Got Issues?

So being the studious student that I am, I went to Starkville tonight to get started reading for my term paper. First, I wasn't aware that the library wouldn't open until 6pm, so getting there at 4 I had to wait around 2 hours. I got a bit of reading done at the union. The noisy union. The I went to the library at 6. I fell asleep about 7......woke up at 8. Ate at 8.30. Went back to the library so a secluded corner downstairs to try to read for another hour before concluding that my classmate would not be editing at McComas and would not need me there. Walking among the cubicles I passed by a discarded and yet unreshelved book about scriptwriting and took it as a sign. I picked it up and found a seat......I forgot about my own reading for the next hour. I didn't even read the whole book.....I mostly just skimmed over it.

So once again I accomplished nothing. However, I did get inspired to soon attempt a script. Or at least a good treatment.

Which leads me to this...

I know I'm a total lame-o loser but am I just a prude or something or just a guy who hates crappy movies that aren't really about anything? I'm watching a movie called 40 Days and 40 Nights starring heartthrob Josh Hartnett. Who the heck gave the greenlight for this movie? How does a movie like this get made? It's just a shameless movie about sex-driven 20-somethings. I guess I have too many issues with this movie b/c from the time I started typing I can't remember any of my complaints. It's just a crappy movie. No sex for 40 days? Oooh.....I'm impressed. Try 22 fucking years.

(Oh, I'm sorry, I mean friggin.)
