Be Ready For A Rundown

It's always bad policy to begin a journal entry without anything important to say, in my opinion anyway, but here I am doing just that.

Ahem.

Well, I suppose now is as good of a time as any to describe my mixed, extremely mixed, feelings about the routine (I italicize to bring attention to the fact that I do not in any way intend to use the word routine in a, you know, purely negative connotation) that July manifested and I fully suspect August will carry on. It's not a bad thing really. Far from, in fact. Boredom is my main enemy in life, I think, and I can't really remember the last time I was bored this summer. I hesitate to say it, but, perhaps, I've not been. So, strike that up as a tally on the benefits side and scratch it in hard because it's a very important one.

The only problem worth mentioning is that I'm not workng on the movie, Sandstorm, a tenth of the amount I should be. In fact, I should be in real crisis mode right now, using every spare moment to bring the thing together. But I'm not. And the really "scary" part is that it doesn't really bother me. I really, really enjoy the thirty minute section that is completed. I like it so much that I would never consider not finishing the film. The only important factor is when or how soon or how dramatically later than the original projected completion date I finish. So, we'll see.

I haven't made a list of things I need to do in -- I dunno, several days, which has been an excellent improvement sanity-wise. Although, there is the strong chance that I'm probably not doing a lot of things I should be. Again though, doesn't matter to me at the moment. It's much nicer, in the short run anyway, to just be content, selfish, and unproductive. This may be the last summer I have the ability to do that. I'm going to cash in now, just in case.

I have, contradictary to the previous paragraph, been extremely productive when it comes to taking care of things for school next year. I'm so excited for it that as soon as I get anything in the mail about it I pounce on it and expedite the completion of any forms or what have you that arrive. For example, as boring and tedious as it may have been, I turned around my medical immunization business in two days and that included going to the doctor's. I've almost completed the list of recommended films because I'm lame and value sleep an indescribably small amount. I'm not sure if it's the best policy to watch really artistic/foreign/classical films on two hours of sleep after a night of poker, spontaneous travellings, or other micellaneous social adventures, but that's how I've been managing and the only people that seem to be complaining are my parents when I'm short with them after be woken up at the "reasonable" time of nine in the morning. I think as soon as I knock off the last three or four films, I'm going to watch notihng but stupid comedies and action movies for the rest of the summer. I don't want watching tasteful films to become a chore afterall.

I love it when time is something that feels very limited and hate when it is more like something that needs to be filled up. It's difficult to complain when you don't have time to.
