Home for Shawn's show. Back ups for Animal Crossing. Singapore. Freebird!
Sunday - Planechase with Kyle. Train to Boston. Paul's birthday celebration.
This is all the time I will commit to this tonite. I should do work. I probably will a little. Might make a call. Last one out get the lights.

Castor
The greatest weekend?
It just might be.
Checklist of things that were covered - Beavers, Zombies, Robits, Psychics, Free Food, Hamburgers, Movies, The Quiet Game, Friday's, Morning Jokes, Conservative Sandwich-Heavy Portfolio, Pokemon, Au Bon Pain, Creepy (wonderful) things, Damage Control Stories, Karma, and beautiful snow.
I should elaborate on all of these but doesn't look like it's happening.
I have work.
But it's too good to not talk about.
Beaver Movie - Starring Kristen Stewart and Wanda Sykes and Nicolas Cage.
5 minutes have passed since I wrote that sentence, and I haven't done any work.
I will save it for later.

"The entire English department will want to fight me. Let's see them try."
So updates as to classes and such?
I guess so.
Writing - Talking about the human body and human tendencies. It's not awkward to talk to my friends about these issues, but not to my college writing professor. I could be the big shot who comes out and talks about body image and sexual opinions, but I figure that would cause quite a stir. I caused a bustle the other day when I said - I keep revising this sentence to make it sound right and get all the words straight. In essence I said that "it's how you use it". You see how difficult this is to phrase. You see how awkward this is to say in a college writing class. You see how my peers might perceive me afterwards. You see how I am also the coolest dude in my writing class.
Comparative - The professor actually praised my group today for being correct. nice. Also i thought I forgot my notebook so i ran back to my dorm, up 5 flights of stairs, only to realize that my notebook was in the classroom all along. It's all good, still foing well.
Film - We switched professors and began talking about philosophy in the 1960s. We talked about how The New Criticism has no place in this course, and about the philosophical elements of To Kill a Mockingbird. We also got out of class an hour early.
Japanese - I am getting confident in my speaking abilities. I am doing decent but i feel like whenever we're learning something new, I'm always the guinea pig in which I am smited by the language. I might break out some hiragana sometime in an entry. But the characters don't appear on the character map. It's all good.
I've also been doing some humorous writings. I'll probably hammer a few out this weekend.
This weekend should be awesome. I may have mentioned this before.
Alright!

Eevee, Squirtle, Sandslash, and Mr. Mime
I'm just going to spitball an entry real quick and then go to bed.
Life has continued to be good.
What would seem like groundbreaking plans for the future are coming naturally and with high hopes.
I am very content.
I hung out with some dudes from our hall and played pokemon for a ridiculous period of time.
Created a loose blueprint as to how we should live next year.
Making plans with Shawn, and Julia, and Bros, and I feel good about all them.
Going home this weekend?
What? Home?

Part 2
I was cut off from my last entry due to a meal with the Scooty Puffs. Those dudes are cool.
Continuing on.
I have a poor perception of time and distance.
This has been established about 200 entries ago.
Thursday - Weird tribal dance?
Elaborate? Sure
I was sort of just walking around taking in my surroundings when I hear Lil Wayne and Beyonce songs coming from a distance. I go in closer and see that there are frat dudes. Dancing frat dudes. In a circle. "Is someone gonna get served?" Then I notice, I'm the only white guy in or out of the circle. And the brothers (they're in a fraternity) start exclaiming how they're gonna "eat some pussy" and "hos mutha fuckin hos". It was a spectacle. There were also sketchy people in red and black. Also a weird sorority party with the windows covered up.
Friday was amazing. Take the train down to (is it downwards in addition to westbound?) Wellesley to spend the day with Julia. Her mother wanted to check out the bead store. Dolphins. They are intelligent, and have a sense of humor (Shaddahp!). [time passes and] Then onto just hanging out. Eventually some SBemail. Some dinner of noodles, ramen, and rice. Meeting Julia's floor mates.
I just had a thought - my floor mates meet hers. That would be utter confusion for both parties.
A lot of time doing nothing but talking. *Eric Massak likes this*
Spirits, freaking out a high room mate with Barry White, androids, questions-comments-concerns, favorite months.
Vodka tomato sauce causes heart burn.
Plenty of stories of weird harvard guys. Keep this in the back of your head, readers. If a gun appears in scene 2, it's gonna fire in scene 3.
Saturday continued the trend of being amazing. Food at a dining hall. Snag some cookies. Warm cookies later, and more emails. "Some people are squirrel-handed". A trip to Whole Foods yields the inner Dad in me, "if it's free..." Free samples of hot apple cider, chips, dips, 2-bite scones. Fresh ground coffee and peanut butter. Celtc salt. Russian finger potatoes. Then onto Thai food! Siam fried rice! Triangles. Then onto tasty desserts, Cabaret of Wellesley. Afro-hatian dance beats like Kanye West.
More chilling eventually leads us on a bus bound for Harvard. A few drinks later leads us to a sweaty 90s party a few calls later leads us to Londa's dorm, stories later leads us back on the bus to a place not too far from Northeastern.
Shower up then bed time.
Today- Wake up. Morning jokes. A good morning to say the least. After Julia gets on the train, I go for some food, then work, then meals with Scooty Puffs. Dance party with Alex. Pokemon battle with Paul.
It's good stuff.
Life is pretty awesome.
I have a new wallet, a whole host of stories, and an optimistic view of the future, especially next week.
Long good bye.

