obligatory new blog post

acting on a suggestion, i've joined millions of others (all of us would-be writers/artists/journalists/musicians/perverts) by publishing my very own blog. admittedly, becoming one with the blogosphere will take some time. i have neither the will nor the desire to trudge through whatever mundane thoughts someone else decides to commit to virtual paper, but for some reason, i hold out hope that a better person than i will happen upon this particular blog, and find something to relate to, i guess.

i don't even know what to write about. life, as usual, will have to suffice.

currently, i'm trying to create a presentation about modernism and post-modernism for a class aptly titled "american modernisms." on the downside, my presentation is going to be boring and sucky. on the upside, i will be following a general trend of in-class suckiness. only one fellow student has had a decent presentation, and that included film clips (it has been my experience that the best presentations always include film clips, regardless of how lame the clips may be when viewed separately). i have been trying my hardest to get something with pieces of movies going, but i think it's too late now, since class is in two days. i was going to maybe show a little of a modernist film (perhaps an old film noir, like double indemnity), and then a little post-modernist film, like pulp fiction, but that would mean i'd not only have to watch them both and get good spots for comparison, but i'd also have to have something bright to say about each's role in modernism. blegh.

that's all for today, i suppose. sorry it wasn't cool.
