Advent Children

For those of you that have played FF7 or know all about it, and are fans of the plot lines, and friggin sweet graphics, I just thought I’d rub it in.

I just got done watching FF7 Advent Children. Subtitled mind you, but that’s no big deal.

And… Holy. Shit. Amazing.

Now onto other relevant things! What’s been up! Well, About a month and a half ago I got a job working for this student bookstore. In a college town, so it was great. I applied simply for a temp job part time to bring in some cash while i look for a real job. Well, they immediately wanted me permanent full time, and they wanted me working in the back doing behind the scenes crap. Cool by me. Now, what I had to do at this job was simple, but not. When we received anything form anyone into the store, I looked at it first. Made sure it was A-ok. Now, thats easy enough. But what they wanted me to do was when we got NEW books in from the publishers, they needed me to scrutinize every inch crack and crevice of the book to make sure it was PERFECT. if it wasn’t, i was to write down its flaw(s). Now, therein lies the problem, because I’m lenient. I don’t find this ding or that slight bend to be a problem. They do. So they had to lay me off, mainly because they had filled up the other positions in the time it took me to start allowing books un-scrutinized to the 10th degree. Maybe the 5th, but not the 10th.

I figured I’d have problems right away, I’m a square, they needed a circle. Well, i tucked in my corners to give it a shot, but i guess i wasn’t strong enough, metaphorically. Oh well.

Aside from that, I haven’t been doing much. Reading a few books. Cryptonomicron by Neal Stephenson, and Bag of Bones by Stephen King. But great books. I haven’t been playing many games lately. And haven’t really written much.

Over the last few days I’ve spent a lotta time talking to friends on AIM and made a good friend or two through here and other means.

I was able to jimmy rig my digi camera as a web cam, but it ate through batteries in no time, so i don’t think I’ll do that often. I have some more pictures from yesterday, mainly of a good friend and her family. However, I am reserved to put them up, so it will be a favorites only thing, for privacy sakes, you know.

I’ve been having nightmares recently. I’m not sure why. I blame Stephen King, but I don’t know. They seem real. Now, I’m not the type to be scared easily. Good or bad, thats how it is. But during these dreams, I’m scared more then I’ve ever been in reality. Except when approaching a good looking girl, face to face. Then I’m usually on the verge of shock. However, these dreams are so lifelike. A couple times I’ve woken myself up scared, heart racing, at like 3am. I remember the dreams, but like normal, they quickly fade as i try to remember them. Like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. I don’t know. They’re very aggravating because I can’t sleep well. So i maybe go online to see if someone is on, but nobody is. I go back to sleep and wake up, wanting to talk, but nobody is there, so I forget about it, and i don’t feel like talking when someone finally comes online. I try my damnedest, but I’m just not an interesting person I guess. I don’t know.

What do I do when a dream is haunting me so? I think tonight, I’ll keep and pad and pencil near me, and when i wake up–because i will probably dream it again–I’ll write down notes. maybe remember it like remembering a night of heavy drinking.

Alright. Now, give me something to write about. ask a question, give me an idea or something. I want to write, but can never find a topic.

As always,
James
