Full Sail Update #3 -or- a shorter note for a lazy day.

Well the BS group work is done, which is nice. I have an essay due Thursday for English Comp analyzing No Country For Old Men, and then I have Final in BS on Wednesday. That's about it for school, my BS Lecture on monday is being given by Oprah's boyfriend. I wonder if it's appropriate to ask "dating Oprah" questions (when she get's mad is it like "STEEEAADMAN! YOU NEEED TO DOO THE DIIIIIIIIIISSSSHHHEESSSSS!!!!)

Today was exceptional, sometimes you just need to slow down and take a day for yourself. What did I do? I got up at noon, didn't shower, didn't change out of my pajamas, practically did nothing. I played some Wii watched both No Country and John Waters' Desperate Living with commentary. Nothing significant happened but it was a good day to do absolutely nothing.

Yesterday I ordered George Carlin's Last Words, a memoir him and a friend had been working on since the 90s which was published this week. It can be checked out here.

America Update!

We have now taken one step closer to health care reform! Which is a GOOD THING!!!

Glenn Beck has appendicitis and had to stop recording because most likely his appendix burst! Which is a GREAT THING!!!

On to mixed news of the week...

Maine... oh what to say about Maine. First of all a massive shame on Maine for forgetting the meaning of Equal Rights, so a big Screw You Maine from educated Americans!

But in the same election Maine has legalized Medical Marijuana, which is a few bonus points for them, sense weed isn't as bad as it's made out to be, and definitely waaay safer than cigarettes. Still doesn't make up for intolerance, but thanks for playing.

I'm off to bed. Goodnight America!

full Sail Update #2 -or- Writing my life's memoir at 19... absurd, but I guess I won't make it past 20.

So here we are again, week 2 is midway through. Over the weekend my group for BS (behavioral science) met and worked on our project. On monday morning we all met and filmed our proposal video which will be shown in class tomorrow. I didn't edit it, I helped in the beginning, but since then it's been handled by Patrick. From what I've been it's incredibly good, it feels so weird to not be editing something I worked on, but as long as it looks good I'm happy.

Ass for the memoir, that's our essay for English, which I was writing, but it seems I've stopped for the night (it's due thursday so no sweat). Speaking of approaching deadlines, I have my first midterm tomorrow (wednesday) at 5:15! Yes, that was fast.

Things are going swell, I've biked to class the past two days, it hasn't been too hot, and luckily it hasn't rained. On my to do list, get groceries, I've eaten most my hot/corn dog product, I'm out of toquitos, I have half a Pomegranate left, and the rest soup and frozen pizza products (rolls french bread, and bagel). And in the words of Jesus H. Christ, "Man cannot live on bread sauce and cheese alone." (can you believe they abridge that part?) I also need to pick up envelopes so I can mail people, as handwritten letter are way cooler than emails.

Last night I had a dream where Mom and I were sitting in the Weinburg right behind John Waters, watching Pink Flamingos. Somehow Mom wasn't appalled (I think god's suggesting movies for the thanksgiving visit). Anyhow, in the oddly placed intermission John came up and sat next to me. Dream me must be a moron because I remember little of what he said except "I'm working on a new movie soon, you should help out" and my response was something like "um... I'm going to film school so I can't really help, but you should come and talk to the students." While the second would be cool, we all know I'd jump on that opportunity in a heart beat.

Well with that I don't have class til 5:15, so I'm gonna sleep in tomorrow!

For the rest of you, Keep on truckin!

Full Sail Update #1

I probably should number this, if I get in a habit of updating it could be depressing once it's like Full Sail Update #158, who knows.

So I've taken my first to classes. On Monday I had Behavioral Science which is 4 hours long and psychology type class. It's pretty interesting, the first day I couldn't help but imagine the brain function doing their job in some David Lynch, Eraserhead world. We have some sort of project coming up but that'll be explained on Friday (my only friday class for the whole month by the way). I have to pick up a copy of Crash (not Cronenburg's controversial car-crash-sex-thriller that I still want to see, the 2004 oscar winner Crash) so I'm running to Best Buy in the Morning to pick that up.

