Stand Alone


College is a fucking sore. Festering and never healing and getting worse and worse.

Yet today was one of the best days I had here in that I overslept and missed my only class - a class so obtuse and unapproachable unless you were born and raised in Japan or you are an asexual Japanfucker - worked out, showered, shaved, brought groceries, met a good friend during grocery shopping, walked back to the dorm with her laughing about how gay Batman Forever is, and got back in time to make dinner and watch two episodes of Lost and new episodes of South Park, Daily Show and Colbert Report. So, really, today had nothing to do with college and it was great.

It's the simple things.

Which is why tonight's episode of Lost finally broke through the thickheaded annoyingness of the current meandering season. The last few episodes got so caught up in setting up and setting up and foreshadowing that the metaphysics and bullshit of the plot thatthe characters wised up, yelled "Hey, fuck you, you plot!" and grabbed the reins from the plot and took over. But then, any episode of Lost that centers on Sun and her life is sure to be a joy, majestic string symphonies, sunsets and all.

Right now would be a fantastic time to be dropped on a mysterious, oft-dangerous island. To quit my job at the fast-food chicken joint or the hotel door. To longer be a student or an employee and just live, to only worry about a lost ring or what to do with the giant cache of food I just found.

But then I'd have to worry about where to plug in my PS2.

Because, goddammit, Shadow of the Colossus is out and I'm not playing it. Not yet anyway.

But soon.

They DIDN'T get away with it. They had to take care of a lotta lawsuits afterwards. :(
