I'm feeling kind of disenfranchised and melancholy at the moment. And not just because I have a big programming project to get done and quick. I feel very unmotivated to work on it tonight though and I am not fully sure why. For one, I just feel kind of run down. I also am basically already checked out for Spring Break, a time over which I plan to spend at least partially in the cities with some old friends. Gah.
I'm stressing about that though because my friends really want me to come down but money is a problem. Ugh, money. Don't even make me think about my financial obligations right now.
But I think what has me down most of all is I just finished reading "Watchmen" and what a depressing read that turned out to be. Won't spoil it but the end was a pretty big buzzkill and almost made you wonder what the point to it all was. Still a fascinating read, and if you aren't melodramatic like myself, you'll like it too.
I read it in anticipation for the movie this weekend, kinda like everybody else. I don't usually buy into trends but I have been hearing rave reviews for quite some time so I didn't want to miss out.
I also picked up the new Tenacious D complete masterworks and am eagerly looking forward to watching it when I have a few hours to kill. I'd watch it tonight but, well, I flat out shouldn't. Got the new Mars Volta album too, I'll probably listen to it on Friday.
Had a test in Linux today and got 79%. Can't say I'm happy with it but that's the grade I earned. You get out what you put in, they always say.
I'm tired though so I am gonna go lay down, will be back later with more exciting updates!