Heterostructure
It seems I am alive.
I say this because I'm coming to terms with what it is like to be active.
I'm kind of a sloth.
But this weekend was full of activity.
*Note- inactivity with some one is still activity in my book.
I can't recall when I updated last.
So let me just go from Thursday on.
Thursday involved my 5 year plan "isn't that a communist policy?" In which I spoke with my advisor for a few minutes as to possible goals and classes. I'm going to meet with her and other advisors to see if I can tack on another major, minor, an extra course. Then we can start talking co-ops, study abroad, dialogues and all that jazz.
I say that a lot now. "All that jazz". I've become to busy to finish giving examples. And I'm too cool for etcetera.
MORE TO COME

Nic Cage
I have 15 minutes until film class.
So I gotta be speedy.
Say what I got to then leave.
This weekend!
Friday = reunion of the gang (pretty much)
Marko, Chay, Garrett, Tomsta, Hilary, Julia.
T for Team.
Going down to the BHOP for some pizzal nuggets.
Then going on an adventure at MIT.
Hanging out in boiler rooms, checking out grafitti, finding old computers. Going in wind tunnels. Hanging out on rooftops, with a beautiful view of my city. Sitting on a dome with my favorite people and some tour guides.
Satuday = Hanging out with Julia. Old Gregg, Party Mansion, Laundry, Patriots victory music, Atom and His Package, the constant presence of androids. Many wonderful things. She is known as the best (around no one's gonna something something forgot the lyrics)
Sunday = The difference between inbound and outbound. Went to see mom, kyle, cousin, aunt for some Bartley's burgers. Closed on sundays?! The worst business decision? Went to Qdoba. Went to kid's book store. Cat book = dick in a box? Dr. Pepper. ODST. Seth Meyers show with Hilary. This was really hilarious. Sign language humor, ebay jokes, couples jokes, armless Germans, etc. Homework. Chattin with the G-Rowe. Bed.
Today = Awful. Locked myself out, lost my glasses, classes in 10 minutes, bla bla bla, it's college.

Trumpets and Bookmarks
So life is pretty damn good.
I am tired and cannot even give details.
But between my lady and a comedy show I am ecstatic.

You gave your love to me softly
It seems all appropriate quotations have been accounted for.
"I want a juice box."
"How good would our lives be if we were in REO Speedwagon?"
"cinematography in Attack of the Clones."
"This may be the worst painting I've ever seen."
Something about how pants are bad.
Something about being pinned beneath girth.
Something about Lil Wayne
More to come when my freaking paper is done.
A fine day.
Happiness unbounded.

Hogan doesn't use elevators! It's all about stair-roids.
Oh hi, remember me?
Yes, the shitty entry earlier.
I just have a topic worth discussing.
A picture frame.
Parents bought it for me.
Not sure as to their reasoning.
Put a picture of them in it?
Eh.
I'd prefer to put a picture of my friends in there.
So I checked facebook.
It's difficult to find a picture of everyone that I want on my desk.
Granted I could be content with some of the pictures I have.
But they ain't perfect.
And do I want a facebook photo in my frame?
That's kind of vain in a way.
A photo online is also in a frame on my desk.
Holy crap, I just understood John Berger's "Ways of Seeing".
The meaning is lost in reproductions.
But with the original, there is a religiosity.
Good to know my brain is functioning the way I want it to.
But yeah, the sweet pic of people with Marko's car is a good one.
But it's hard to see the people or the hammers.
I have a few that have most of the gang, but I'm not one to exclude.
I have a few that are pleasantly outdated.
I guess I'll just make an effort to get everyone together at some point.
Or maybe just my Bostonians.
We'll see.
I settled with writing on a note card, "RENT THIS SPACE call [My number]"
So that way I can have something to look at.
The generic place holder photo was an old guy and his grand daughter. He kind of looked like Ted Kennedy.
I did a bunch of organization in my room.
My desk is clear for homework I don't want to do.
Maybe we'll go see Tom tonight.
Not right now, I have laundry in the dryer.
"No one needs to know we're feeling- Higher and Higher and Higher."
I think this weekend will be great though.
As the little goat on the bottom says- Optimistic
About the way things are going.
I already mentioned homework, right?
Yeah.
So I bid all of you ado.

