I'm So Tired

I worked about 11 hours today. I opened this morning at 7 am, and just left the restaurant after 11pm, and I wasn't even a closer. I'm just slow at rolling my silverware.

In other news, I've been watching random episodes of the latest season of Degrassi, and I'm not exactly enjoying it, but for some reason I just can't stop watching.

I missed a post yesterday. I just realized that. My bad.

I feel like I owe you guys a short short story. This week. Most definitely. I just have to finish one of the ones I've been workin' on.

Until then...

Later days.

Song of the Day: "Singin' In the Rain". So good. Probs my favorite musical via the big screen. I can watch it over and over and never tire of it.

BEDAAAAAA

THIS IS A BLOG POST.

Sorry guys, I just got home from mud wrestling/football, and now I have to get to work for the rest of the day.

So. This is a blog post.

Now go listen to some Camera Obscura.

Later days.

Hanna

This is a movie post. If you've followed me on the internet on any sort of various social network, you will know that a huge passion of mine is film and television. I get really into things that most people don't think really matter, including actors, movies, dates of movies releases, directors, shows and their actors, and I'm good at connecting actors to movies and other actors and/or directors. I find this stuff fascinating. So. There's that.

Hanna was fantastic. I give it a 7/7 rating (on my obviously highly thought of scale). The action was mesmerizing, the acting just as good, the music was creepy in the way that it should have been. It was just altogether good filmmaking.

Being a big Saoirse Ronan fan ever since Atonement, I was eager to see this movie as soon as I heard about it a few months back. She was good enough to earn herself an Oscar nom for that film, and I would not be surprised if she gets another for Hanna, it being well deserved.

I'm going to digress for just a second and tell you this isn't a review, just in case you were wondering. I'm literally just expressing my love of the movie I just watched no more than 20 minutes ago.

I'm a huge Kate Blanchet fan as well, and seeing her in this type of role was interesting. She makes an awfully good villain.

Basically, if you like a good action/thriller/suspense film, go see Hanna. It's packed full of awesome, plus some.

On a completely different note, I made a playlist a few weeks ago for a friend to do homework to, and I've decided to share it with you guys. Click the link to download.

Enjoy, and later days.

Childish Gambino

I have been listening to the sweet rhymes of Donald Glover for about two weeks now and I just can't stop.

But that's completely irrelevant.

What is relevant?

The huge ass pot my ceramics teacher threw in class today.

And then he made another one in like, twenty minutes.

INSANE.

So basically I spent about 6 hours in the studio today and made about 3 things worth keeping.

Also. My hair is already getting longer, so all is well with the world.

Which is actually a total lie, considering Japan had another earthquake.

Shit, the world's ending, guys.

JK. I hope not, anyway.

Mmk, I need to go catch up on this season of Lie To Me. Tim Roth ftw.

Later days.

Album of the Day: the latest Childish Gambino EP (click to download) and be warned, it defs needs a parental advisory label. but it's still good if you don't care about that. IF YOU DO CARE go listen to some Vampire Weekend. That's always nice.

Of Course I Did.

I forgot to write yesterday. My apologies.

In other news, my family has been in town and is leaving tomorrow. I'm kind of bummed, but at the same time glad I got to see them.

Other than that, I have been working on music. My roommates have told me that they want a CD of my music before we all move for the summer, which is at the end of this month, so I've been trying to get a head start of recording some songs for them. They are by no means high quality recordings, considering I don't really know how to edit/produce music very well yet. At least not as well as I'd like to be able to in the future.

So. That said, I will be electronically releasing a demo album in the near future, most likely mid-summer time. Along with that, if you're into wizard rock, I'm hoping to release a full length album at some point before the year ends. Sooner than later, I think.

While we're on the topic of HP, no, I wont be going to Leaky Con, no, I'm probs not going to Wrockstock 5 either. MONEY YOU GUYS. IT'S HOLDING ME BACK. Also, I'm pretty sure I'll be moving to another state in August, so travel during the rest of the year seems pretty much out of the question.

And I do believe I have reached my limit for today.

Later days.

Give Your Love Away With Me

Today I thought a lot about what I would pack if I wanted to go away indefinitely. Like clothing wise. Not that I'm thinking about going away indefinitely. But sometimes I'd like to, and sometimes it doesn't sound all that absurd.

Just the thought of being somewhere different, somewhere new, even if for just a few days, sounds incredible. I would really like to just run away sometime for a week and fend for myself somehow for that amount of time, wherever I may be. Perhaps that will be my goal for 2012, instead of reading books or watching movies. I could just...go places. And write about it. Or not write about it. Which ever.

Sometimes I think it might be lonely, if I did go on adventures like that. But then I remember that I'm the sort of person who enjoys going to movies alone and spending my afternoons reading in the courtyard outside the library downtown. Not that I don't enjoy the company of people, just not a lot of people understand me very well, I think. So I do believe this kind of traveling would be something I need to do alone.

Where would you want to go for one week? Anywhere in the U.S., with 300 dollars in your pocket, not including the money it took you to get there. Where would you go??

It's fun to think about. Let me know in a comment.

Later days.

I FORGOT BEDA

Goodness gracious. The very first day of Blog Every Day in April and I forgot to blog.

Ridic.

SO. This is my introductory post. My post introductory post, rather, considering the circumstances. Anyway, I like to write, and sometimes I'm funny, sometimes I'm serious, sometimes I try to be funny and I'm not. Those are basically the three categories I can layout for you at this point. Assuming you continue to read this on a day bay. Daily basis. Kind of like reg bay, but not (regular basis). Keeping that in mind, I have decided to keep my posts somewhat not lengthly, as they can get at times.

Also, I will probably try and cut them up into a lot of unnecessary paragraphs so as to read them more easily.

It helps me to read blogs when all the words aren't jumbled together in this big long bulky thing going down the page. It's my own personal bit of Margo-ness, as opposed to the Capitalization of Letters That don't need to Be upper-Case.

This is already getting too long. I do hope you continue to read my blog though, even if not on a day bay. I will, in fact, make a some-what big effort to keep up the writing. I might even write a few short short stories for you. Those are like short stories. But. Well. Shorter.

Later days.
