Drug induced coma

Do you remember that medicine commercial that says that their medicine won't make you feel groggy? They give an example of a a guy looking exhausted and tired and then his head flies away like a balloon? This is how I have felt since I have returned to California.

Another question: How long is someone supposed to experience Jet Lag? I may or may not have the longest documented case. I'll keep you updated.

I am about to finish my second week of classes. I am taking Systematic Theology 1: Theology and Anthropology, Church History 1: Early Church, and Politics and Policy.

I have become a lot more accustomed to Los Angeles. It is a rad town. So much to do. I had the opportunity to go and see slam poetry live. If you are not familiar with Slam poetry then google Def Poetry Jam and watch some. It is impressive.

Also, I just saw Avatar. I realize that I am behind the ball. But, lets talk about this movie. Absolutely stunning to watch. I have never been more enraptured by a movie cinematic-ally. But, that wore off about an hour into the movie and then I was immediately bored. The story is a mix of Ferngully, meets Dances with wolves with a little bit of Schwarzenegger's Commando. Terrible character development and I did not care about the story. They did a terrible job of getting me connected with the story.

Here's my biggest problem. It was written and directed by James Cameron. He has written and directed such films as Terminator 1&2, the Alien series and Titanic. He has the capacity to create incredibly engaging stories and memorable characters but fell short in this film.

Sorry, I just wanted to get that off my chest.

There is really no other news to report other than school. Oh! Any Gilmore girl fans out there? I was in Borders the other day and I saw Michelle. Remember the french black guy who helped run the Inn and the Dragon fly? Yea that guy. He ordered some Hot Tea. It may or may not have been awake tea. I will keep you updated on and any and all star sightings.

  1. David and I completely agree about Avatar. Amazing special effects. Lame plot. And characters.
