"ethnic foodstuffs to re-enact the history of armed conflict since the Second World War. For example, the chapter on the Cold War shows a Big Mac rattling sabres with a pile of Beef Stroganoff and then skulking off-screen defeatedly."
saw this on Drawn! the illustration and cartooning blog.

food fight.

she was the collateral.
so i was studying at the coffee depot down town and there are three other people in the room.
so its 10:30 and tiff gets up and says, "i have to go home. mark take me home. i need to sleep."
and then they get into an argument because mark is also ashley's driver and she isn't ready to go yet. and the group paper is on tiff's computer and they have no way of printing out the file or something. they are real loud and annoying and they talk about flash drives and email accounts and burning cds and viruses. all this talking is real loud.
so i say, "hey i have a flash drive you can use to transfer the file." but thats not the answer because ashleys computer has a virus. blah blah blah. so mark asks if they can take it to their house and then bring it back to me. because tiff "had to go home right now!!" but ashley wasn't ready so she was going to stay at coffee depot and she would be the "collateral." his words not mine.
i really didn't care. like its just stuff. so i let the guy take my flash drive. part of me thought i wouldn't be getting it back.
and then for the next forty minutes i had awkward conversations with ashley. she is a double major in bio and art from ucr and she cusses so much. like non stop. i just haven't been around that in a long time. she talked alot but never asked any questions. it seemed like she just wanted someone to listen to her. "im collateral?" she said. "that sounds important. i have never been something important before."
i don't know. it was just sad. and i wanted to talk to her more. but i didn't. and then mark came back to pick her up and said thanks for the flash drive and gave it back to me.
i don't know what i was expecting but i thought maybe they would have left a word document on there with like a "thank you for your kindness. lets be friends and talk about jesus"document. but none of that happened. and i will probably never see tiff, ashley, and mark again. i didn't even introduce myself. i don't even know their names.
it was just a weird night at coffee depot.

because im a film student.
so now that im a film student (well im taking one film class) i am qualified to give my opinions about movies. Best Picture: JUNO! i rarely see a movie twice while in theaters, because im relatively cheap. but i saw it twice, and then watched it online illegally. and bought the soundtrack. and sean from degrassi was totally in it. and im an arrested devlopment fan. and my enlish teacher from sophomore year was jennifer garnier's room mate or something cool like that. and thoes are the reasons juno should win. Actress: ellen page. she was hillarious. and i want to be her friend. and she is canadian (i think). Supporting Actor: javier bardem. he was so creepy. and i think that makes him a good actor. but i wouldnt want his support any time soon. Supporting Actress: saoirse ronan. the little sister from atonement. because she also mastered the creepy. Director: im just going to pick juno in every category it got a nomination. Original Screenplay: juno. Animated Feature Film: surfs up. because shia is in it. but i havent seen any of these movies. Sound Mixing:transformers. anyone who can make a monster truck talk did a good job mixing. Sound Editing: ratatouille. getting a rat to talk seems harder than making a truck alien talk. Original Song: raise it up from august rush. Costume: hm. across the universe. although i loved that green dress in atonement.
i just got back from seeing no country for old men. not really the type of movie i would choose to see if i could pick anything in the world. but it is up for like a million (8) oscar's.
meh. actually i really dont know what i want to say about it. uhh i liked how the credits just came on with no music. and i want to get an air gun. not because i want to kill people, i just think it would be fun to have the power to shoot out locks.
so these are my picks for the 80th annual oscars. in the categories i have an opinion in. now mind you i havent seen all the movies and in real life my fave movie is the sisterhood of the traveling pants.

the problem with being nocturnal in a day-turnal society.
- i do a lot of my homework in the dark.
- the cafeteria is not accommodating to 11pm dinner times
- i never get to eat breakfast
- when exciting stuff happens in the morning (ex:snow in riverside) i miss it
- i have a hard time waking up for chapel
so today i woke up to a phone call at 10:02... chapel starts at 10 (but you can roll in as late as 10:15 for credit). so i brushed my teeth and changed out of my pjs. i decided to wear jeans, my rainbows

the problem: its raining outside. and im cold. and i want to shower.