The second class is English Comp. which is scheduled Tuesdays and Thursdays 1-9. But we get around 4 for an hour dinner break. Then at 5:15 we're back for a lab, which if in the future is like it was today, then we do some degree of written work, and then we can leave when we're done so I was home a around 7 today.

Yes, I'm making friends. Totally having a good time. One of the highlight of my day was barely talking to Jason Reitman, Director of Thank you for Smoking, Juno and the upcoming Up In The Air, also son of Ivan Reitman. Our conversation went a little something like this (read upwards)...

For the record my first @jason is in response to him commenting on driving past a bikini carwash called baywash, and I went out on a limb and threw that out, then I read he was in orlando in his previous tweets and the rest is history.

Anyway, I got home to find that I was so excited, the fact he actually replied kinda overdid the fact that I could've but missed seeing him in person. But super cool in my opinion.

Well that's all I'm writing now.

Stay healthy readers!

New Totally Illogical Films Short!

A new short. I (Kevin Cole) am away at Full Sail to study film, but Brad and Kevin (Madert) are keeping it alive. Below is their first short (They grow up so fast) Pimp My Face. Reportedly a project for their AP Lit class, similar to I'll Bring My Own Rope, but very different. Watch below, I really dig it.

Pimp My Mask - watch more funny videos

Now live from sunny FL...

So yeah, I'm at my apartment now. I have orientation tomorrow morning at 8:30 so me usually going to bed between the hours of 12 and 1 am won't cut it. But I'm probably going to close out the night with Full Metal Jacket (my favorite Kubrick flick).

On Sunday I made my way to the local cinema's an caught the matinee of Where The Wild Things Are, which was pure film magic that evoked pure joy, fear, and sadness. At least half the movie I had a smile on my face and tears in my eyes. It's a solid film, that delivers a swift kick in the pants to all movies based of children's books and cartoons before it. The downside to it being such a solid film altogether is that I probably wouldn't take a small child to it. I don't have a small child though so problem solved!

I'll hopefully be updating this more now that I'm away, but if I don't... sorry?

Until next time, have fun chilluns,

Kevin Cole!

hmm...

I just read the last post and I was like, what the hell was my promised unhappy blog about? Then I remembered that some asshole ripped my car in half while I was work and didn't leave a note. But that was a month ago, and it's been fixed. so we're all good.

I watched There Will Be Blood last night, and definitely should have beat out No Country for the Oscar that year, sorry Coen Brothers, you know I love you guys.

I started packing up DVDs for the big move in a week, sad times ahead.

Also, hello Donna, I know you're reading this.

Quick post

To follow up from 2 weeks ago, Inglourious Basterds is the best movie I've seen this year, and I've seen it twice so far.

There's another blog coming sometime soon, not a happy one mind you, just covering the events of this past day.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS!!!

Brad texted me today, confirming a wonderful thing. The Muvico at Arundel Mills will have a midnight release of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS this Thursday!!! The Regal in Frederick hasn't shown anything for it, so it looks like I'm off to Muvico Thursday night!

Hungover.

Not really, but 3 months after it's release I finally saw The Hangover. Brad, Hillary, and I caught it at the cheap movies a few hours ago. It was really good. Zack Galifianakis as Allen was probably one of the funniest characters I've ever seen. I'm not going to go indepth, but by the end I was honestly wishing there was a stuffed animal of the man. Anyway, it's been out for 3 months, so I'm sure you can find a better review anywhere. But let this be a reminder that if you have yet to see it, hit up the Holiday Cinema's and buy some tickets (it's still at Regal but it's only one showing and why the hell would you pay $10.50 for a movie you could see for $3.25).

That's it for tonight, I'm taking Hillary to her in-cars tomorrow and Tuesday, and also working both those nights. Brad's birthday party is Wednesday, before you know it INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS!!!
