Christmas 2009

Going to be one of the best! Almost done shopping, going to see my dad and stepmom and then my mom and stepdad. Mom's in town now shopping with me. :)

Rational Self-Interest

The Blazers make me very happy. Long has the day been since the "jailblazers" and thank God. I'm consistently impressed with how unselfish and ego-free this team is, and I'm currently watching them play the Bulls at home.

Go Blazers!

November

Well.. as of the 13th, I am officially 30. Woohoo.

I am going to game day with Joel today at The Cooler. It's a fun place. I got french toast there a few weeks back for a game day. Good stuff. Ducks play the Arizona Wildcats. Going to be a really good game, and I'm stoked to go and get my day started early and down a bunch of coffee to make my Saturday a very productive one.

I have to fill out my FAFSA before Monday so I can start getting the financial aid ball rolling before I had back to take a few prereqs at Lane Community College. Here we go!

The Chess Player, Silent Film, State of the Union

Migraines are much better and more under control, although I can say with certainty that they still certainly occur and daily at that.

I have spoken to so many people through my work (as a pharmacy technician) that I feel really blessed for that job and completely at ease discussing my symptoms and other people's.

There are so many regimens for the treatment of this chronic condition that discussing it with others really allows me to feel good about the future. I hope at least some of that has worn off on others as well. A girl brought in a card for a very bargain acupuncture and that was really sweet of her.

I've been watching so many movies. Currently watching a 1927 silent epic, The Chess Player. Criterion (through eclipse) released a couple of his films (Wooden Crosses and Les Miserables) so it is good to have a basic introduction to his work before I work my way through that sometime in the future.

School/Life

Kickin it at the lab, working on some video editing. All seems well. Writing a lot of film stuff lately.

Big month ahead

I'm moving out. I was essentially kicked out. It's a good thing. I need to turn a corner and bring things into sharper focus. I sit in the computer lab, finishing the editing on my first film, a very late film for my Experimental Animation course from the Spring last year.

Tuesday the 2nd of June, 2009

Well it is official. I am moving out. I will be in a one bedroom apartment downtownish and much closer to campus.

Watching Wendy and Lucy in a class right now. Excited about seeing it finally.

Much love,