Let's say California is 3 times the size of Massachusetts.
Today was kind of ridiculous.
I don't have much to say.
I bought a sweet jacket.
Talked to a sweet lady.
And ate some sweet cookies.
Made some sweet mixals as well.

Totalitarianism
Alright, it seems I have time to post an entry.
A real one. Wooooo!
Classes in college:
Comparative Politics- Is an enjoyable class, with a lot of theory and comparing. Today we talked about the difference between authoritarian and totalitarian governments and examples of each. I would enjoy it more if my teacher (he's not part of the department and thus not a professor in my mind) didn't have such a thick accent. Aristotle = Ass Throttle. Weird. He also changed around the necessary books, which means I don't have the correct material, but whatev. The class is enjoyable because I work on my Ngeow impression with my friend from the floor below. "A-tour-tarian guVAMINT *cough* isss en cunt-roll of econo-mix"
Elementary Japanese- AKA Intensive elementary Japanese, which is an oxymoron of sorts. I was worried at first, but I'm starting to get a hand on it, both the pronunciation and the hiragana. So far I learned to introduce myself, formulate a basic question, ask for an item, and how to write alcohol in hiragana. I would demonstrate but character map doesn't have hiragana. I could translate and copy and paste, but then it wouldn't be my work. This class also takes place at 4:35, which cuts into dinner time. I'm pretty sure it'll all be for the better. Hajimemashte.
Film- Is 3 hours long. And taught by 3 professors which is kind of cool. There's the burly history professor, the old collected English professor, and the mildly camp film professor. It's pretty cool to check out various films and dissect the mise-en-scene. It does remind me of Hannigan's film class, which had I not taken would've made this class difficult. It was cool to discuss stylistic vs. realist in terms of directors. We are also going to dabble heavily in German cinema between the Wars. This is good because maybe I'll understand the Mike Myers scene from Inglorious Bastards just a little better. This will might tie into my politics courses. We shall see how it all ends up.
College Writing- Is ok. It's a wait and see course. Supposedly we're going to write about movies, art, and essays written by self-imposed serfs. I'm not joking. It's been tame but it takes place at 8 in the morning on the fourth floor of a building with stairs that only go up 3 floors. Not joking. I bet there's a lot more to be said of all these classes but that's the basic jist.
I went to a Political Science department panel regarding the Obama presidency. That was the most intellectually stimulating I believe. The 3 professors did all sorts of comparisons and analyses that could only come from history buffs, pundits, and presidential nominees. I might have already talked about this, now that I think about it. Obama was compared and contrasted with Clinton, JFK, and Johnson. It was very civilized and humorous to the politically savvy. I uploaded a video of it, which totally changed he direction of my youtube page, but I guess it's normal to have rock operas, jam sessions, dancing puppets, and lectures all on the same account.
So recent events and stories?
I cut my finger. I've told this story 20 times. Time spent teling the story 10 hours. Time spent in the story: 4 hours. Short version- I tried to puncture holes in my shower caddy to drain the water better. Garrett cut a few holes with scissors, so I thought I could. Ended up slicing my pinky finger really bad. I went to the university clinic, who sent me to New England Baptist Medical Hospital on account of a medical glue that will stave the bleeding. There were side-treks and health care fiascos all around. Ended up getting sutures which weren't taken out until today. (This was last Saturday). That doesn't sound very funny, but it has a funny flavor if told live.
Boston Globe headline for a story- "New York Times best-selling author, and father of a recovering meth addict berated by confused Chinese man" (Says something about robots stopping the drug problem.) This happened. No joke.
I will eventually expand and expound but let's just leave them there for now.
I saw an actual fight.
Dating a Wellesley girl? Yup. Saying "love" after a week? Yup. Scandalous and irresponsible? Not as much as it's made out to be.
But seriously, this chica is the bomb.
Went to jail? No, actually. I'm confusing you with someone else? Possibly. Oh ok, sorry about that. Wooooooooooo!
I'm looking forward to the weekend more and more.

Android Poop
So should definitely definitely say something.
Something about root beer?
Smooth, Eric. Real fucking smooth.
Some things are really better left unsaid.
Or at least unsaid on this here journal creation device.
This isn't entirely the place for those happy bubbly feelings that cause you to exhale frequently and deeply.
I've studied hard for Japanese, so at least I have that going for me on the academic front.
Wait, what? Surely the population doesn't suffer from ADD.
In due time.
Let's just break it down to this, a lady has burrowed past the sharp craggy exterior of my life.
The sharp craggy shit is a complete lie.
Don't you hate it when I'm kind of cryptic?
Who likes it when I drop inside jokes?
Who likes it when I don't speak highly of pants?
But yeah,

Oh say say say
I'm not entirely sure what to update about.
I can't fucking learn hiragana.
There's tons of garbage on my desk.
Hopefully tomorrow will be decent.
My buddy's gone out for the night to party.
So I'm studying.
You win tonight.
But this guy's gonna win the war.
