4:03 pm	MARCH SUCKS So since everyone I know on LiveJournal was at the party on Sat let's gossip about it. Much drinking. Katie was blitzed as everyone could tell. If i hadn't gone home with her myself I wouldn'tve doubted hearing about her awakening in a gutter on Sunday Morning. (kidding roomie, no doubt you're filled with rage right now.) I talked Ska with Jesse and Marissa. Romi (sp?) and Ariel solved the middle east conflict. Ali almost showed her boob. I stole her Ray Bradbury book. Cheese things. Victoria was wearing a new H&M shirt. Sara changed her bottoms, but not for any exciting reasons that I'm aware of. Her hair was straight. No doubt it is now curly. We talked religion with Ariel. Sex is a guilt-ridden dirty act. Current Mood: blank (4 Comments |Comment on this)

4:37 pm	SCIENCE DESIGNING Yes, I am updating two days in a row. Today has been a nice relaxing reminder of what my job at Trollback was like before they started making me actually do work. I've been surfing the web (not so killer waves), IMing, and listening to much music. So tell me people, i have an idea for a career for myself. Tell me what you think. SCIENCE GRAPHICS DESIGNER So you know when you see documentaries and they have those graphics that describe how sickle-cell anemia works, or show how a blackhole forms, or maybe the differences between a homo sapien skull and an neanderthal skull? Yeah, well I go into the business of being a graphics guy who specializes in just doing that kind of shit. I think this would be fun for several reasons. 1. I wouldn't have to think TOO much, in that I'm not really creating anything from scratch the way that professionally writing does. This stresses me out. 2. For research purposes I get to buy tons of school science books. I've always enjoyed these books, not especially because I'm very good at science, but because i love looking at the visual explanations of things. Granted I own no books of this kind now, but that's because i have absolutely no use for them. And think about all the cool archaic scientific drawings and shit! A better and more exciting component of this is having other visual aids at my disposal like skulls, skeletons, posters of the body working, or the solar system working, etc. Essentially the idea is to make my studio look like a mad-scientist lab. 3. I would get to continually research and learn how the certain aspects of science that I enjoy work. This is also benefitial to my clients, because I'm actually interested in accurately portraying the subjects that i am paid to graphically illustrate with flying 3D renditions of how DNA replicates itself, or whatever. 4. I get to feel that I am doing some sort of creative work, but also something that has a bit of science twist, science being something that I have an infinite respect for, but not a natural predisposition for, and creative work being something that I have a natural predisposition for, but not an infinite respect for. 5. Just think of the job possiblities: motion graphics for documentaries, graphics for exhibits at Museums of Natural History, graphics for sci-fi films that in some way need cool sciency graphics, children's books that describe how the universe and human beings work with playful and fun metaphors involving machines and such. Ok, that's all for now. What do you people think? Current Mood: predatory Current Music: TMBG Venue Songs (6 Comments |Comment on this)

2:01 pm	UPDATED I've been told recently that i am becoming livejournal guy who doesn't update, but only comments. well here ya go. also, i've decided not to care about spelling or grammar in my livejournal entries. i'm not going to reread what i wrote or anything. i'm sorry everyone if who i really am, grammatically speaking infuriates you. so what's been going on with me? well the other night this girl shannon that i met at new year's and made out with actually called me, after a long stricly email correspondence. it was cool, although im nervous about it becoming another cleveland girl kind of thing. however, i think i'm being most honest this time with myself, and the girl involved. shannon has a really nice voice. i've found that voices can really send a person from 'cute' to 'hot.' jenna welch's - friend of mine from HS, and still friend - voice makes her go from attractive to really attractive, for example. and if chandra is reading this she is no doubt burning up with hate and disagreeability right now. chandra, let the hate go. that's what jesus would do. in other news i'm thinking again about shaving my head. but this will never happen, so let's just move on. in fact, let's move on to the end of this entry.

4:08 pm	UUUURRRRRRRRRRRAAAAHHHHHHH So I feel like total fucking shit today. Last night there were several bad ideas, that of course at the time seemed great. Let's see where when things went totally wrong. Watching super bowl with Katie, Jon, Victoria, and her friend Krusty. (things seem to be going ok) Buying 40s with Jon, along with other beer and drinks for the ladies. (things still pretty normal) Finishing 40s, drinking another beer. (hmm . . . . ) Taking shots of Rum, probably about 3 to be exact. (Ok, wait, shots? Ok, wait, Derekh has to work in the morning.) Go to Bar 4. (Good idea, not bad.) Begin drinking Red Bull Vodkas. (THIS IS WHERE EVERYTHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG.) Katie leaves the bar. Jon, Krusty, Victoria and I continue to drink drink drink. Kidnapping Jon and encouraging him to drink without his GF was probably a bad idea too. Sorry roomie! (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:10 am	WORST MOVIE EVER? You know, ever since Jesse and I got in this debate about how good the movie 'the shape of things' was I got inspired to ask you all a question; what is the worst movie you've ever seen, and why? or, what movie do you hate the MOST for whatever reason. do tell.

