Would you like fries to go with that shake?

Well, I'm still alive, and back to posting, it appears - and none too soon. Finals start on monday, and don't take too long, which leaves me with an extra long spring break - like, 12 days instead of 9 - and a lot of stress before I get to enjoy it. So I'm here, "studying" for finals, but mostly being distracted by topless women - both those on the site and those out by the pool, who've apparently decided that I need not study chemistry.

What have I been doing instead of posting? If you've been reading Flux's journal, this is a recap:

I got Steel Battalion for Valentines Day, which has proved to be both iincredibly fun and stressful, as death in the game results in deletion of your save. Ouch.

I saw Bullit at midnight at the Nuart Theater with Scopitone and Flux, which reminded me that Steve McQueen can be awesome even wearing paisley pajamas.

Gran Turismo 4 came out. That's like a straight week right there.

Finally saw Hell in the Pacific, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Paint your Wagon, The Killers ('64). Also saw Susperia, which was pretty damn good. Showed the lady Hard Boiled, Zoolander and Brain Candy. Re-watched Thunderball and Never Say Never Again. All those movies are worth watching, though NSNA mostly for comedic value.

I thought about updating sever times, but didn't.

I helped my brother move into a new apartment near USC.

Went and watched turtle racing at Brennans in Culver City. Apparently, they webcast it. Gamble at home!

Despite the very sacrilege that is a grill without fire, I have purchased a Lean Mean Fat Red...etc. from Target, and have come to love it despite the way it turns burning meat into something more like microwaving popcorn than building a bonfire. More on this later, maybe.

This is probably my longest journal entry ever. Possibly also worst-written.
