Monday Morning Commute: LOST My God Damn Mind
And then it was over. I almost forgot that I had to write Monday Morning Commute. I was on my way to go to the gym when I it struck me. I’ve been so wrapped up in LOST, and thinking about LOST, and churning out a 2,000+ word recap about the final episode that writing this son of a bitch slipped my mind. I’m going to level with you: I have no desire to be writing this. And I apologize to you if you’ve caught yourself reading this. My apologies. Mea culpa!
Monday Morning Commute. Every Monday I’m going to detail the various things I’m either currently or will be watching, reading, playing, and listening to in the next seven days. It’s Monday. You’ve got a long week of school, work, or compulsive masturbation to get through. Tell me the arts that you’re indulging in, to stave off suicide.

Watching / LOST
I know I’m smacking of repetition, okay? But I’m not alone. I think, regardless of whether or not you liked it, LOST is on a lot of people’s minds today. Everyone is getting down with the analysis, the hating, the debating, the critiquing. I’m no different. Shit is stuck in my brain. A splinter in my mind!
My natural response is to watch it again. Immediately! I am lucky enough to have a girlfriend who has side-stepped the entire phenomenon, wanting to wait until it ended to watch it all. So I’m golden, man. I have a willing partner to engorge myself on the show with. I’m extremely curious to see how it all holds up.

I am currently experiencing my own time-warp. I am existing in the period between Spring semester classes ending, and my Summer classes kicking off. Being a glutton for punishment, and wanting to get my life going, I decided the best course of action would be to simply continuing going on with my education through the Summer months. Right now, I’m somewhere in between enjoying my time off, and ready to get started with the classes again. I’m in the uncomfortable area of only feeling productive when I am learning or reading, or writing, or doing something involving working towards my goal of being a teacher.
Anything else is merely spinning my wheels!

Playing / Super Mario Galaxy 2
Mrs. Caffeine Powered snagged this for me yesterday. Everything else in my gaming backlog is taking a break. I’m hoping to muscle through this before classes start next Tuesday. One can dream. I spend more time writing about video games these days than I do playing them. It’s a commitment to you douchebags. Or at least to the concept of writing about video games. For you douchebags.

We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

Reading / Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
I’m not really reading anything right now. But Snow Crash, as I’ve said before, is a usual staple of mine. Just crack it open and start reading. I’ve brought this son of a bitch to the bathroom, and it accompanies me on my toilet runs these days. There’s a pun in there somewhere.

But yeah, I don’t want to fucking read anything right now. I just finished up with my first semester at grad school, and I realized that I’ve read literally thousands of pages in the past five months. It sort of freaked me out. Like, Jesus Christ, how much can one brain ingest? I pledged when the semester ended to turn my brain off and just relax. And I fucking promise, I’ll do that. It’s just smut and Snow Crash for the next eight days. Unfortunately, this just makes it feel like any other week.