9:58 am	No Luke, I am actually British I came up with something new that really bothers me about the transition from Hayden to J.E.Jones as Darth Vader in the Star Wars series. J.E.J. has a British accent, and a very distinct one at that. Just imagine a Vader saying 'skywalker.' He doesn't say sky-wak-er with the long American 'a.' It's more like sky-woool-ka, with that long british 'a.' So really, i wish Lucas would've cast a british actor as Anakin, because of the accent thing. The way I think about it, the people from the old days are British, like Obi-wan, and Quoi-Gon, and of course Darth Vader who has a british accent in the original films. And then the younger generation have American accents, like Leia, Han, and Luke. Maybe there's a built in english accent drive in the Vader suit. Thoughts?

1:07 pm	Rockin' Robin: Life lessons from Danny, Joey, and our PEER, Jesse So after a night of heavy drinking, and fraternizing with all sorts of unscrupulous people, katie and i rose to eat breakfast and watch some TV, more specifically, FULL HOUSE. I personally don't ever remember seeing the episode before, but the basic idea is that Danny, Joey, and Jesse's man's night out on a fishing boat is crashed by Jesse's old GF et backupsingers (who all seem to be channeling prostitutes from the 80s in their demeanor and fashion [in one touching line, jesse's ex revealed that the last time they were on a boat together they 'got crazy' in every room]) and some hot young girl who is the captain of the boat and takes an interest in danny. At the end of the episode Full House exhibited it's relevance once again in two ways. 1. Uncle Jesse confessed that he indeed wanted to have his own record deal by the time he was 24. He then admitted that he is in fact 24 . . . .AND A HALF. FUck fuck fruck fuckalskdjfliuasldvkjoasidjfoijasdoij. Since when are WE as old as uncle Jesse, as in Jesse from Jesse and the Rippers, as in Jesse who marries aunt becky and has twins, Jesse who's sister died during the birth of Michelle Tanner, and Jesse who's Elvis-obsession borders on the clinically insane. Do i need to go move into my dead sister's husband's house, so that I can help bring up my nieces, and teach them life lessons while accompanied by a chorus comforting violins? 2. The relevance of danny's romantic troubles parallels mine to a tee. Danny, who is still too afraid to get into relationships after the death of his wife, has trouble opening up to the girl who near the end of the episode invites him out on a date. He of course says 'no, this was all a big mistake,' hurting her feelings. After coming to his senses, he then admits to her, 'you know, im just not ready for a relationship right now, but i REALLY like you! could we just be friends?' to which she of course give an enthusiastic 'yes!' But katie and i know how this really goes: Derekh (playing derekh): Listen, I'm really not ready for a relationship right now, but i really like you. Can we just be friends? Katie (as derekh's love interest): YES! Derekh (relieved): whew! I feel so much better. (the two hug) Katie (underbreath, barely audible): I love you. Derekh: What? Katie: Nevermind.

11:38 am	CAUGHT READ HANDED Attention Evil friends of mine, As you may have noticed the entry that I put up yesterday has been deleted, because the most horrible thing that could ever happened, in fact happened. Yes, that's right; the person about which the entry was about, somehow found it online, and got to gaze into the wicked twisted view that is me, and all of your caddy/cruel/funny responses. Honestly, I feel like a complete piece of shit, supersized McShit. Lisa, and don't think that I don't know that you may be reading this right now, thinking 'yeah derekh, if you felt so bad about all of this why won't you call and apologize, like a man.' well maybe I will, or maybe we just shouldn't talk anymore, since clearly my response to your first letter (which was maybe we just shouldn't talk for a while so we can chill out), didn't do a whole lot of good. I never wanted this to happen, especially the you finding the journal posting (which I'm quite baffled about, considering I just started the journal days ago, and there would be no way to find it except though extensive google searches for people like my roomie), so I'm really really sorry. I betrayed your trust in the most hurtful way, I realize this, and I hate myself for it. As for all of you live journal commentors, you are now dammed to the world of evil gossipers. Blogging is a dangerous game. Current Mood: guilty (5 Comments |Comment on this)
